Sets up Docker, CI/CD, and environment configuration with auto-detection. Use when adding DevOps infrastructure to a project.
Paths: File paths (references/, ../ln-*) are relative to this skill directory.
ln-730-devops-setup
Type: L2 Domain Coordinator
Category: 7XX Project Bootstrap
Parent: ln-700-project-bootstrap
Coordinates DevOps infrastructure setup by delegating to specialized workers.
Purpose & Scope
Orchestrates the complete DevOps setup for a project:
Does: Auto-detect stack, delegate to workers, verify configuration
Does NOT: Generate files directly (delegates to ln-731, ln-732, ln-733)
Overview
Aspect
Details
Input
Project directory with source code
Output
Docker, CI/CD, environment configuration
Workers
ln-731 (Docker), ln-732 (CI/CD), ln-733 (Environment)
Mode
Auto-detect (no user prompts)
Supported Stacks
Component
Option 1
Option 2
Frontend
React/Vite + Nginx
-
Backend
.NET 8/9
Python (FastAPI/Django)
Database
PostgreSQL
-
CI/CD
GitHub Actions
-
Workflow
Phase 1: Pre-flight Validation
Check required tools and project structure:
Verify Docker is installed (docker --version)
Verify docker-compose is available
Check for existing DevOps files (warn if overwriting)
Output: Validation report or STOP with instructions
Phase 2: Project Analysis (Auto-detect)
Detect project stack automatically:
Detection
Method
Files to Check
Frontend
Package.json presence
src/frontend/package.json, package.json
Backend .NET
.csproj/.sln presence
*.sln, src/**/*.csproj
Backend Python
requirements.txt/pyproject.toml
requirements.txt, pyproject.toml
Database
Connection strings in code
appsettings.json, .env.example
Existing CI/CD
Workflow files
.github/workflows/, azure-pipelines.yml
Version Detection:
Node.js: Read from package.json engines or use node -v
.NET: Read from *.csproj TargetFramework
Python: Read from pyproject.toml or runtime.txt
PostgreSQL: Default to latest stable (17)
Output: Stack configuration object with detected versions
Phase 3: Worker Delegation
Delegate to workers in parallel (independent tasks):
ln-730 (Coordinator)
|
+---> ln-731-docker-generator (via Skill tool)
| Input: stack config, versions
| Output: Dockerfile.*, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore
|
+---> ln-732-cicd-generator (via Skill tool)
| Input: stack config, detected commands
| Output: .github/workflows/ci.yml
|
+---> ln-733-env-configurator (via Skill tool)
Input: detected environment variables
Output: .env.example, .env.development, .gitignore updates
Error Handling:
If worker fails, log error and continue with others
Report all failures at the end
Suggest manual fixes for failed components
Invocations:
Skill(skill: "ln-731-docker-generator", args: "{projectPath}")
Skill(skill: "ln-732-cicd-generator", args: "{projectPath}")
Skill(skill: "ln-733-env-configurator", args: "{projectPath}")
Phase 4: Configuration Verification
Verify generated configuration:
Run docker-compose config to validate syntax
Check all referenced files exist
Verify no secrets in committed files
Output: Verification report
Phase 5: Completion Report
Generate summary:
List all created files
Show detected stack configuration
Provide next steps for user
Generated Files
Docker (ln-731)
Dockerfile.frontend - Multi-stage build for frontend
Dockerfile.backend - Multi-stage build for backend
docker-compose.yml - Service orchestration
docker-compose.override.yml - Development overrides (optional)
.dockerignore - Build context exclusions
CI/CD (ln-732)
.github/workflows/ci.yml - Main CI pipeline
Environment (ln-733)
.env.example - Template with all variables
.env.development - Development defaults
.env.production - Production template (placeholders)
.gitignore updates - Secrets protection
Critical Notes
Auto-detect Only: No interactive prompts. Uses detected values or sensible defaults.
Idempotent: Check file existence before creation. Warn before overwriting.
Parallel Execution: Workers are independent, can run in parallel.
Error Recovery: Continue on partial failures, report all issues at end.
Version Pinning: Use detected versions, not hardcoded values.
TodoWrite format (mandatory):
- Invoke ln-731-docker-generator (pending)
- Invoke ln-732-cicd-generator (pending)
- Invoke ln-733-env-configurator (pending)
- Verify configuration (pending)
- Generate completion report (pending)
Worker Invocation (MANDATORY)
Host Skill Invocation: Skill(skill: "...", args: "...") is mandatory delegation.
Claude: call the Skill tool exactly as shown.
Codex: if no Skill tool exists, locate the named skill in available skills, read its SKILL.md, treat args as $ARGUMENTS, execute that skill workflow, then return here with its result/artifact.
Do not inline worker logic or mark the worker complete without executing the target skill.
Phase
Worker
Context
3a
ln-731-docker-generator
Shared (Skill tool) — Dockerfiles, docker-compose, .dockerignore
3b
ln-732-cicd-generator
Shared (Skill tool) — CI/CD pipeline configuration
3c
ln-733-env-configurator
Shared (Skill tool) — environment files and .gitignore
All workers: Invoke via Skill tool — workers see coordinator context.
Definition of Done
Pre-flight validation passed
Stack auto-detected successfully
All workers completed (or failures documented)
docker-compose config validates successfully
No secrets in generated files
Completion report displayed
Reference Files

Meta-Analysis
Optional reference: load references/meta_analysis_protocol.md only when the user asks for post-run meta-analysis or protocol-formatted run reflection.
Skill type: execution-orchestrator. When requested, run after all phases complete. Output to chat using the execution-orchestrator format.
