 Cloud Coverage

Every cloud has deep, provider-specific skills with inline assessment questions and validation checklists -- not generic templates with names swapped.

Major Cloud Providers

| Provider | Skills | Highlights | | --- | ---: | --- | | GCP | 51 | AlloyDB AI, Anthos, Cloud Run, GKE, WAF (50+ questions) | | AWS | 47 | WAF pillars, Bedrock security, Cost Explorer, IAM | | Alibaba | 43 | ACK, AnalyticDB, China compliance, ActionTrail | | Huawei | 43 | GaussDB HA, CCE, Cloud Eye, CBR backup | | OCI | 41 | Autonomous DB, Cloud Guard, Full Stack DR | | Azure | 36 | AI Foundry, AKS, App Service, Entra ID, WAF |

Infrastructure & Governance

 Skill Anatomy

Every skill follows a consistent, agent-optimized structure with least-privilege tool scoping:

skills/<provider>/<skill-id>/
  SKILL.md            # YAML frontmatter + workflow + assessment questions + checklist
  metadata.json       # Schema-validated: id, version, harnesses, official_docs
  references/         # Safety checklists, official sources, extended guidance

Frontmatter declares tool scope

---
name: techtide-aws-waf-reliability-review
description: "Review AWS workload reliability..."
allowed-tools: Read Grep Glob
metadata:
  author: "github: TechTide"
  version: "0.1.0"
  category: resilience
---

No Write. No Bash. No network. Least-privilege by default.

Inline assessment questions + checklists

## Assessment Question Bank
### Compute and Autoscaling
1. Are all stateless tiers behind autoscaling?
2. Is scale-in protection set for in-flight?

## Validation Checklist
- [ ] Multi-AZ for all production compute
- [ ] Autoscaling configured for stateless
- [ ] Backup restore tested in last 30 days
- [ ] Circuit breakers on external calls

 Contributing

Contributions should be evidence-backed, source-grounded, and safe by default.

1. Read CONTRIBUTING.md
2. Run npm run validate before opening a PR
3. Every skill needs: SKILL.md with frontmatter, metadata.json matching schema, and official doc references

Report vulnerabilities through SECURITY.md. Do not open public issues containing exploit details, real credentials, customer data, or internal system identifiers.
