/ops-readiness-audit — Production Operations Readiness
Score /100. Verify the platform is ready for production operations: monitoring, logging, backup, alerting, deployment.
Process
1. Check Infrastructure Config
# Monitoring endpoints (broad scope — catches all submodules + infrastructure)
grep -rn "actuator\|prometheus\|metrics\|health" --include="*.yml" --include="*.yaml" \
| grep -v node_modules | grep -v target | head -30
# Logging config (broad scope)
grep -rn "logging\.\|logback\|log4j\|winston\|pino" --include="*.yml" --include="*.xml" --include="*.ts" \
| grep -v node_modules | grep -v target | head -20
# Backup/DR docs
ls documents/guides/*backup* documents/guides/*disaster* documents/guides/*recovery* 2>/dev/null
# Helm/k8s health probes
grep -rn "livenessProbe\|readinessProbe\|startupProbe" infrastructure/ | head -10
# Alert rules
ls infrastructure/*/alerting* infrastructure/*/alerts* 2>/dev/null
2. Primacy: bug-finding > scoring (BLOCKING)
An audit's purpose is to surface ops-operational gaps the dev team cannot trust other layers to catch. A
60/100 Dscore with hidden P0 gaps (no restore drill, no PII scrubber, no alert rules) is WORSE than40/100listing every gap honestly. Per.claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md§4.
Rules for every audit run:
- Enumerate ALL §3 sub-checks per category. NEVER skip "obviously fine."
- Each sub-check returns: PASS / FAIL / N/A-with-reason /
❓ UNCHECKED. No partial credit. - Final output starts with bug list (every FAIL surfaces) BEFORE the score.
- Score is descriptive only; audit-level verdict = FAIL if ANY P0 sub-check FAILS.
- If audit time-budget runs out, mark
❓ UNCHECKED— do NOT default to PASS.
3. Score 5 Categories with per-check rubric
Every category binds to a per-check pass/fail rule. Within each 20-pt category: any P0/P1 sub-check FAIL caps category total ≤ 16/20.
| # | Category (20pts) | Per-check rubric file |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monitoring & Observability | .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md §2.1 (6 sub-checks, per-check pass/fail) |
| 2 | Logging Standards | .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md §2.2 (6 sub-checks, per-check pass/fail) |
| 3 | Backup & Recovery | .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md §2.3 (6 sub-checks, per-check pass/fail) |
| 4 | Alerting | .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md §2.4 (6 sub-checks, per-check pass/fail) |
| 5 | Deployment Pipeline | .claude/rules/audit-skill-rubric-ops-readiness-audit.md §2.5 (6 sub-checks, per-check pass/fail) |
Per-check scoring (all 5 categories)
For each Category N:
- Walk through every §2 sub-check in the bound rule.
- Mark each sub-check PASS / FAIL / N/A-with-reason /
❓ UNCHECKED(no partial credit). - Score =
20 - (failed_P0_count * 6) - (failed_P1_count * 3) - (failed_P2_count * 1), floor 0; cap 20 if all PASS. - If ANY P0 sub-check fails → category total CAPPED at 16/20 AND audit-level verdict = FAIL regardless of total score.
- Each FAIL surfaces in the audit-report bug list per §2 primacy.
Legacy scoring narrative: reference/scoring-guide.md retained for backward-compat only — the bound rule §2 IS the canonical rubric.

Context Management
Token budget ~25-35K. Kiểm soát:
- Grep infrastructure files —
| head -20per grep. Infrastructure files nhiều nhưng config sections lặp lại. - Helm values — Chỉ đọc security-relevant keys (
resources,probes,securityContext), không đọc full values.yaml. - IaC — Chỉ check state backend config + resource count, không đọc full
.tffiles. - Doc existence check — Dùng
lsthay vìcatcho backup/DR docs. Chỉ đọc nội dung nếu cần verify chi tiết.
Gotchas
- Spring Boot Actuator may be enabled but endpoints not exposed — check
management.endpoints.web.exposure - Prometheus metrics need
/actuator/prometheusendpoint AND scrape config in k8s - Message broker monitoring (RabbitMQ/Kafka): separate from app monitoring — check the broker's management plugin/exporter
- Object storage: backup strategy different from the relational DB — object storage vs relational
- If you have multiple microservices, each needs an independent health check
- IaC state: must be remote (managed object-store bucket), not local
- Multi-module scope — narrow grep on a single module may miss submodule config files; prefer broad
--include="*.yml"from repo root.
