Config drift check
Compare environment config files and example templates every hour and report keys that exist in one environment but not the others.
/loop 60m diff the keys (not values) across .env.example, config/staging.yaml, and config/production.yaml; report any key present in one file but missing in another, and any key in .env.example that no code references anymore

Implementation note
Compares key names only, never secret values, so nothing sensitive enters the transcript. Catches the classic works-in-staging-missing-in-prod config bug early.
More devops loops
Docker image slimming
Iteratively shrink a Docker image under a size target using multi-stage builds, smaller base images, and layer cleanup, verifying the container still boots each turn.
/goal `docker images` shows the app image under 300 MB — apply one slimming change per turn (multi-stage build, slimmer base image, prune build deps, consolidate layers), rebuild, and verify the container starts and passes its healthcheck before the next change; stop at the target or after 8 turns
Deploy-poll loop
A hands-free ops loop that polls your deploy every two minutes, runs the smoke test the moment it goes live, and stops with a report if any check fails.
/loop every 2 minutes: check deploy status; when it's live, run the smoke test and summarize; if smoke test fails, report the failing check and stop
Guardrails: Stop when the goal is verifiably met, or stop after 15 iterations, whichever comes first. Keep changes minimal and never touch files outside the task’s scope.
Site-back-up interval watch
The simplest useful monitor: every 30 minutes, load the homepage of a down site; the moment it returns a normal page, report and stop.
/loop 30m check whether my live site [URL] is back up by loading the homepage. The moment it returns a normal page, tell me and stop checking. Cap the run at 15 passes.
