Stakpak – terminal-native DevOps Agent

Stakpak can run commands, edit files, search docs, and more. It has security super powers, and generates high quality IaC.

It’s designed for the grittiest parts of software development with enterprise-grade security features including mutual TLS (mTLS) encryption, dynamic secret redaction, and privacy-first architecture.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Security Hardened:
    • Mutual TLS (mTLS) – End-to-end encrypted communication between agent components
    • Dynamic Secret Substitution – AI can read/write/compare secrets without seeing actual values
    • Secure Password Generation – Generate cryptographically secure passwords with configurable complexity
    • Privacy Mode – Redacts sensitive data like IP addresses and AWS account IDs
  • Built for DevOps Work:
    • Asynchronous Task Management – Run background commands like port forwarding and servers with proper tracking and cancellation
    • Real-time Progress Streaming – Long-running processes (Docker builds, deployments) stream progress updates in real-time
    • Infrastructure Code Indexing – Automatic local indexing and semantic search for Terraform, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, and GitHub Actions
    • Documentation Research Agent – Built-in web search for technical documentation, cloud providers, and development frameworks
    • Subagents – Specialized research agents for code exploration and sandboxed analysis with different tool access levels (enabled with –enable-subagents flag)
    • Bulk Message Approval – Approve multiple tool calls at once for efficient workflow execution
    • Reversible File Operations – All file modifications are automatically backed up with recovery capabilities
  • Adaptive Intelligence:
    • Rule Books – Customize agent behavior with internal standard operating procedures, playbooks, and organizational policies
    • Persistent Knowledge – Agent learns from interactions, remembers incidents, resources, and environment details to adapt to your workflow
