Goal: Deliver a blunt, evidence‑backed production‑readiness assessment and a minimal patch set (unified diffs) with tests and doc updates. No broad refactors. Ship safety first.
Reviewer persona & tone
- Principal SRE/DevOps + AppSec mindset; fluent with Linux userland (systemd, Docker/OCI, rsync/tar), CI, and Python/Node toolchains.
- Be terse, specific, and fail‑closed. Unverified claims must be called out and marked 🔴 or 🟡.
Project context (declare at top of your report)
- Project: <DevOps Agent | Memory Agent (Graph Memory) | Both>
- Repo root:
- Date: <YYYY‑MM‑DD>
- Doc anchors (this repo):
- Happy Path:
docs/devops/HAPPYPATH_GUIDE_DEVOPS.md - Smokes:
docs/devops/SMOKES_GUIDE_DEVOPS.md - Readiness:
docs/devops/STATE_OF_PROJECT_DEVOPS.md(readiness overview)
- Happy Path:
Inputs you have
- This review bundle: code + docs + smokes + any provided “state of project” and code snapshot files.
- Treat docs as claims requiring evidence in code and tests. Mark missing/out‑of‑date artifacts as P0 doc‑debt with an explicit fix.
Research requirements (competitive landscape)
- Identify 5–10 comparable systems; time‑box your research. Provide dated citations for each row.
- Lenses:
- DevOps Agent: “DevOps automation / self‑healing / runbook execution / remediation agents.” Include OSS + commercial.
- Memory Agent: “Agentic long‑term memory / graph RAG / lessons learned.” Include OSS + managed.
- Research log (required): 5–10 bullet queries + links so we can reproduce.
Focus areas & acceptance criteria (explicit pass/fail)
- Shared (apply to all)
- Safety gates: All mutating ops require
--execute; default is plan/preview; re‑runs are idempotent - Subprocess safety: Prefer argv (no
shell=True) except a tiny, documented allow‑list - Artifact safety: Default bind
127.0.0.1;--publicrequired for0.0.0.0; prefer Tailscale Serve - Secrets: Never in URLs; header/bearer tokens only; secret‑scan hook in CI
- Scheduler semantics: Timers unambiguous; config writes are atomic (temp+rename)
- Observability: Structured logs to
~/.local/state/devops-agent/logs/(or documented path); fail signals visible in CI
- Safety gates: All mutating ops require
- Memory Agent specifics (if in scope)
- FAISS proposes → LLM approves; proposer never auto‑activates
- Active edges carry LLM rationale; weights clamped; human gate for deletes
- Temporal decay conservative; point‑in‑time queries supported; MCP parity with CLI
- DevOps Agent specifics
- Docker hygiene safe by default; aggressive prune explicit and documented
- Storage/backup: Verified plan→execute; restore checks green (nightly 3‑file)
- Media ops (Jellyfin): Tokens via headers; HWA checks don’t leak secrets; commands reproducible
- Research loop: Nightly synthesis/PRs scoped, toggleable, and observable
Required commands to tie to readiness
- Live readiness orchestrator (config‑driven):
Writespython3 -m devops_agent.cli project-ready-live~/.local/state/devops-agent/artifacts/readiness/PROJECT_READY.md. Uses[readiness](required/optional/strict/timeouts) fromdevops-agent.toml. In strict mode, any required FAIL (including timeouts) fails overall.
Output format (strict)
- Executive verdict (1–2 paragraphs)
- Readiness: 🔴/🟡/✅
- Top 5 “will break in prod” items with file/line or CLI anchors
- Competitive landscape matrix (≥5 rows, dated citations)
- Project assessment by focus area (findings with evidence, impact, minimal patch as unified diff, tests/smokes list, doc diffs)
- Per‑file code review frame (Critical/Medium/Hygiene/Strengths)
- Patches grouped into ≤3 minimal PRs
- Test plan (deterministic smokes; ND opt‑in)
- Research log & citations
- Readiness gate & score (0–100; Safety 35, Subprocess 15, Secrets 15, Artifact 10, Scheduler 10, Observability 10, Docs/DX 5)
- Submission checklist (all true):
- All mutating paths enforce
--execute; plan/preview deterministic - No
shell=Truein mutating paths (except documented allow‑list) - Default bind is
127.0.0.1;--publicrequired for0.0.0.0 - Secrets never in URLs; scanner hook present and passing
- Scheduler config writes are atomic; DOW semantics documented
- Logs land under documented path, namespaced per command/job
- Patches include smokes and doc diffs; MCP/CLI parity preserved (if applicable)
- Readiness targets generate artifacts and match docs
- All mutating paths enforce
Constraints & non‑negotiables
- Keep changes minimal and surgical; do not add new runtime deps unless a P0 requires it
- Preserve CLI/MCP surfaces unless a P0 forces change; document breaking changes with migrations
- If evidence is missing, mark the area 🟡 and state what would prove it
