Cloud & DevOps
Set up Prometheus for comprehensive metric collection, storage, and monitoring of infrastructure and applications. Use when implementing metrics collection, setting up monitoring infrastructure, or configuring alerting systems.
Investigate distributed traces and spans in OpenSearch. Use this skill when the user wants to analyze traces, investigate slow spans, find error spans, track agent invocations, measure token usage, reconstruct trace trees, query service maps, or debug distributed systems through trace data. Activate even if the user says traceId, spanId, OpenTelemetry, OTel, distributed tracing, latency, span duration, service map, or trace investigation without mentioning OpenSearch.

Generate an interactive bash wizard that guides a human through steps only they can perform. Suitable for configuring infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, working with unfamiliar third-party panels, or performing one-off migrations or switches. Do not let the agent perform on its own the steps that a human should complete.

Activates when: - yolo_mode: on in CLAUDE.md - Running /deploy-edge or /apply-migration commands - After git push when auto_deploy: on (automatic detection) - Any mention of "yolo mode", "automate Lovable", "browser automation", "Lovable MCP" Uses Lovable MCP (preferred) or browser automation to submit deployment prompts. Runs verification tests based on configuration. Auto-deploys after git push when enabled.
Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI troubleshooting skill. Use this skill when the user needs to diagnose API call failures using Request ID, error codes, or error messages — via Aliyun CLI `openapiexplorer` plugin commands.

arkcli shared execution protocol: first-time setup entry point, the authentication gate before running business commands, command routing and selection order, and output/security/confirmation rules. Deep details (identity resolution, AK-SK boundaries, API Key recovery, real-name gate, profile defaults and drift, temporary data-plane execution context, version checks and explicit upgrades, global flags, failure triage) are loaded on demand from references/. Triggered when the user uses arkcli for the first time, hits a not-logged-in/auth failure, asks whether the version is the latest or requests an arkcli upgrade, needs to decide between product commands and raw api, or when any arkcli-* skill needs shared context.
Guidance for Azure Key Vault — securely storing and managing secrets, keys, and certificates with RBAC, network isolation, managed identity access, soft delete / purge protection, and rotation. Covers when to use standard Key Vault vs Managed HSM (FIPS 140-3 Level 3), one-vault-per-app blast radius principle, and Key Vault references in App Service / Functions. WHEN: Azure Key Vault, store secrets, manage certificates, encryption keys, secret rotation, Key Vault RBAC, purge protection, soft delete, private endpoint Key Vault, managed identity access secrets, Managed HSM, Key Vault references, BYOK CMK. DO NOT USE for certificate authority design (use pki-design), entra app credentials only (use entra-id), or PaaS networking topology (use azure-network-security-design).
Guidance for Azure Policy — enforcing and auditing governance and security guardrails at scale across Azure with definitions, initiatives, assignments, and remediation tasks. Covers effects (Audit, Deny, Append, Modify, DeployIfNotExists, AuditIfNotExists), management group inheritance, audit-first rollout, parameterised reusable policies, and exclusion discipline. Powers Defender for Cloud regulatory compliance. WHEN: Azure Policy, governance guardrails, enforce compliance, policy initiative, deny resource, audit configuration, remediation task, deployIfNotExists, management group policy, security baseline enforcement, MCSB initiative, regulatory compliance Azure. DO NOT USE for resource RBAC role choice (use azure-role-selector), Defender posture only (use defender-for-cloud-hardening), or Bicep / IaC templating.

WHEN: Azure security pricing, estimate cost, Sentinel cost, Defender for Cloud pricing, pricing calculator, cost drivers, optimize security spend, ingestion cost, licensing vs consumption, budget for security.
Runs integration tests against the Azure SQL Database container (Private Preview, local engine) in CI. Use when setting up GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, or GitLab CI to test against Azure SQL DB; when adding a database service container to a CI workflow; when tests need a real Azure SQL engine in the pipeline; or when you see "service container", "health-cmd", "ACR_USERNAME/ACR_PASSWORD", "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD secret", or "integration test database". Also use when a workflow was about to pull the SQL Server image mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server, in which case stop and use the Azure SQL Database engine image instead. Covers pulling from the private ACR with credentials, the service health check that runs sqlcmd inside the container so the runner needs no client tools, provisioning appdb before tests, and pointing the test connection string at the user database not master.
Proves that code built and tested against the local Azure SQL Database container runs unchanged against Azure SQL Database in the cloud, with only the connection string changing. Use when a user wants to develop locally then deploy to the cloud, asks "will this work in Azure", "same code local and cloud", "promote to Azure SQL", "swap the connection string", "dev/prod parity", "local to cloud", or is wiring SQL_CONNECTION_STRING for an app that must target both the container and a cloud server. Use this when an app uses local SA auth but needs Microsoft Entra auth in the cloud. Covers Node (mssql), .NET (Microsoft.Data.SqlClient), and Python (pyodbc). Reach for this skill before hand-editing app code to "make it work in Azure"; the rule is the code does not change, only the connection string does.
Diagnose Fireworks training and deployment issues, including stuck or failed jobs, error messages, poor quality, checkpoint and resume problems, LoRA adapter load mismatches, and deployments that are ready but not serving. Use for systematic read-only triage before retrying. Use configure for a new or approved retry run; use research when the starting method, data, or cookbook example is unclear.

Checks bulk sender compliance against Google/Yahoo/Microsoft 2024-2026 requirements. Provides DNS records to add/update. Use when user asks to audit, check, or analyze email deliverability, domain health, or inbox placement.
Guidance for Microsoft Entra Permissions Management (CIEM) — discovers, right-sizes, and monitors permissions across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Covers cloud onboarding, the Permission Creep Index (PCI), generating least-privilege policies from observed activity, on-demand permission grants, and workload identity coverage. WHEN: Entra Permissions Management, CIEM, multicloud permissions, Permission Creep Index, PCI, right-size permissions, unused permissions, least privilege across AWS GCP Azure, cloud entitlement management, over-privileged workload identity, IAM right-sizing, multicloud IAM posture. DO NOT USE for Azure-only RBAC role choice (use azure-role-selector) or Defender for Cloud security posture (use defender-for-cloud-hardening).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
