Operational Safety
Progressive-disclosure operational-safety-depth modules for the work-loop. Holds failure-mode-keyed checklists the quality-engineer reviewer reasons from (state-and-idempotency, blast-radius, environment-isolation, cost-and-teardown, drift-and-rollback, observability-and-smoke), plus cloud-implementation-craft, the module also inlined into the implementer's EXECUTE brief. Each is grounded in standing operational taxonomy (AWS Well-Architected, Google SRE, the Terraform/Pulumi Day-1/Day-2 split). The orchestrator loads only the matching modules and inlines them into the reviewer's REVIEW brief — and cloud-implementation-craft into the implementer's EXECUTE brief — when infra/destructive work is detected; the subagent never self-discovers this skill. Not a reviewer prompt itself — it is the depth library the reviewer and implementer reason from. Carves against security-checklists on the reliability-vs-security lens.

From the source SKILL.md
This skill is the depth library behind the quality-engineer agent for infrastructure and destructive operational work. The reviewer's body carries the universal method (its testability / observability / reliability / maintainability lens, the severity rubric, the report format). The shape-specific depth — what to actually check at each operational failure mode — lives here, in the per-failure-mode references/<module>.md modules (reviewer checklists plus cloud-implementation-craft, the EXECUTE-craft module — see below), so the agent prompt stays lean and the depth scales without bloat. It is…
What this skill does
Operational Safety is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/operational-safety/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Operational Safety Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Operational Safety skill?
Use Operational Safety when your Claude Code task falls under the Security category — specifically in the security misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Operational Safety" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Operational Safety skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Operational Safety is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category. Learn more at
