app-platform-networking

app-platform-networking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from digitalocean-labs/do-app-platform-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,356 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A networking guide for DigitalOcean App Platform, the service that runs deployed applications. It covers domains, traffic routing, browser access between services, private networks, fixed outbound addresses, and service communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect custom domains, route paths or subdomains, configure CORS, secure database access with a private network, and set a fixed outbound IP.
Why use it?
It helps avoid misrouted traffic, blocked browser requests, and insecure or unreachable database connections.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

app-platform-networking scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

App Platform Networking Skill

Configure domains, routing, CORS, VPC, static IPs, and inter-service communication.

Quick Decision

What networking do you need?
├── Custom domain?
│   └── YES → See domains-dns.md
│
├── Multiple services on one domain?
│   ├── Different paths (/api, /app) → Path-based routing
│   └── Different subdomains (api.*, app.*) → Subdomain routing
│
├── Frontend calling API across origins?
│   └── YES → CORS configuration
│
├── Secure database connectivity?
│   └── YES → VPC + trusted sources
│
└── Need static outbound IP?
    └── YES → Dedicated egress

When to Use

Scenario Need This Skill
Starter domain only No
Custom domain Yes
Multiple services, different paths Yes
Multiple subdomains Yes
Cross-subdomain API calls (CORS) Yes
Secure database access via VPC Yes
Firewall allowlisting (egress IP) Yes

Quick Reference

Feature App Spec Field Example
Custom domain domains[].domain example.com
Wildcard domains[].wildcard true
Path routing ingress.rules[].match.path.prefix /api
Subdomain routing ingress.rules[].match.authority.exact api.example.com
CORS ingress.rules[].cors See reference
VPC vpc.id UUID
Dedicated egress egress.type DEDICATED_IP

Path-Based Routing (Quick Start)

ingress:
  rules:
    - component: { name: api }
      match: { path: { prefix: /api } }

    - component: { name: frontend }
      match: { path: { prefix: / } }

Rule order matters: Specific rules first.

Full guide: See ingress-routing.md


Subdomain Routing (Quick Start)

domains:
  - domain: example.com
    type: PRIMARY
    wildcard: true
    zone: example.com

ingress:
  rules:
    - component: { name: api }
      match:
        authority: { exact: api.example.com }
        path: { prefix: / }

    - component: { name: app }
      match:
        authority: { exact: app.example.com }
        path: { prefix: / }

What ships with it

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.
