zerops-contrib

A Claude Code plugin for Zerops, a PaaS running on bare metal. It bundles two things that are useful together:

• the zerops skill — how the platform actually behaves: zerops.yaml versus the import YAML, the service catalog and version strings, environment variables and cross-service references, networking, CDN and custom domains, the build/deploy lifecycle, autoscaling, backups.
• zops — a CLI generated from the Zerops OpenAPI document. All 228 documented operations are reachable, plus 17 undocumented ones zcli uses internally; 123 have a curated command. --json on everything, meaningful exit codes, no runtime dependencies.

zcli, the official CLI, covers roughly a third of the API — restart, reload, autoscaling, backups, environment writes, routing, rollback and deploy history have no command and the docs send you to the GUI. All of it is in the REST API, so all of it is in zops.

Install

/plugin marketplace add contember/zerops-contrib
/plugin install zerops@zerops-contrib

That is the whole thing. The skill and the CLI arrive together — there is no npm package and no second install step. Bun is the one prerequisite for zops, because the CLI uses Bun.YAML, Bun.spawn and Bun.file, which plain Node has no equivalent for.

Update with /plugin update zerops@zerops-contrib.

Authenticate

export ZEROPS_TOKEN=...    # preferred — nothing written to disk

Tokens come from the Zerops GUI under Settings → Access Token Management. A project-scoped token is enough for everything except project list and project create. zops auth login will persist one to ~/.config/zops/config.json (mode 0600) instead.

Using it

The skill loads on its own whenever a conversation touches Zerops — a zerops.yaml in the repo, a question about service types, an ask to deploy or scale something. To call the CLI directly:

"$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/bin/zops" status

zops status                                   # whole project in one call
zops push api                                 # build on the platform, wait; exit 8 = build failed
zops logs api --build                         # why it failed
zops env set LOG_LEVEL debug api --restart
zops route http get api.example.com           # why a domain does not serve: DNS + TLS state
zops version rollback api --yes
zops apply -f zerops-import.yaml              # converge, rather than create-only import
zops api --list                               # everything else in the API, one call away

zops commands --json prints the whole surface — every command, flag and exit code — so an agent can enumerate it at runtime instead of carrying a copy that goes stale. Full documentation is in cli/README.md and skills/zerops/references/zops-cli.md.

Other ways to install

As a plain skill, without the plugin system — symlink it and lose the update path:

git clone https://github.com/contember/zerops-contrib
ln -s "$PWD/zerops-contrib/skills/zerops" ~/.claude/skills/zerops

As a standalone binary, for shells and CI that have no Bun — checksum-verified, into ~/.local/bin:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/contember/zerops-contrib/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

ZOPS_VERSION pins a tag, ZOPS_BIN_DIR changes the destination. Builds are published for Linux and macOS on x64 and arm64; Windows is absent because the CLI shells out to git and has never been run there. To build one yourself:

cd cli && bun install && bun run build     # dist/zops, self-contained

Layout

.claude-plugin/     plugin + marketplace manifests
skills/zerops/      SKILL.md and references/ — the documentation half
cli/                zops: src/, the OpenAPI document, the operation generator
bin/zops            what the skill calls; resolves Bun and runs cli/ from source
scripts/            sync-docs.sh — regenerate version tables from zeropsio/docs

Development

cd cli
bun install
bun test            # 54 tests
bun run typecheck
bun run generate    # rebuild the operation index after replacing openapi.yml

Releasing is one command. It bumps the three files that carry the version, runs the tests, commits and tags:

scripts/bump.sh patch            # or minor, major, or an exact 0.4.2
scripts/bump.sh minor --push     # ...and push, which starts the release build

Pushing the tag is what publishes: CI cross-compiles Linux and macOS on x64 and arm64, smoke-tests the result and creates the GitHub release. It refuses if the tag disagrees with .claude-plugin/plugin.json — that field is what /plugin update reads.

The service version tables in skills/zerops/references/service-catalog.md are machine-written from zeropsio/docs:

scripts/sync-docs.sh            # regenerate, and report which upstream pages moved
scripts/sync-docs.sh --check    # report only; exits 1 on drift

Prose is never touched — the script only tells you which upstream pages changed so you can review the matching reference by hand.
