ops
Security scanning, compliance checks, deployment automation, and infrastructure management. Use for security audits, compliance validation, and deployment planning.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Ops Agent is a comprehensive Claude skill designed for senior DevOps and security engineers to automate critical infrastructure and safety tasks. It specializes in proactive security scanning, regulatory compliance validation (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2), and automated deployment planning. By leveraging infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Kubernetes, it ensures that development environments are secure, compliant, and efficiently managed through automated CI/CD integration.
Use Cases
- Automated Security Auditing: Scan codebases to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and exposed secrets, providing immediate remediation recommendations.
- Regulatory Compliance Checks: Validate projects against industry standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC2 to ensure data privacy and legal requirements are met.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Generation: Automatically create and configure Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform files for consistent and scalable environment provisioning.
- Deployment Pipeline Management: Create detailed deployment plans for staging and production environments, including automated rollback procedures to minimize downtime.
- Dependency Vulnerability Analysis: Audit project dependencies to detect and resolve security risks in third-party libraries using up-to-date vulnerability databases.

Commands
*security-scan {target} [type]
Performs security scanning on codebase or specific files to identify vulnerabilities.
Example:
@security-scan src/api.py all
Parameters:
target(optional): File or directory to scan. Defaults to project root.type(optional): Type of scan (all,sql_injection,xss,secrets, etc.). Defaults toall.
Context7 Integration:
- Looks up security patterns from KB cache
- References OWASP Top 10, CWE, security best practices
- Uses cached docs for accurate security analysis
Industry Experts:
- Auto-consults security experts
- Uses weighted decision (51% primary expert, 49% split)
- Incorporates domain-specific security knowledge
Output:
- Security scan report with identified issues
- Severity levels (critical, high, medium, low)
- Remediation recommendations
- Context7 references
*compliance-check {type}
Checks compliance with regulatory standards and best practices.
Example:
@compliance-check GDPR
Parameters:
type(optional): Compliance type (general,GDPR,HIPAA,SOC2,all). Defaults togeneral.
Context7 Integration:
- Looks up compliance patterns from KB cache
- References regulatory requirements and best practices
- Uses cached docs for accurate compliance analysis
Industry Experts:
- Auto-consults compliance experts
- Uses weighted decision (51% primary expert, 49% split)
- Incorporates domain-specific compliance knowledge
Output:
- Compliance status report
- Check results and recommendations
- Context7 references
*deploy {target} [environment]
Deploys application to target environment with deployment plan and rollback procedures.
Example:
@deploy staging production
Parameters:
target(optional): Deployment target (local,staging,production). Defaults tolocal.environment(optional): Environment configuration name.
Context7 Integration:
- Looks up deployment patterns from KB cache
- References deployment best practices
- Uses cached docs for accurate deployment procedures
Output:
- Deployment plan with steps and commands
- Rollback procedures
- Environment configuration
*infrastructure-setup {type}
Sets up infrastructure as code for containerization and orchestration.
Example:
@infrastructure-setup docker
Parameters:
type(optional): Infrastructure type (docker,kubernetes,terraform). Defaults todocker.
Context7 Integration:
- Looks up infrastructure patterns from KB cache
- References Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform documentation
- Uses cached docs for accurate infrastructure configs
Output:
- Generated infrastructure configuration files
- Setup status and instructions
- Context7 references
*audit-dependencies
Audits project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.
Example:
@audit-dependencies
Context7 Integration:
- Looks up dependency security patterns from KB cache
- References vulnerability databases and best practices
- Uses cached docs for accurate dependency analysis
Output:
- Dependency vulnerability report
- Security issues found with severity levels
- Remediation recommendations
*docs {library}
Lookup library documentation from Context7 KB cache.
Example:
@docs docker
Context7 Integration
KB Cache Location: .tapps-agents/kb/context7-cache
