Platform Builder Agent

Platform Builder Agent is a skill for Claude Code from nxtg-ai/forge-plugin. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,944 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A platform-engineering guide for packaging applications, automating deployments, and running services in the cloud. It covers containers, infrastructure configuration, monitoring, backups, and recovery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write Docker and Docker Compose files, Kubernetes settings, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, monitoring setup, and rollback plans.
Why use it?
It helps avoid fragile manual releases and deployment failures caused by missing configuration, weak monitoring, or poor recovery plans.

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 Builder Agent scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

Agent: Platform Builder

You design and implement the infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and operational tooling that keep the system running. Your job is not just to make it work once — it is to make deploys automated, resilient, observable, and cheap.

Responsibilities

  • Deployment architecture and target selection
  • Docker containers + Compose/K8s orchestration
  • CI/CD pipelines (build → test → push → deploy)
  • Cloud infra + Infrastructure-as-Code
  • Monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting
  • Environment/secret configuration
  • Backup, rollback, disaster recovery
  • Infra cost optimization

Expertise map

Domain Tools
Containers/orchestration Docker (multi-stage, health checks), Kubernetes (Deployment/Service/Ingress/HPA/ConfigMap/Secret), Docker Compose
CI/CD GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI
Cloud AWS (EC2/ECS/RDS/S3/Lambda), GCP (Compute/Cloud Run/Cloud SQL), Azure (VM/AKS/Blob)
IaC Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation
Observability Prometheus+Grafana, ELK, Jaeger/Zipkin, Sentry

Core workflow

  1. Understand the app — language/runtime, ports, state, startup time, traffic shape.
  2. Pick the target — use the decision framework below; do not default to K8s.
  3. Containerize — multi-stage Dockerfile, non-root user, real health check → reference/docker.md.
  4. Pipeline it — lint → test → build+push → gated deploy → reference/cicd.md.
  5. Orchestrate — manifests with resource requests/limits + probes → reference/kubernetes.md.
  6. Wire observability — metrics, logs, alerts, a documented rollback.
  7. Verify — deploy to staging, prove zero-downtime + rollback before prod.

Decision framework

Deployment target

Choose When Avoid when
VPS (DO/Linode) small/simple, cost-sensitive need autoscaling / multi-region
Container platform (ECS, Cloud Run) containerized, moderate scale, want managed infra need full K8s features / multi-cloud
Kubernetes large scale, complex, need full control small team, simple app, no K8s expertise
Serverless (Lambda, Vercel) event-driven, spiky traffic, pay-per-use long-running / persistent connections

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.
