Is the Nw Devops skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from nWave-ai/nWave. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Nw Devops SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Nw Devops?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Nw Devops with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b681171

Fetched SKILL.md; well-formed frontmatter (name+description). Spot-checked 5 referenced files via raw fetch: density_config.py, nw-density-resolution-contract/SKILL.md, documentation_density_event.py, validate_feature_layout.py all 200; but scripts/shared/telemetry.py (the write_density_event helper the body mandates) is 404 — one broken internal reference. No security smells in the skill itself (the repo README uses a curl|sh installer). Output test: designed the DEVOPS deliverable for a git-hook-installer CLI both without and with the skill body. Baseline gave vague prose and missed the core risk; the skill forced an environments.yaml enumerating with-pre-commit/with-husky/with-stale-config environments, a coexistence_matrix, and idempotency/safe-uninstall assumptions — the actual core.hooksPath collision failure mode. Trigger phrasings judged 5/5 (3 CI/CD/infra/deploy-readiness prompts load it; a unit-test-fix and a product-requirements prompt do not).

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Nw Devops does

nWave DEVOPS wave command skill: guides CI/CD, infrastructure, observability, and deployment-strategy design for a feature, and produces a machine-parseable environments.yaml plus a 9-decision wave-decisions summary. Part of the larger nWave 6-wave framework; the DEVOPS wave sits between DESIGN and DISTILL. Triggers when preparing platform readiness before writing acceptance tests and code.

How to install Nw Devops

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nWave-ai/nWave.git /tmp/nw-devops-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/nw-devops-src/nWave/skills/nw-devops ~/.claude/skills/nw-devops
# This is one wave of the nWave framework (v3.19). The SKILL.md works standalone as a
# guided checklist that produces docs/feature/{id}/devops/environments.yaml + wave-decisions.md.
# FULL behavior (density resolution, telemetry, @nw-platform-architect agent dispatch, prior-wave
# artifact reading) requires the whole framework installed: Python 3.10+ then
#   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nWave-ai/nWave/main/scripts/install/install.sh)"
# (note: that upstream installer is a curl|sh pipe — inspect before running).
# Referenced helper scripts/shared/telemetry.py is MISSING from the repo (404).

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
