1Eks Best PracticesThis skill provides advisory guidance for Amazon EKS architecture and configuration decisions across compute, networking, security, reliability, cost, autoscaling, observability, and upgrades. A developer uses it when making an EKS planning or architectural judgment call, or when working with the terraform-aws-eks module. It consolidates the AWS EKS best-practices guides into decision tables and DO/DON'T lists.6installs2Eks DesignThis skill generates architecture design documents for production EKS deployments, translating requirements into tailored designs with Mermaid diagrams, ADRs, and security architecture. A developer uses it to design or validate a cluster before implementation. Output is structured for direct handoff to the eks-build skill and deliberately excludes implementation code.6installs3Eks Operation ReviewThis skill runs a structured operational excellence assessment against a live EKS cluster across 10 areas including networking, autoscaling, observability, access and identity, and cluster lifecycle. It produces a GREEN/AMBER/RED rated report with prioritized recommendations. A developer uses it to audit, review, or health-check a cluster's operational posture.6installs4Eks Platform EngineeringThis skill guides designing and building an Internal Developer Platform on Amazon EKS so application teams can self-serve. It teaches one opinionated, integration-tested golden-path stack end to end, spanning developer portal, GitOps delivery, progressive delivery, promotion, infrastructure abstraction, SSO, and DORA metrics. A developer uses it when standing up developer self-service and golden paths on EKS.6installs5Eks ReconThis skill performs read-only reconnaissance of an EKS cluster environment. It detects the compute strategy (Karpenter, MNG, Auto Mode, Fargate), IaC tooling, CI/CD pipelines, addon inventory, networking, security posture, and observability. A developer runs it to gather cluster context before planning an upgrade, migration, or any EKS decision.6installs6Eks Upgrade CheckThis skill assesses whether a live EKS cluster is safe to upgrade to a new Kubernetes version. It runs automated checks across 8 areas including breaking changes, deprecated APIs, add-on compatibility, and node readiness, then calculates a 0-100 readiness score with a hard-blocker override. It produces a report with prioritized remediation and pre-filled AWS CLI commands.6installs7Eks BuildThis skill generates complete, production-ready EKS infrastructure as Terraform, optionally with ArgoCD GitOps. A developer uses it to scaffold an EKS project from requirements, including validated modules, two-phase webhook ordering, IRSA or Pod Identity, and 29+ addon configurations. It supports three deployment patterns and handles air-gapped, proxy, and compliance constraints.5installs8Eks Mcp ServerThis skill helps a developer install, configure, and troubleshoot the EKS MCP Server connection in an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Amazon Q CLI, or Cursor. It covers config file placement, IAM permissions, uvx installation, and choosing between AWS-hosted and self-hosted modes. It is scoped to setup only and hands off to the EKS MCP tools once working.4installs9Skill Creatorskill-creator is a meta-skill for building new Claude skills and iteratively improving existing ones. A developer uses it to capture intent, draft a SKILL.md, write test prompts, run evals, and rewrite the skill based on quantitative and qualitative results. It also runs a separate description-improver script to optimize how reliably the skill triggers.4installs10Steering Workflow Creatorsteering-workflow-creator is a meta-skill for authoring steering workflows, the phased playbooks an agent reads top to bottom to run a structured AWS engagement like a design review or upgrade. A developer uses it to capture intent, fill a routing table, draft phases with STOP gates, wire tool routing, and lint the result before handoff. It also pairs each workflow with a matching slash-command shim.4installs11Terraform Skillterraform-skill is a diagnose-first skill for writing, reviewing, and debugging Terraform and OpenTofu modules, tests, CI, scans, and state operations. It classifies the failure mode first, loads only the matching reference file, then proposes a fix with risk controls, a validation plan, and rollback notes. It guards destructive changes by requiring a reviewed plan and never running destroy without a plan-destroy preview.4installs12Update Docsupdate-docs audits and updates every documentation surface in the APEX repo after a change to a skill, steering workflow, README marker table, or Docusaurus site. It detects the change set from git, re-runs script-managed surfaces when their --check fails, and reasons through tracked prose markdown to catch stale references. It reports results as a PASS/STALE table and asks before writing user-facing prose.4installs
