pulumi-overview

Use this skill for any task that creates, modifies, inspects, or destroys cloud infrastructure or SaaS configuration, from one-off CLI operations to full multi-resource projects, across providers in the Pulumi ecosystem. A typical project spans many providers (AWS or Azure or GCP, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Auth0, Datadog, Vercel, and others), and Pulumi drives them through one CLI, one state model, and one credential layer. Trigger even when the user does not name Pulumi; phrasings like "deploy this app," "provision a database," "stand up a VPC," "configure Auth0," "set up Datadog monitoring," or "tear down staging" qualify. Also trigger for tasks that migrate, port, or convert existing infrastructure code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Bicep, ARM) to Pulumi. Do not trigger for application runtime code that reads or writes data via cloud SDKs; that is application code, not infrastructure.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable body: concrete executable commands, explicit validation and confirmation gates around destructive operations, and clean one-level routing to specialized skills. The only minor weakness is a few trimmable framing sentences.

Suggestions

Tighten the opening preamble ('Pulumi is a tool for creating and managing cloud infrastructure: virtual machines, storage, Kubernetes clusters, databases, anything from any provider.') which restates domain basics Claude already knows.

The Level 1 signup/claim section is long; consider whether the credential-cache troubleshooting detail earns its token cost for the overview or belongs in a referenced skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Information-dense and assumes competence throughout — most prose is non-obvious operational guidance (agent-account provisioning, claim-URL surfacing, OIDC vending) rather than padding — but a few framing sentences and the introductory preamble could be trimmed without loss.

4 / 5

Actionability

Copy-paste-ready `npx pulumi do` commands cover create/read/patch/delete/list, property input via flags and PCL files, and cross-resource wiring with concrete worked examples for the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The three-level model gives a clear decision sequence with explicit validation checkpoints — run `preview` before `up`, check exit codes, get user confirmation before `delete`/`destroy` and use `--yes` only after, surface claim URLs — satisfying the feedback-loop requirement for destructive operations.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files are present, but the body is well-organized into three leveled sections with a one-level-deep routing table to specialized skills, clearly signaled and easy to navigate with no nested references.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, model description: concrete actions, natural trigger phrasings with an explicit anti-trigger, and a clear what/when pair scoped to the Pulumi ecosystem. It uses the standard 'Use this skill...' imperative rather than penalized first/second person voice.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'creates, modifies, inspects, or destroys cloud infrastructure or SaaS configuration' plus 'migrate, port, or convert existing infrastructure code' — giving comprehensive coverage across the Pulumi ecosystem rather than vague abstraction.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (cloud infra/SaaS config lifecycle across providers) and when ('Trigger even when the user does not name Pulumi' plus enumerated phrasings and an explicit 'Do not trigger' boundary), with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes the natural phrases users actually say — 'deploy this app,' 'provision a database,' 'stand up a VPC,' 'configure Auth0,' 'set up Datadog monitoring,' 'tear down staging' — alongside migration source tools, covering synonyms and variations comprehensively.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear Pulumi-infrastructure niche and includes an explicit anti-trigger ('Do not trigger for application runtime code that reads or writes data via cloud SDKs') that minimizes overlap with adjacent skills.
