Skills Framework
Each Skill packages a task, its context, permissions and guardrails into a capability every agent can reuse.
A Skill is an AI-native runbook. Skills let Frontier Investigation Agents work the way your team already works.
A Skill is a self-contained, declarative unit. It defines one cloud operation: what triggers it, which tools it uses, what guardrails constrain it and how its output is structured.
Triggers and tools
Natural language patterns activate the Skill. It names the CLI tools, APIs and pre-authenticated connections it needs.
Guardrails built in
Safety constraints limit the scope: read-only, approval gates, no-delete.
Typed output, chained
Structured output that dashboards and other Skills can consume. Chain triggers fire follow-up Skills based on the result.
100+ pre-built Skills across six domains: cost, security, operations, performance, sustainability and reliability.
Detect
An alert fires, a user types a question in Slack, or a schedule triggers. The agent identifies which skill matches.
Execute
The agent activates the skill, uses its defined tools and connections, respects guardrails, and produces structured output.
Act and chain
Results are returned in a typed schema. Chain triggers automatically fire follow-up skills based on conditions.
Turn your runbooks, SOPs and tribal knowledge into reusable Skills. Describe what you need in plain language and CloudThinker handles the rest.

Generate
CloudThinker generates SKILL.md with all components
Ship
Test, refine and deploy. Your Skill is live.
Agents investigate every issue across application, cloud, security, database and Kubernetes, find the why and propose the fix. Your engineers approve, under your policies and audit trail.
