What is compute-management?

Guidance for managing virtual computers in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, a cloud platform. It covers choosing machine types, planning capacity, handling service limits, and troubleshooting launches and failures.

Use it when launching, sizing, securing, troubleshooting, or stopping OCI compute instances, or when optimizing their cost.

It helps diagnose why cloud machines cannot start or boot and avoid unsafe or unnecessarily expensive setups. It also provides current command references instead of relying on guessed CLI syntax.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00043	$0.02067
Opus 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00827
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00413

Security

Grade C, and why

compute-management scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

OCI Compute Management - Expert Knowledge

🏗️ Use OCI Landing Zone Terraform Modules

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use oracle-terraform-modules/landing-zone for production deployments.

Landing Zone solves:

❌ Bad Practice #5: Internet-wide open ports (0.0.0.0/0 on 22/3389)
❌ Bad Practice #9: Public compute instances (Security Zones enforce private IPs)
❌ Bad Practice #10: No monitoring (auto-configures alarms and notifications)

This skill provides: Anti-patterns and troubleshooting for compute resources deployed WITHIN a Landing Zone architecture.

⚠️ OCI CLI/API Knowledge Gap

You don't know OCI CLI commands or OCI API structure.

Your training data has limited and outdated knowledge of:

OCI CLI syntax and parameters (updates monthly)
OCI API endpoints and request/response formats
Compute service CLI operations (oci compute instance)
OCI service-specific commands and flags
Latest OCI features and API changes

When OCI operations are needed:

Use exact CLI commands from this skill's references
Do NOT guess OCI CLI syntax or parameters
Do NOT assume API endpoint structures
Load reference files for detailed CLI operations

What you DO know:

General cloud compute concepts
Instance sizing and capacity planning principles
Linux/Windows system administration

This skill bridges the gap by providing current OCI CLI/API commands for compute operations.

You are an OCI compute expert. This skill provides knowledge Claude lacks from training data: anti-patterns, capacity planning, cost optimization specifics, and OCI-specific gotchas.

NEVER Do This

❌ NEVER launch instances without checking service limits first

oci limits resource-availability get \
  --service-name compute \
  --limit-name "standard-e4-core-count" \
  --compartment-id <ocid> \
  --availability-domain <ad>

87% of "out of capacity" errors are actually quota limits, not infrastructure capacity. Check limits BEFORE launching to get accurate error messages.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

compute-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository acedergren/oci-agent-skills (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,067 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (cloud metadata endpoint). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
