do-compute

do-compute is a skill for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing and configuring computing services on DigitalOcean, a cloud hosting provider. It compares virtual machines, managed app hosting, Kubernetes, serverless functions, and snapshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a runtime, size a Droplet, configure Kubernetes node pools and autoscaling, set up App Platform services, review Functions, plan snapshots, or check compute-related access.
Why use it?
It helps match a workload to an appropriate runtime and avoid choosing capacity or infrastructure that does not fit its needs.

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

do-compute 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 11d 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.

DigitalOcean Compute

When to use

  • Choosing between a Droplet, App Platform, DOKS, or Functions for a new workload.
  • Right-sizing a Droplet family or selecting a Premium AMD / Premium Intel plan.
  • Configuring DOKS node pools, autoscaling, or cluster upgrades.
  • Designing App Platform services with autoscaling and build pipelines.
  • Reviewing snapshot strategies for backup and restore coverage.
  • Auditing the IAM surface attached to compute (PAT scoping, project membership).

Decision tree

  1. Event-driven, short-lived, stateless, irregular load → Functions (Serverless). No infrastructure to manage; billed per invocation.
  2. HTTP service with no Kubernetes investment — managed build pipeline, simple autoscaling → App Platform. Pick Basic for low-traffic, Professional for persistent workers or higher concurrency.
  3. Container fleet with sidecars, custom networking, GitOps, multi-tenant concerns → DOKS. Managed control plane, node pools, integrated load balancer provisioning.
  4. Long-running VM, custom kernel, GPU workload, license-restricted software, database self-hosting → Droplet. Pick family by workload shape (see below).
  5. Burstable dev or very low-traffic staging → Basic Droplet (shared vCPU). Never use shared vCPU for production CPU-sensitive work.

Droplet families

Family When to pick
Basic (shared vCPU) Dev, CI runners, low-traffic staging. Never prod for compute-sensitive paths.
General Purpose Balanced CPU-to-memory ratio; the default for most production web services and APIs.
CPU-Optimized Video encoding, scientific computing, compilation, high-traffic reverse proxies.
Memory-Optimized In-memory caches, real-time analytics, large JVM heaps, self-hosted databases with large working sets.
Storage-Optimized High-IOPS self-hosted databases, time-series, search engines — NVMe-backed local storage.
GPU Machine learning inference and training. Available in selected regions; price per hour is significant — reserve only when actively training.
Premium AMD / Premium Intel Drop-in for General Purpose when you need deterministic single-core performance (e.g. latency-sensitive game servers, high-frequency trading data feeds).

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.

do-compute is a skill published in the GitHub repository jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills (8 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,367 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
