Can I use it to debug observability issues?

Absolutely. It contains specific knowledge for debugging Mimir metrics, Loki logs, and Alloy scraping components, including port-forwarding and query formatting.

Does it support GitOps workflows?

Yes, it is designed to work with Giant Swarm's Flux-based GitOps model, helping users locate Kustomizations, manage silences, and avoid destructive actions like force-pushing.

How does this skill handle cluster authentication?

The skill integrates with Teleport via specific workflows (workflow_login-management-cluster) to securely handle access to both Management and Workload clusters.

What is the Giant Swarm Platform SRE skill?

It is a specialized extension for Claude Code designed to help Giant Swarm staff manage complex Kubernetes infrastructure, providing domain-specific guidance on platform architecture and toolsets.

Infraestructura en la Nube

Provides expert domain knowledge for managing, debugging, and operating Giant Swarm's Kubernetes platform and infrastructure.

Acerca de

The Giant Swarm Platform SRE skill equips Claude with specialized operational knowledge for the Giant Swarm ecosystem. It provides deep context on platform architecture, including Management Clusters (MC) and Workload Clusters (WC), while automating complex workflows for authentication via Teleport and observability through Mimir, Loki, and Grafana. By codifying best practices for Cluster API (CAPI), Flux-based GitOps, and the Giant Swarm App Platform, this skill enables SREs to perform non-invasive investigations, manage application lifecycles, and handle infrastructure operations with safety-first guidance.
