DevOps Engineer Orchestrator

Communication: User's language. Config/​code: English.

Purpose

Orchestrates DevOps activities by coordinating two specialized sub-skills:

  • faion-infrastructure-engineer - Infrastructure, cloud, containerization
  • faion-cicd-engineer - CI/​CD, monitoring, security, operations

Context Discovery

Auto-Investigation

Check for existing infrastructure and DevOps setup:

SignalHow to CheckWhat It Tells Us
DockerfileGlob("**/​Dockerfile*")Docker used
docker-compose.ymlGlob("**/​docker-compose*.yml")Compose setup
*.tf filesGlob("**/​*.tf")Terraform used
k8s/ or kubernetes/Glob("**/​k8s/​**")Kubernetes configs

GCP configGrep("google|gcp", "**/​*.tf")GCP provider

Read existing configs:

  • Dockerfile for current setup
  • docker-compose for service architecture
  • CI/​CD workflows for deployment pipeline

Discovery Questions

Use AskUserQuestion to understand DevOps needs.

Q1: DevOps Goal
question: "What DevOps task do you need help with?"
header: "Task"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Containerize application"
    description: "Docker, multi-stage builds"
  - label: "Set up CI/​CD pipeline"
    description: "Automated builds, tests, deployment"
  - label: "Infrastructure provisioning"
    description: "Cloud resources, Terraform, IaC"
  - label: "Kubernetes deployment"
    description: "K8s configs, Helm charts"
  - label: "Monitoring & observability"
    description: "Metrics, logs, alerts"

Routing:

  • "Containerize" → Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer) → docker-*
  • "CI/​CD" → Skill(faion-cicd-engineer) → github-actions/​gitlab-ci
  • "Infrastructure" → Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer) → terraform-*
  • "Kubernetes" → Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer) → kubernetes-*
  • "Monitoring" → Skill(faion-cicd-engineer) → prometheus, grafana
Q2: Cloud Provider (if infrastructure task)
question: "Which cloud provider are you using?"
header: "Cloud"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "AWS"
    description: "Amazon Web Services"
  - label: "GCP"
    description: "Google Cloud Platform"
  - label: "Azure"
    description: "Microsoft Azure"
  - label: "Hetzner / DigitalOcean"
    description: "Budget-friendly VPS"
  - label: "Self-hosted / On-premise"
    description: "Own servers"

Routing:

  • "AWS" → aws-* methodologies
  • "GCP" → gcp-* methodologies
  • "Azure" → azure patterns (limited)
  • "Hetzner/​DO" → Simpler setup, manual provisioning
  • "Self-hosted" → Docker Compose, systemd, nginx
Q3: CI/​CD Platform (if CI/​CD task)
question: "Where is your code hosted?"
header: "Platform"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "GitHub"
    description: "Use GitHub Actions"
  - label: "GitLab"
    description: "Use GitLab CI"
  - label: "Bitbucket"
    description: "Use Bitbucket Pipelines"
  - label: "Self-hosted"
    description: "Jenkins, ArgoCD, or other"

Routing:

  • "GitHub" → github-actions-*
  • "GitLab" → gitlab-ci-*
  • "Bitbucket" → Basic pipeline config
  • "Self-hosted" → jenkins or argocd-gitops
Q4: Current State
question: "What's your current setup?"
header: "Current"
multiSelect: false
options:
  - label: "Nothing (greenfield)"
    description: "Starting from scratch"
  - label: "Local only (no deployment)"
    description: "Runs on laptop, need production"
  - label: "Basic deployment (manual)"
    description: "Have server, deploy manually"
  - label: "Have CI/​CD, need improvements"
    description: "Pipeline exists, need optimization"

Context impact:

  • "Greenfield" → Full setup, best practices from start
  • "Local only" → Containerize first, then deploy
  • "Manual" → Add CI/​CD, automate deployment
  • "Improvements" → Optimize existing, add monitoring

Orchestration Logic

Single Sub-Skill Tasks

If task clearly belongs to one domain, invoke that sub-skill directly.

Multi Sub-Skill Tasks

For tasks spanning both domains, coordinate sequentially:

  1. infrastructure-engineer for cloud/​container setup
  2. cicd-engineer for pipeline/​monitoring setup
