Cloud, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment (6.8K skills)
Analyze production incidents and recurring errors across services using error reports, logs, and traces. Narrow down causes with targeted investigation, then propose evidence-based fixes, checks, preventive measures, and improvements to observability and error handling.
Create and organize Helm charts to package Kubernetes applications and manage reusable deployment templates. Use it to support multiple environments, prepare charts for distribution, and follow conventions when setting up chart repositories and deployments.
Use this skill to organize production incident response, assess user and business impact, coordinate restoration work, and communicate updates. It also guides observability-based investigation, blameless post-incident reviews, and reliability improvements such as monitoring and runbook updates.
Review cloud spending across AWS, Azure, and GCP and identify practical cost controls. The guidance covers resource sizing, tagging, pricing commitments, storage choices, autoscaling, budget alerts, and ongoing cost monitoring while considering performance and reliability.
Plan and operate databases across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Use the skill to shape database architecture, automate maintenance, monitor performance, manage backups and disaster recovery, and address security, compliance, and cost needs across cloud and container environments.
Troubleshoot production and infrastructure issues by examining logs, metrics, traces, and system state. Get a structured approach to debugging Kubernetes, networks, cloud services, databases, and CI/CD failures, restoring service, documenting findings, and improving monitoring to help prevent recurrence.
Validate application settings against schemas and environment-specific rules, then plan tests for runtime changes and configuration migrations. Use it to catch invalid values, security concerns, or differences between development, staging, and production settings.
Design CI/CD pipelines that move code through build, testing, staging, approval, and production. Get guidance on deployment strategies, security checks, health verification, and rollback planning for safer releases across environments.
Design and automate CI/CD and GitOps release workflows, including progressive delivery, security checks, environment promotion, and rollback planning. The skill helps teams build deployment pipelines with quality gates, monitoring, and operational runbooks across development, staging, and production.
Set up distributed tracing with Jaeger or Tempo to follow requests across microservices. Get guidance on adding OpenTelemetry instrumentation, passing trace context between services, sampling traces, and finding slow or failed operations.
Plan monitoring for database migrations and CDC, a way to capture database changes as they happen. Track progress, errors, and replication lag with Prometheus metrics, anomaly checks, alerts, and Grafana dashboards.
Review cloud spending and resource use across AWS, Azure, and GCP to find waste, estimate savings, and recommend cost controls or architecture changes while considering performance, reliability, risks, and rollback steps.
Use this skill to write safer, more reliable Bash scripts for production automation, CI/CD pipelines, and system utilities. It guides input validation, careful variable and file handling, error traps, logging, and basic tests, helping scripts handle failures and edge cases more predictably.
Plan automation for build, test, and deployment workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions. Get a proposed set of stages, triggers, quality and security checks, required configuration, and rollout or rollback guidance tailored to existing processes.
Plan cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Get guidance on infrastructure as code, architecture patterns, cost reviews, security, migration, and disaster recovery, with practical steps and trade-offs for your workload.
Set up a repeatable process for generating changelogs and release notes from commits, pull requests, and releases. The skill helps choose a format and versioning approach, standardize commit messages or labels, and configure tools to produce and publish notes.
Coordinate release updates across version manifests, changelogs, READMEs, websites, screenshots, and translated materials. The skill follows the project's release rules, checks affected distributions, and records verification results and skipped surfaces.
Set up GitHub Actions workflows to build React Native apps for iOS simulators and Android emulators, upload installable artifacts, and retrieve them by name or ID using the gh CLI or GitHub API.
Use this skill during a changing incident or other time pressured situation. It guides a short cycle of observing signals, considering multiple explanations, choosing a reversible action, and checking the result promptly before deciding what to do next.
Render Quarto slide files as HTML and sync the slides and their related assets into `docs/` for GitHub Pages. It also checks that expected files and interactive content are present before reporting the deployment result.
Creates cloud architecture diagrams for AWS, Azure, or GCP using official provider icons and recognizable network groupings. It can derive a diagram from Terraform code or render one from a JSON description, with editable and image output formats.
Troubleshoot desktop JVM build and release issues involving native libraries, packaging, code signing, memory, deep links, Gradle, and CI. The skill organizes practical failure patterns and verification steps for apps that behave differently across operating systems or CPU architectures.
Review Azure Advisor recommendations and service retirement information, including totals, breakdowns, and affected resources. Update recommendation states with confirmation, and route requests to implement fixes to the separate azure-advisor-actionability skill.
Prepare remediation steps for Azure Advisor recommendations using the affected resource’s details. Guidance comes from the Advisor remediation tool or public Microsoft Learn documentation, with warnings, verification steps, and clear source attribution.
