Claude Skills by ancoleman

Comprehensive Linux system administration for managing servers, deploying applications, and troubleshooting production issues in modern cloud-native environments.

Strategic guidance for designing modern data platforms, covering storage paradigms (data lake, warehouse, lakehouse), modeling approaches (dimensional, normalized, data vault, wide tables), data mesh principles, and medallion architecture patterns. Use when architecting data platforms, choosing between centralized vs decentralized patterns, selecting table formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake), or designing data governance frameworks.

Design secure, scalable cloud network architectures using proven patterns across AWS, GCP, and Azure. This skill provides decision frameworks for VPC design, subnet strategy, zero trust implementation, and hybrid connectivity.

Design and implement comprehensive security architectures that protect systems, data, and users through layered defense strategies, zero trust principles, and risk-based security controls.

Configure host-based firewalls (iptables, nftables, UFW) and cloud security groups (AWS, GCP, Azure) with practical rules for common scenarios like web servers, databases, and bastion hosts. Use when exposing services, hardening servers, or implementing network segmentation with defense-in-depth strategies.

Configure nginx for static sites, reverse proxying, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, caching, and performance tuning. When setting up web servers, application proxies, or load balancers, this skill provides production-ready patterns with modern security best practices for TLS 1.3, rate limiting, and security headers.

Creates comprehensive dashboard and analytics interfaces that combine data visualization, KPI cards, real-time updates, and interactive layouts. Use this skill when building business intelligence dashboards, monitoring systems, executive reports, or any interface that requires multiple coordinated data displays with filters, metrics, and visualizations working together.

Production deployment patterns from Kubernetes to serverless and edge functions. Bridges the gap from application assembly to production infrastructure.

Selecting and implementing AWS services and architectural patterns. Use when designing AWS cloud architectures, choosing compute/storage/database services, implementing serverless or container patterns, or applying AWS Well-Architected Framework principles.

Design and implement Azure cloud architectures following Microsoft's Well-Architected Framework and best practices for service selection, cost optimization, and security.

Build applications and infrastructure using Google Cloud Platform services with appropriate service selection, architecture patterns, and best practices.

Design scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant distributed systems using proven patterns and consistency models.

Designs layout systems and responsive interfaces including grid systems, flexbox patterns, sidebar layouts, and responsive breakpoints. Use when structuring app layouts, building responsive designs, or creating complex page structures.

Design client libraries (SDKs) with excellent developer experience through intuitive APIs, robust error handling, automatic retries, and consistent patterns across programming languages.

Displays chronological events and activity through timelines, activity feeds, Gantt charts, and calendar interfaces. Use when showing historical events, project schedules, social feeds, notifications, audit logs, or time-based data. Provides implementation patterns for vertical/horizontal timelines, interactive visualizations, real-time updates, and responsive designs with accessibility (WCAG/ARIA).

Optimize embedding generation for cost, performance, and quality in RAG and semantic search systems.

Evaluate Large Language Model (LLM) systems using automated metrics, LLM-as-judge patterns, and standardized benchmarks to ensure production quality and safety.

Implements onboarding and help systems including product tours, interactive tutorials, tooltips, checklists, help panels, and progressive disclosure patterns. Use when building first-time experiences, feature discovery, guided walkthroughs, contextual help, setup flows, or user activation features. Provides timing strategies, accessibility patterns (keyboard, screen readers, reduced motion), and metrics for measuring onboarding success.

Distribute traffic across infrastructure using the appropriate load balancing approach, from simple round-robin to global multi-region failover.
