Is the Platform Skills skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from nitinjain999/platform-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

How do I install Platform Skills?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Platform Skills with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 594d1b6

Copying skills/platform-skills exactly as plugin.json designates it gets you a 19KB router SKILL.md and zero of the 59 references/*.md files or 38 slash commands it repeatedly points to (they live at the repo root, only reachable via `claude plugin install`, not a skill-folder copy) — a manual A/B on a CrashLoopBackOff pod showed the skill's own body offers no crashloop-specific playbook once those references are stripped away, and its 'design work' response template actually bloats a live-incident answer without adding fix specifics.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 4/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 4/10
Docs & honesty 3/5

What Platform Skills does

A large platform-engineering skill covering Kubernetes, Flux/Argo CD, Terraform, GitHub Actions, AWS/Azure, Karpenter, KEDA, supply-chain security and more, meant to trigger whenever infrastructure, GitOps or CI/CD work intersects with security. It ships as a Claude Code plugin: the packaged skill folder is only a router table, and the real depth (references/*.md, 38 slash commands) lives at the repo root, reachable only through `claude plugin install`, not a plain skill-folder copy.

How to install Platform Skills

git clone https://github.com/nitinjain999/platform-skills
cd platform-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/platform-skills ~/.claude/skills/platform-skills

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Platform Skills
