Skill: DevSecOps Free Discovery

Goal

Orchestrate systematic discovery of free DevSecOps infrastructure by walking agents through the free-for-dev catalog and related resources.

Use This Skill When

• Starting a DevSecOps infrastructure discovery workflow
• Building a free tier infrastructure plan
• Identifying cost-effective alternatives for paid services

Do Not Use This Skill When

• Looking for paid enterprise solutions
• Needing SLA-backed production services

Inputs

• Project requirements (compute, storage, CI/CD, monitoring needs)
• Budget constraints (zero-cost preferred)
• Infrastructure category focus (optional)

Steps

1. Identify Infrastructure Categories

   • Major Cloud Providers (GCP, AWS, Azure, Oracle, IBM)
   • CI/CD and Build Systems
   • Security and PKI
   • Monitoring and Logging
   • DNS and CDN
   • Source Code Repos
   • Authentication and Authorization
   • Storage and Media Processing
   • Container/Container Registry

2. Fetch the Catalog

   • Primary: https://github.com/ripienaar/free-for-dev
   • Use webfetch tool on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ripienaar/free-for-dev/master/README.md
   • Parse the table of contents for relevant sections

3. Categorize by DevSecOps Domain

   • Use sub-skills for domain-specific discovery:
     • devsecops-free-cloud - IaaS/PaaS compute resources
     • devsecops-free-cicd - CI/CD pipelines, build systems
     • devsecops-free-security - Security, PKI, scanning
     • devsecops-free-monitoring - Monitoring, logging, APM
     • devsecops-free-dns - DNS, CDN, SSL/TLS
     • devsecops-free-auth - Authentication, authorization
     • devsecops-free-storage - Object storage, databases

4. Match Requirements to Offerings

   • Compare project needs against free tier limits
   • Document limitations (bandwidth, storage, compute hours)
   • Flag services requiring credit card for signup

5. Create Comparison Matrix

   • Service name, provider, free tier limits
   • Region availability
   • Credit card requirement
   • SSL/TLS availability
   • SSO restrictions

Output

• Structured inventory of free DevSecOps infrastructure
• Recommendations matched to project requirements
• Limitations and gotchas document
