This is your automation layer for everything between git push and production. It handles GitHub Actions workflows, Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and GitOps setups with ArgoCD. The 15 anti-patterns section is genuinely useful, covering real problems like hardcoded secrets, missing rollback strategies, and the :latest tag trap. Ships with 750+ lines of reference examples including a complete EKS module and multi-stage Dockerfiles. Pairs well with the security auditor skill to harden your pipeline. If you're tired of copying YAML between repos or debugging why your pods keep getting OOMKilled, this gives you the patterns and checks to build it properly the first time.
