Diagnose, audit, and secure platform infrastructure across Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD, cloud providers, and service mesh with structured troubleshooting, blast radius analysis, validation steps, and rollback plans.
Based on adoption, maintenance, documentation, and repository signals. Not a security audit or endorsement.
Runs through the full Terraform validation pipeline — fmt, validate, tflint, security scan — and reviews a module or plan for blast radius, IAM risk, and state impact.
Structured platform troubleshooting — classifies the problem layer, collects evidence, forms a root-cause hypothesis, and proposes a fix with validation and rollback steps.
Reviews a Kubernetes manifest, Terraform file, GitHub Actions workflow, Helm values, or any platform configuration for correctness, security, and operational safety. Supports bot comment mode for automated PR feedback.
Flux CD and Argo CD — two modes. debug: five structured debug workflows for live clusters (installation, source, HelmRelease, Kustomization, ResourceSet) producing a five-section report. audit: six-phase read-only repo analysis (discovery, validation, API compliance, best practices, security) producing a prioritised Critical/Warning/Info report.
Linkerd-specific diagnostics — mTLS verification, proxy injection issues, authorization policy debugging, traffic management, and multi-cluster connectivity problems.
Runs pre-commands
Contains inline bash commands via ! syntax
Bash prerequisite issue

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.
| 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 |
If this handbook saves you time, give it a star — it helps others find it. Found a gap or a better pattern? Contributions are welcome — open an issue, improve a reference guide, or add an example.
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:
Clone once, then install the integration your team uses:
git clone https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills.git
cd platform-skills
| Tool | Best for | Quick install |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Interactive plugin workflows and slash commands | claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills && claude plugin install platform-skills |
| GitHub Copilot plugin | Copilot Chat — interactive slash commands | copilot plugin marketplace add nitinjain999/platform-skills && copilot plugin install platform-skills@platform-skills |
| Codex | Local skill invocation with $platform-skills | ./install.sh --codex |
| Cursor | Project rules for Chat and Agent | ./install.sh --cursor --target ../your-project |
| GitHub Copilot (team) | Team-wide chat instructions committed to the repo | ./install.sh --copilot --target ../your-project |
| Everything | Local all-agent setup | ./install.sh --all --target ../your-project |

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.
