## The ranking

### 1. firebase-hosting-basics — score 61/100 (verified-org)

Firebase-authored. Init, configure, and one-step deploy to Firebase Hosting / App Hosting.

- Best for: Web apps already in the Google/Firebase ecosystem (Firestore, Auth) that want the agent to handle hosting setup and the deploy step without leaving chat.
- Not ideal for: Static-only sites with no Firebase dependency — a generic static host (Pages, Netlify) is simpler and avoids the Firebase project requirement.
- Publisher: Firebase (Google) · Apache-2.0
- Verified on: claude-code, cursor, codex, gemini-cli, antigravity

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add firebase/agent-skills
```

### 2. azure-resource-visualizer — score 59/100 (verified-org)

Diagrams generated from live infrastructure rather than from a prompt — it reads the actual resource group and draws what is really there.

- Best for: Documenting an Azure estate you inherited, where the useful diagram is the one that matches reality rather than the one in the original design doc.
- Not ideal for: Any cloud that is not Azure, and any diagram of a system that does not exist yet — it reads deployed resources, so there is nothing to read before you deploy.
- Publisher: Microsoft · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code

```bash
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-resource-visualizer
```

### 3. hostinger-agent-skills — score 57/100 (verified-org)

The registrar half of the stack: buy the domain, set the DNS, stand up the site — from one plugin.

- Best for: Registering a domain and pointing its DNS at a site without leaving the terminal, on an account you already own.
- Not ideal for: Anyone not hosting at Hostinger — every endpoint is Hostinger-account-scoped, so it manages your portfolio there and nothing else.
- Publisher: Hostinger · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code, codex

```bash
npx skills add hostinger/hostinger-agent-skills --skill domains --yes
```

### 4. postgres-database-migration — score 55/100 (verified-org)

Zero-downtime Postgres migrations, with the locking behaviour spelled out — which ALTER TABLE takes an AccessExclusiveLock and what to do instead.

- Best for: A schema change on a live table where the failure mode is a lock that takes production down, not a syntax error.
- Not ideal for: Greenfield schemas with no data and no traffic — the whole value here is in the constraints that only exist once a table is live.
- Publisher: TigerData (Timescale) · Apache-2.0
- Verified on: claude-code

```bash
npx skills add timescale/pg-aiguide --skill postgres-database-migration
```

### 5. deploy-checklist — score 51/100 (official-anthropic)

The pre-ship checklist that catches the embarrassing stuff.

- Best for: Shipping a release with migrations, feature flags, or anything that needs a documented rollback path.
- Publisher: Anthropic · MIT
- Verified on: claude-code, cursor, codex, antigravity

```bash
claude plugin install engineering
```

GitGuardian's own secret-detection skill — scans history, images and packages, and ships a written remediation doctrine rather than just a list of hits.

## About this category

The best agent skills for DevOps and infrastructure in 2026 are the cloud-vendor-authored Skills — HashiCorp for Terraform module authoring, the GitHub Actions Skills for CI/CD pipeline design, and the Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare platform Skills for deploy automation — each encoding the canonical pattern for its ecosystem. DevOps & infrastructure Skills handle the long tail of cloud, container, and CI/CD work that engineering teams used to outsource to platform specialists. Terraform module authoring, Kubernetes manifest generation, GitHub Actions workflow design, Docker hardening, AWS / GCP / Azure resource provisioning, secrets-management patterns, blue-green deploys, rollback playbooks — each is a Skill that loads when the work calls for it and stays out of the way otherwise.

These Skills get used the moment a small team can no longer pretend infrastructure is someone else's problem. Common workflows include writing a Terraform module for a new VPC, debugging a failing GitHub Actions pipeline, generating Kubernetes resources for a new service, designing a multi-stage Docker build, automating deploy and rollback flows, and authoring runbooks for on-call. Several pair with cloud MCP servers (Vercel, Netlify, AWS, GCP) for live state.

Platform engineers, SREs, and full-stack developers wearing the DevOps hat use these Skills heavily. Composite scoring weights provenance (HashiCorp, cloud vendors, recognized SRE orgs), real-world install count, and how cleanly the Skill handles the messy parts: state management, secrets, region-specific quirks, and rollback paths.

## Common questions

**Do these Skills replace Terraform Cloud or Pulumi?**

No — they help you author and review IaC, not host the state. They pair with whatever backend you already use (S3+DynamoDB, Terraform Cloud, Pulumi Cloud).

**Which Skills work for Kubernetes?**

Several Skills cover k8s manifests, Helm charts, kustomize overlays, and cluster hardening. The top-ranked k8s Skills include security audits as part of the generation step.

**Can these Skills run kubectl or terraform apply directly?**

They generate and review configs. Whether the agent executes them depends on the agent — Claude Code runs Bash, so yes, with your approval; Claude.ai web does not.

**How do I avoid hard-coded secrets in DevOps Skills?**

The top Skills enforce reading secrets from environment, GitHub Actions secrets, or a vault MCP server — never inline. Lower-ranked Skills often violate this; check the Skill's docs before adoption.

**Are CI/CD Skills cross-platform?**

Most target GitHub Actions; several also support GitLab CI and CircleCI. Filter by tag on the listing page to see verified platforms.
