What is the Ops Capacity Planning skill?

It is a specialized workflow for Claude Code that guides users through a structured process of analyzing, forecasting, and scaling cloud infrastructure resources.

How does it handle different types of traffic patterns?

The skill categorizes usage into steady, cyclical, spiky, or growing patterns, recommending specific scaling strategies like reserved instances or auto-scaling for each.

When should I use this skill instead of cost optimization?

Use this skill for growth forecasting and resource provisioning. For purely budget-focused analysis without capacity changes, use the ops-cost-optimization skill.

What are the primary outputs of the capacity planning workflow?

The workflow produces a capacity baseline, utilization report, growth model, gap analysis report, and a final actionable capacity plan.

Does this skill support AWS, GCP, or Azure?

The workflow is cloud-agnostic and provides a universal framework, though it includes specific command-line examples for providers like AWS.
