Platform Skills

A production-grade field handbook for platform, DevOps, SRE, and cloud engineers covering Kubernetes, Flux CD, Terraform, GitHub Actions, AWS, OPA/Rego, KEDA, Karpenter, supply chain security, Falco, observability, and more. Use it on GitHub, as a local reference, or with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot for interactive guidance with blast radius, validation steps, and rollback plans built in.

Works With

Tool	What you get
Claude Code	Slash commands (/platform-skills:review, /platform-skills:debug, and 9 more), interactive guidance, automatic activation on relevant files
Codex	Skill invocation with $platform-skills, loaded on demand in any Codex session
Cursor	Project rules for Chat and Agent — platform review and generation in every file context
GitHub Copilot plugin	Interactive slash commands in Copilot Chat — install once per user via copilot plugin install
GitHub Copilot (team)	Chat instructions committed to your repo — available to your whole team without individual installs
GitHub (no AI tool)	Browse references/ and examples/ directly — a standalone field handbook

Why Platform Skills

Platform teams keep rediscovering the same hard lessons: unclear ownership, unsafe IAM, weak Kubernetes defaults, drifting GitOps overlays, CI checks that run too late, and rollback plans that only appear after an incident. Platform Skills turns those lessons into reusable guidance for the tools engineers already use.

Use it when you need a second brain for production platform work:

• Review a Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, Flux, GitHub Actions, or AWS change before it merges
• Generate platform assets with security, observability, validation, and rollback already considered
• Debug incidents with evidence-first troubleshooting instead of guesswork
• Give every developer the same platform engineering baseline in Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot

Install In 60 Seconds

Clone once, then install the integration your team uses:

git clone https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills.git

Use $platform-skills to review this Terraform change for IAM scope, replacement risk, validation, and rollback.

Review this Kubernetes Deployment for production readiness: securityContext, resources, probes, HPA, PDB, and NetworkPolicy.
