## Overview

DigitalOcean provides cloud services for compute, storage, networking, and managed databases, plus monitoring and team management. Use the Control Panel, doctl CLI, REST API, or Terraform for provisioning and operations.

## Platform Entry Points

- **Control Panel**: Use the web UI for interactive provisioning and monitoring.
- **doctl CLI**: Automate resource creation and lifecycle management.
- **REST API**: Integrate provisioning into internal tooling.
- **Terraform**: Manage infrastructure as code.

## Account and Access Setup

- Create a team and configure billing and access.
- Enable account security settings (2FA and secure sign-in).
- Add SSH keys for Droplet access.
- Create API tokens for automation and CI/CD.

## Project Organization

- Use Projects to group resources by application, environment, or team.
- Standardize naming to simplify search and ownership.

## DigitalOcean Skill Map

Use these skills for deeper coverage (if deployed):

- **digitalocean-compute**: Droplets, App Platform, Functions, Kubernetes, GPU.
- **digitalocean-agentic-cloud**: Gradient AI agentic cloud and AI platform.
- **digitalocean-storage**: Spaces, Volumes, NFS, Snapshots, Backups.
- **digitalocean-containers-images**: Container Registry, custom images, image lifecycle.
- **digitalocean-managed-databases**: Managed Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, OpenSearch, Valkey.
- **digitalocean-networking**: VPC, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, reserved IPs.
- **digitalocean-management**: Monitoring, uptime checks, projects.
- **digitalocean-teams**: Teams, organizations, roles, access controls.

## Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

- **kubernetes**: Cluster operations and troubleshooting patterns.
- **docker**: Container build and runtime fundamentals.
- **terraform**: Infrastructure as code workflows.

*Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.*

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.

resend-cli

Included

Use this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
