platform-engineering

platform-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from magnus919/agent-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for building and running internal developer platforms: shared systems that help engineering teams deliver and operate software. It covers infrastructure, automated build and deployment pipelines, containers, networking, secrets, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, service networking, secrets handling, or observability systems.
Why use it?
It helps organise platform work across the infrastructure a development team depends on. It also clarifies which concerns belong to platform engineering and which belong to release management or other specialist areas.

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

platform-engineering 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 6d 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.

Platform Engineering

Core methodology and reference library for platform engineering work. This skill does not execute operations itself — it provides the frameworks, patterns, and reference material that a platform-engineer profile loads on demand.

When to Load

Load this skill when the task involves:

Trigger What's Needed
Design a CI/CD pipeline Pipeline structure, GitOps sync strategies, release automation
Infrastructure as code plan Terraform/OpenTofu module patterns, state management, Pulumi/Ansible patterns
Container orchestration design K8s pod lifecycle, Helm chart conventions, Kustomize overlays, Docker Compose; operating a cluster (manifests, RBAC, workloads, upgrades) routes to kubernetes
Service networking / mesh Traefik/nginx/Caddy config, Tailscale/Headscale ACL, WireGuard, service mesh
Observability strategy Prometheus rules, Grafana dashboards-as-code, Loki logging, tracing; operating the Prometheus/OTel/Loki stack (scrape, rules, retention) routes to telemetry, Grafana product work routes to grafana
Infrastructure execution Terraform/OpenTofu plan/apply workflow, state backends, drift detection, upgrades — route to terraform
PostgreSQL operations Server config review, indexes and query plans, vacuum/bloat, backups/PITR, replication — route to postgres
Secret management design Vault, SOPS, External Secrets Operator patterns
Cloud architecture assessment Multi-cloud patterns, provider foundations, cost governance
Deployment pipeline review Delivery-platform architecture; load release-engineering when defining the release model, promotion gates, rollout, or rollback policy

When not to use

Use release-engineering to define release process, promotion, rollout, or rollback policy. This skill builds and operates the delivery platform that implements those decisions.

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.
