Design or review infrastructure, deployment, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, health checks, rollback, feature flags, production readiness, and mobile release workflows. Use for DevOps, platform, container, pipeline, or release tasks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DevOps Guidelines

## When to Use

Use for DevOps, platform, container, pipeline, or release tasks - any work that touches infrastructure, deployment, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, health checks, rollback, feature flags, production readiness, or mobile release workflows.

## Numbered Workflow

1. **Assess** - identify workload type, target provider/environment, acceptance criteria, and risk level.
2. **Classify** - select applicable sections (deployment strategy, Docker, K8s, CI/CD, health, config, rollback, feature flags, mobile) based on workload/provider/environment.
3. **Plan** - for each selected section, define concrete steps, validation checks, and rollback triggers.
4. **Apply** - execute the plan, running validation at each gate (lint -> typecheck -> unit -> integration -> preview -> smoke).
5. **Verify** - confirm health endpoints, monitoring, rollback capability, and documented outcome.
6. **Rollback-ready** - ensure a tested rollback path exists before declaring success.

## Edge Cases

- Idempotent re-run: workflow must be safe to execute multiple times without side effects.
- Missing credentials: fail fast with clear error; never proceed with partial auth.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/gem-devops-guidelines@sha256:3a980849147f5ec1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.2175afc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
