DevOps Setup (Gate 1)

Overview

This skill configures the development and deployment infrastructure:

• Creates or updates Dockerfile for the application
• Configures docker-compose.yml for local development
• Documents environment variables in .env.example
• Verifies the containerized application works

CRITICAL: Role Clarification

This skill ORCHESTRATES. DevOps Agent IMPLEMENTS.

Who	Responsibility
This Skill	Gather requirements, prepare prompts, validate outputs
DevOps Agent	Create Dockerfile, docker-compose, .env.example, verify

Step 1: Validate Input

<verify_before_proceed>

• unit_id exists
• language is valid (go|typescript|python)
• service_type is valid (api|worker|batch|cli)
• implementation_files is not empty </verify_before_proceed>

REQUIRED INPUT (from ring:dev-cycle orchestrator):
- unit_id: [task/subtask being containerized]
- language: [go|typescript|python]
- service_type: [api|worker|batch|cli]
- implementation_files: [files from Gate 0]

OPTIONAL INPUT:
- gate0_handoff: [full Gate 0 output]
- new_dependencies: [deps added in Gate 0]
- new_env_vars: [env vars needed]
- new_services: [postgres, redis, etc.]
- existing_dockerfile: [true/false]
- existing_compose: [true/false]

if any REQUIRED input is missing:
  → STOP and report: "Missing required input: [field]"
  → Return to orchestrator with error

Step 2: Analyze DevOps Requirements

1. Check existing files:
   - Dockerfile: [EXISTS/MISSING]
   - docker-compose.yml: [EXISTS/MISSING]
   - .env.example: [EXISTS/MISSING]

2. Determine actions needed:
   - Dockerfile: CREATE / UPDATE / NONE
   - docker-compose.yml: CREATE / UPDATE / NONE
   - .env.example: CREATE / UPDATE / NONE

3. Identify services needed:
   - From new_services input
   - From language (Go → alpine base, TS → node base)
   - From service_type (api → expose port, worker → no port)

Step 3: Initialize DevOps State

devops_state = {
  unit_id: [from input],
  dockerfile_action: "pending",
  compose_action: "pending",
  env_action: "pending",
  services: [],
  verification: {
    build: null,
    startup: null,
    health: null
  },
  iterations: 0,
  max_iterations: 3
}

Step 4: Dispatch DevOps Agent

<dispatch_required agent="ring:devops-engineer"> Create/update Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, and .env.example for containerization. </dispatch_required>

Task:
  subagent_type: "ring:devops-engineer"
  description: "Create/update DevOps artifacts for [unit_id]"
  prompt: |
    ⛔ MANDATORY: Create all DevOps Artifacts

    ## Input Context
    - **Unit ID:** [unit_id]
    - **Language:** [language]
    - **Service Type:** [service_type]
    - **Implementation Files:** [implementation_files]
    - **New Dependencies:** [new_dependencies or "None"]
    - **New Environment Variables:** [new_env_vars or "None"]
    - **New Services Needed:** [new_services or "None"]

    ## Existing Files
    - Dockerfile: [EXISTS/MISSING]
    - docker-compose.yml: [EXISTS/MISSING]
    - .env.example: [EXISTS/MISSING]

    ## Standards Reference
     

          

    

    
         
       
        
      
       

    
      
         
        
        
         
       

    
        
       
       
        

    

    
     
    
            
    
           
    

    
       
          
         
         
    

    
        []
         []
        [ ]
            [ ]

    
            
         [ ]

Step 5: Validate Agent Output

Parse agent output:

1. Extract Standards Coverage Table
2. Extract Files Created/Updated
3. Extract Verification results

if "all STANDARDS MET: ✅ YES" and all verifications PASS:
  → devops_state.dockerfile_action = [from table]
  → devops_state.compose_action = [from table]
  → devops_state.env_action = [from table]
  → devops_state.verification = {build: PASS, startup: PASS, health: PASS}
  → Proceed to Step 7

if any section has ❌ or any verification FAIL:
  → devops_state.iterations += 1
  → if iterations >= max_iterations: Go to Step 8 (Escalate)
  → Re-dispatch agent with specific failures

Step 6: Re-Dispatch for Fixes (if needed)

Task:
  subagent_type: "ring:devops-engineer"
  description: "Fix DevOps issues for [unit_id]"
  prompt: |
    ⛔ FIX REQUIRED - DevOps Standards Not Met

    ## Issues Found
    [list ❌ sections and FAIL verifications]

    ## Standards Reference
    WebFetch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/devops.md

    Fix all issues and re-run verification commands.
    Return updated Standards Coverage Table with all ✅.

After fix → Go back to Step 5

Step 7: Prepare Success Output

Generate skill output:

## DevOps Summary
**Status:** PASS
**Unit ID:** [unit_id]
**Iterations:** [devops_state.iterations]

## Files Changed
| File | Action | Summary |
|------|--------|---------|
| Dockerfile | [CREATED/UPDATED/UNCHANGED] | [summary] |
| docker-compose.yml | [CREATED/UPDATED/UNCHANGED] | [summary] |
| .env.example | [CREATED/UPDATED/UNCHANGED] | [summary] |

## Services Configured
| Service | Image | Port | Health Check |
|---------|-------|------|--------------|
| app | [built] | [port] | [healthcheck] |
| [db] | [image] | [port] | [healthcheck] |
| [cache] | [image] | [port] | [healthcheck] |

## Verification Results
| Check | Status | Output |
|-------|--------|--------|
| Build | ✅ PASS | Successfully built |
| Startup | ✅ PASS | All services Up |

Step 8: Escalate - Max Iterations Reached

Generate skill output:

## DevOps Summary
**Status:** FAIL
**Unit ID:** [unit_id]
**Iterations:** [max_iterations] (MAX REACHED)

## Files Changed
[list what was created/updated]

## Issues Remaining
[list unresolved issues]

## Verification Results
[list PASS/FAIL for each check]

## Handoff to Next Gate
- DevOps status: FAILED
- Ready for Gate 2: no
- **Action Required:** User must manually resolve issues

⛔ ESCALATION: Max iterations (3) reached. User intervention required.

Pressure Resistance

See shared-patterns/shared-pressure-resistance.md for universal pressure scenarios.

User Says	Your Response
"Skip Docker, runs fine locally"	"Docker ensures consistency. Dispatching ring:devops-engineer now."
"Demo tomorrow, no time"	"Docker takes 30 min. Better than environment crash during demo."
"We'll containerize later"	"Later = never. Containerizing now."

Anti-Rationalization Table

See shared-patterns/shared-anti-rationalization.md for universal anti-rationalizations.

Gate 1-Specific Anti-Rationalizations

Rationalization	Why It's WRONG	Required Action
"Works fine locally"	Your machine ≠ production	Containerize for consistency
"Docker is overkill"	Docker is baseline, not overkill	Create Dockerfile
"Just need docker run"	docker-compose is reproducible	Use docker-compose
"Lambda doesn't need Docker"	SAM uses Docker locally	Use SAM containers
