DevOps Workflow Engineer

Name: devops-workflow-engineer
Author: borghei

Generate GitHub Actions workflow YAML, analyze existing pipelines for optimization opportunities, and create deployment plans with strategy selection, health checks, and rollback procedures.

Core Capabilities

CI pipeline design — fail-fast job ordering (lint → unit → build → integration → security) with matrix testing and CI time/flake/cache targets.
CD & multi-environment — dev/staging/prod promotion flows, build-once-deploy-everywhere, environment protection rules, and rollback at every stage.
Pipeline optimization — detect missing caching, missing timeouts, serial chains, deprecated actions, leaked secrets, and oversized runners; apply path filtering and concurrency cancellation.
Deployment strategies — choose blue-green, canary, or rolling via decision tree; canary traffic-split schedule with promotion gates.
GitHub Actions patterns — reusable workflows, OIDC auth, secrets hierarchy, and runner cost estimation.

When to Use

Designing a new CI or CD workflow from scratch.
Planning a multi-environment (dev/staging/prod) deployment.
Optimizing an existing pipeline's cost or runtime.
Implementing a blue-green, canary, or rolling deployment strategy.

Clarify First

Before generating the workflow, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

Workflow type — CI, CD, release, or security-scan (sets workflow_generator.py --type)
Stack — language and test framework (e.g. python/pytest) (drives the generated YAML steps via --language/--test-framework)
Deployment strategy & environments — blue-green, canary, or rolling, and which of dev/staging/prod (drives the deployment_planner.py plan)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Tools

Tool	Purpose	Command
`workflow_generator.py`	Generate GitHub Actions YAML (ci, cd, release, security-scan, docs-check)	`python scripts/workflow_generator.py --type ci --language python --test-framework pytest`
`pipeline_analyzer.py`	Analyze workflows for optimization findings, cost estimates, severity ratings	`python scripts/pipeline_analyzer.py .github/workflows/ --format json`
`deployment_planner.py`	Generate a deployment plan with strategy, health checks, rollback	`python scripts/deployment_planner.py --type webapp --environments dev,staging,prod --strategy canary`

All tools support --format json and --output/-o for file writing.

Integration Points

Skill	Integration
`release-orchestrator`	Release workflows align with versioning and changelog
`senior-devops`	Deployment strategies complement infra automation
`senior-secops`	Security scanning steps feed SecOps dashboards
`senior-qa`	CI quality gates map to QA acceptance criteria
`incident-commander`	Rollback procedures connect to incident playbooks
