cache-bust-deploy-validation

90 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

By CarlosCaPe/octorato (GitHub) · devops · 18 stars · scanned at commit cfaeb00

After a production deploy of a CDN-fronted site, force cache-bust on every validation request and inspect Age/cache-status headers — the CDN can serve a stale 200 with old content for hours, hiding a broken deploy. Use whenever validating a freshly-deployed web app, debugging "deploy completed but the live site shows the old version", or building a post-deploy smoke test.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cache-bust-deploy-validation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cache-bust-deploy-validation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cache-bust-deploy-validation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/CarlosCaPe/octorato' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'cfaeb008b4e13a38256d7358ed654f082122b122' -- 'skills/cache-bust-deploy-validation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/cache-bust-deploy-validation' ~/.agents/skills/'cache-bust-deploy-validation' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'cache-bust-deploy-validation' ~/.claude/skills/'cache-bust-deploy-validation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
