Collecting Infrastructure Metrics
This skill enables Claude to collect comprehensive infrastructure performance metrics across compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, and databases. It is triggered when the user requests "collect infrastructure metrics", "monitor server performance", "set up performance dashboards", or needs to analyze system resource utilization. The skill configures metrics collection, sets up aggregation, and helps create infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring and capacity tracking. It supports configuration for Prometheus, Datadog, and CloudWatch.

name: Collecting Infrastructure Metrics description: | This skill enables Claude to collect comprehensive infrastructure performance metrics across compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, and databases. It is triggered when the user requests "collect infrastructure metrics", "monitor server performance", "set up performance dashboards", or needs to analyze system resource utilization. The skill configures metrics collection, sets up aggregation, and helps create infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring and capacity tracking. It supports configuration for Prometheus, Datadog, and CloudWatch.
Overview
This skill automates the process of setting up infrastructure metrics collection. It identifies key performance indicators (KPIs) across various infrastructure layers, configures agents to collect these metrics, and assists in setting up central aggregation and visualization.
How It Works
- Identify Infrastructure Layers: Determines the infrastructure layers to monitor (compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, databases).
- Configure Metrics Collection: Sets up agents (Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch) to collect metrics from the identified layers.
- Aggregate Metrics: Configures central aggregation of the collected metrics for analysis and visualization.
- Create Dashboards: Generates infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring, performance analysis, and capacity tracking.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Monitor the performance of your infrastructure.
- Identify bottlenecks in your system.
- Set up dashboards for real-time monitoring.
Examples
Example 1: Setting up basic monitoring
User request: "Collect infrastructure metrics for my web server."
The skill will:
- Identify compute, storage, and network layers relevant to the web server.
- Configure Prometheus to collect CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network bandwidth metrics.
Example 2: Troubleshooting database performance
User request: "I'm seeing slow database queries. Can you help me monitor the database performance?"
The skill will:
- Identify the database layer and relevant metrics such as connection pool usage, replication lag, and cache hit rates.
- Configure Datadog to collect these metrics and create a dashboard to visualize performance trends.
Best Practices
- Agent Selection: Choose the appropriate agent (Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch) based on your existing infrastructure and monitoring tools.
- Metric Granularity: Balance the granularity of metrics collection with the storage and processing overhead. Collect only the essential metrics for your use case.
- Alerting: Configure alerts based on thresholds for key metrics to proactively identify and address performance issues.
Integration
This skill can be integrated with other Claude Code plugins for deployment, configuration management, and alerting to provide a comprehensive infrastructure management solution. For example, it can be used with a deployment plugin to automatically configure metrics collection after deploying new infrastructure.

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
