lyon-skills
DevOps & SRE skills for AI coding assistants by Lyon (Grafana Champion).
Skills for Terraform IaC, AWS EKS operations, Grafana LGTM observability, and a curated marketplace catalog — built on the Agent Skills standard.
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|
lyon | Personal DevOps engineering guidelines — Terraform patterns, EKS/Karpenter operations, Grafana LGTM stack, code review standards, and decision-making framework |
skill-manager | Marketplace plugin management — install, update, and curate skills from Grafana, HashiCorp, AWS, and community sources |
Installation
One-shot full setup (recommended for new machines)
Installs every marketplace and plugin in the curated catalog (Tier 1–3 by default):
# From a cloned repo
./scripts/install-all.sh
# Or directly from GitHub without cloning
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yieon-lyon/lyon-skills/master/scripts/install-all.sh | bash
Options:
./scripts/install-all.sh --tier 1 # core workflow only
./scripts/install-all.sh --tier 1,2 # core + IaC
./scripts/install-all.sh --all # include Tier 4 (specialized)
./scripts/install-all.sh --dry-run # preview commands
./scripts/install-all.sh --force # reinstall existing plugins
The script is idempotent — already-added marketplaces and installed plugins are skipped.

What's Inside lyon Skill
- Terraform conventions — multi-account AWS directory structure, S3 backend, symlink module pattern
- EKS operations — Karpenter v1 NodePool/EC2NodeClass templates, cluster upgrade procedure, autoscaling decision matrix
- Observability philosophy — Grafana LGTM-first, OpenTelemetry collection, Datadog integration, CloudWatch alarm patterns
- Code review standards — infrastructure PR checklist (state impact, security, cost, blast radius)
- Decision-making framework — tool selection criteria, problem-solving approach
Validation
./scripts/lint-skills.sh
Checks: frontmatter presence, required fields (name, description), name format, directory match, line count, trigger phrases.
