Overview
The open-source community registry of AI skills for cloud engineering. Browse, install, and contribute skills that run on CloudThinker . CloudSkills is the open-source registry powering the Skills Hub on CloudThinker. Each skill is a SKILL.md file — a structured instruction set that tells AI agents how to execute a specific cloud engineering task. Skills are composable, guardrailed, and ready to deploy. They encode tribal knowledge — runbooks, SOPs, and expert workflows — into reusable AI instructions that run autonomously with human approval gates where needed. Skills that operate on your connected cloud infrastructure and services. Reusable workflow templates for common cloud engineering processes. Visit cloudthinker.io/skills, find a skill, and click . The skill is copied directly into your workspace — no GitHub dependency at runtime. Copy a SKILL.md into your project's skills directory: Every skill is a single SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:

Installing a Skill
One-click via CloudThinker
Visit cloudthinker.io/skills, find a skill, and click Install. The skill is copied directly into your workspace — no GitHub dependency at runtime.
Manually
Copy a SKILL.md into your project’s skills directory:
mkdir -p .claude/skills/aws
curl -o .claude/skills/aws/SKILL.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudthinker-ai/CloudSkills/main/skills/connections/aws/SKILL.md
Skill Format
Every skill is a single SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill
description: |
What this skill does and when to invoke it.
connection_type: aws # optional — required connection
---
# My Skill
Step-by-step instructions for the AI agent...
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
name |
Yes | Kebab-case identifier matching the directory name |
description |
Yes | Purpose and context for when to use this skill |
connection_type |
— | Required cloud connection (e.g. aws, k8s, github) |
Connection skills (skills/connections/) integrate with specific tools and services via API keys, CLI tools, or OAuth connections.
Template skills (skills/templates/) provide structured workflows, checklists, and runbooks that guide agents through multi-step processes.
See SPEC.md for the full specification.
