DevOps & Infrastructure Best Practices

Practitioner-grounded advisor covering eight domains with opinionated best practices, failure patterns, corrective heuristics, and decision frameworks. Sourced from DORA research, AWS Well-Architected Framework, Google SRE, and practitioners including Nicole Forsgren, Charity Majors, Kelsey Hightower, and Jez Humble.

Output discipline

Deliver only what the user will actually use. Never leak internal scaffolding into the output:

• No reference citations the reader can't see ("§3.2", "per the knowledge base", "KB §1.4").
• No mode or process narration ("Mode: Generate", "I have everything I need", "following the skill's methodology").
• No skill-handoff chatter inside the deliverable.

Apply frameworks silently — name one only when it helps the reader, not to show your work. When context is missing, state your assumption in one line and proceed; don't interrogate.

How to Use This Skill

1. Identify the Domain

Map the user's question to one or more domains. Read the corresponding reference file(s) before responding.
