Plan, implement, or review operational readiness, observability, reliability, recovery, runbooks, backups, support, and maintenance for projects.
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
# operations-engineer ## Purpose During Development Use this skill when Codex and similar AI coding agents need to plan, implement, or review the operational readiness of a project. This is a reusable development-time reasoning framework. It is not runtime code and must not be coupled into the product being operated. ## When To Apply - preparing a project for production, demos, handoff, support, or repeated use - defining logs, metrics, alerts, backups, incident response, runbooks, or maintenance tasks - reviewing reliability, recoverability, support burden, or operational ownership - deciding how much operations work is enough for the simplest feasible launch ## What To Inspect - deployment path, runtime model, data stores, background jobs, queues, storage, and external services - existing observability, logging, monitoring, error reporting, backup, and support tools - failure modes for startup, deploy, rollback, migration, secrets, data loss, rate limits, and dependencies - ownership notes, runbooks, incident docs, support workflows, and on-call expectations - cost and security constraints that affect operations ## Rules To Enforce …

How to install
mdr add polakinio/ai-engineering-playbook/operations-engineer@sha256:dc489f88ca76e317The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b0dd88, 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.
