What cloud providers does this skill support?

The skill includes specific, deep investigation patterns for AWS (VPC, RDS, IAM, Redshift), Azure (Resource Groups, NSGs), and Kubernetes (kOps and EKS).

Does this skill make changes to my infrastructure?

No, this skill is strictly for investigation and documentation. it analyzes your current configurations to help you understand the 'why' and 'how' of your setup.

What is the difference between 'What exists' and 'Inferred' content?

The skill follows a core principle of separating evidence from hypothesis. It documents factual resource data separately from the inferred intent, which is explicitly labeled as '(inferred)'.

How does it help with company mergers?

It identifies 'merge artifacts' such as duplicate resources serving the same purpose, overlapping CIDR ranges, and redundant IAM trust relationships from defunct accounts.

Investigates, interprets, and documents legacy cloud infrastructure and complex environment configurations to uncover intent and technical debt.

Infrastructure Archaeology is a specialized skill designed to help engineers navigate the 'unknown unknowns' of inherited systems. It provides a systematic framework for reverse-engineering infrastructure decisions across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes—particularly in complex scenarios like company mergers or legacy kOps migrations. By mapping resources, analyzing naming patterns, and correlating historical logs, it transforms sparse configurations into structured documentation (infra-docs) and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), ensuring that tribal knowledge is captured and technical debt is clearly flagged for future action.
