Task skills

cost-optimizer

Use when quarterly cloud bills need review or a cost-cut mandate lands. Ingests AWS Cost Explorer exports, Azure Cost Management data, or GCP Billing exports and returns a ranked list of idle resources, over-provisioned instances, unused reservations, and data-transfer waste with estimated monthly savings.

safe

deploy

Use when rolling out a new version of a service to staging or production. Runs tests, builds and pushes a container, performs a blue/green or canary rollout with health gates, and rolls back automatically on SLO breach.

helm-charts

Use when a Kubernetes application needs a new Helm chart or a substantial revision to an existing one. Scaffolds Chart.yaml, values.yaml with sensible defaults, and templates for Deployment, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap, and HPA, then validates with helm lint and helm diff against the live cluster.

iac-generator

Use when provisioning or modifying cloud infrastructure as code. Generates Terraform (HCL), Bicep, or Pulumi code for common resources (AKS/EKS, RDS, S3, VNet/VPC, IAM) with remote state, encryption, and least-privilege defaults.

incident-response

Use when an alert fires, a customer reports an outage, or a deploy goes sideways. Guides triage across logs (kubectl, CloudWatch, Loki), identifies the failing component, confirms blast radius, drives Slack status updates, and produces a blameless postmortem.

writes-shared

pipeline-builder

Use when a repository needs a new CI/CD pipeline or a major revision to an existing one. Generates GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI YAML tailored to the project stack (Node, Python, Go, container) with matrix builds, caching, artifact publishing, and environment-gated deploys.

Workflow orchestrators

Orchestrators chain the task skills above into an end-to-end flow. Invoke them the same way as any other skill — they declare chains: in frontmatter, which means tooling can pass artifacts between steps automatically.

release-to-prod orchestrator

Use when a merged PR needs to be shipped to production end-to-end. Chains CI verification, canary deploy, SLO-driven auto-rollback, and changelog generation into a single auditable release run.
