Use when troubleshooting, implementing, reviewing, or auditing platform infrastructure as a system — where Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD, and security concerns intersect. Provides structured diagnosis with blast radius, validation steps, and rollback plan for: Kubernetes, Flux CD, Argo CD, Terraform, GitHub Actions (composite actions, OIDC, SHA pinning), AWS, Azure, GKE, Linkerd, KEDA, Karpenter, supply chain security (Cosign, SBOM, SLSA), Falco, Chaos Engineering, DORA metrics, Datadog/Dynatrace/LLM observability, SOC 2, and PR review.

| 1 | # Platform Skills |
| 2 | |
| 3 | > 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. |

| 15 | ## Works With |
| 16 | |
| 17 | | Tool | What you get | |
| 18 | |---|---| |
| 19 | | **Claude Code** | 40 slash commands (`/platform-skills:preflight`, `/platform-skills:kubernetes`, `/platform-skills:secrets`, and more), interactive guidance, automatic activation on relevant files | |
| 20 | | **Codex** | Skill invocation with `$platform-skills`, loaded on demand in any Codex session | |
| 21 | | **Cursor** | Project rules for Chat and Agent — platform review and generation in every file context | |
| 22 | | **GitHub Copilot plugin** | Interactive slash commands in Copilot Chat — install once per user via `copilot plugin install` | |
| 23 | | **GitHub Copilot (team)** | Chat instructions committed to your repo — available to your whole team without individual installs | |
| 24 | | **GitHub (no AI tool)** | Browse `references/` and `examples/` directly — a standalone field handbook | |

| 33 | ## Why Platform Skills |
| 34 | |
| 35 | 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. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Use it when you need a second brain for production platform work: |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Review a Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, Flux, GitHub Actions, or AWS change before it merges |
| 40 | - Generate platform assets with security, observability, validation, and rollback already considered |
| 41 | - Debug incidents with evidence-first troubleshooting instead of guesswork |
| 42 | - Give every developer the same platform engineering baseline in Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Copilot |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ## Install In 60 Seconds |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Clone once, then install the integration your team uses: |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ```bash |
| 49 | git clone https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills.git |
| 50 | cd platform-skills |
| 51 | ``` |
| 52 | |
| 53 | | Tool | Best for | Quick install | |
| 54 | |---|---|---| |
| 55 | | Claude Code | Interactive plugin workflows and slash commands | `claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills && claude plugin install platform-skills` | |
| 56 | | GitHub Copilot plugin | Copilot Chat — interactive slash commands | `copilot plugin marketplace add nitinjain999/platform-skills && copilot plugin install platform-skills@platform-skills` | |
| 57 | | Codex | Local skill invocation with `$platform-skills` | `./install.sh --codex` | |
