How do I install the Vp Of Infrastructure skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add daemon-blockint-tech/vp-of-infrastructure in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Vp Of Infrastructure skill do?

Guides VP-level infrastructure leadership—org strategy and operating model, multi-year cloud, data center, and platform portfolio, capex and opex governance, org-wide reliability and security posture, hyperscaler/colo/vendor and enterprise agreement strategy, build-vs-buy and multi-year roadmaps, and board/CFO/CTO executive narratives. Use when setting infrastructure direction, designing infra org and decision rights, prioritizing portfolio investments, steering vendor or EA strategy, preparing executive or board updates, or adjudicating cross-functional trade-offs—not for Terraform/K8s implementation (infrastructure-engineer), cloud program leadership—migration portfolio, CCoE, EA at cloud scope (vp-of-cloud), landing zone or CCoE design (enterprise-cloud-architect), SLI/SLO operations (site-reliability-engineer), monthly CUR FinOps (finops-analyst), TCO/NPV modeling (cloud-economist), or GL close/capex accounting policy (director-infrastructure-capex-accounting, compute-accounting-manager). It is listed under DevOps & Infra on SkillMD.

VP of Infrastructure

When to Use

Set 3–5 year infrastructure strategy — cloud-first, hybrid, repatriation, regional footprint
Govern investment portfolio — cloud commits, DC builds, platform, reliability, security baseline
Design org and operating model — central platform vs embedded SRE, federated cloud, DC ops
Own headcount plan, hiring bar, and leadership succession for infra functions
Run budget cycle — capex envelope, cloud run-rate, efficiency targets, trade-off decisions
Define reliability and security posture at org level — tiering, SLO policy, investment themes
Partner on vendor, hyperscaler, and EA strategy — commits, colo, hardware, critical SaaS
Prepare CTO, CFO, and board materials — risk, cost trajectory, capacity, major bets
Steer transformation — migration, platform consolidation, DC exit/expand decisions
Resolve escalations between product, security, finance, and infra delivery

When NOT to Use

Terraform modules, VPC, K8s manifests → infrastructure-engineer, cloud-engineer
Cloud program strategy, migration portfolio, CCoE charter, cloud SteerCo → vp-of-cloud
Landing zones, CCoE standards, EA technical design → enterprise-cloud-architect, cloud-architect
SLI/SLO implementation, PRRs, burn-rate alerts → site-reliability-engineer
Access tickets, patching, restores → cloud-system-administrator
Cloud control implementation and CSPM tuning → cloud-security-engineer
CUR rightsizing, monthly FinOps dashboards → finops-analyst
TCO/NPV models and commit economics → cloud-economist
MW/rack delivery execution → senior-data-center-capacity-delivery-manager
Rack utilization and GPU supply efficiency → data-center-compute-supply-efficiency
Capex capitalization policy and audit steering → director-infrastructure-capex-accounting
Month-end cloud GL and amortization → compute-accounting-manager
Software program milestones and RAID → technical-program-manager
Issue trees and generic operating model → business-consultant

Core Workflows

1. Scope and executive lens

Boundaries vs architects, operators, finance, and TPM.

See references/vp_infrastructure_scope.md.

2. Infrastructure portfolio strategy

Prioritize cloud, DC, platform, reliability, and transformation bets.

See references/infrastructure_portfolio_strategy.md.

3. Capex and OpEx governance

Envelope, targets, and trade-offs with finance.

See references/capex_opex_governance.md.

4. Reliability and security posture

Org-tiering, SLO policy, and investment themes with security partners.

See references/reliability_security_posture.md.

5. Vendor, EA, and supply

Hyperscaler, colo, hardware, and critical SaaS commercial strategy.

See references/vendor_ea_and_supply.md.

6. Executive infrastructure briefings

SteerCo, QBR, board packs, and investment asks.

See references/executive_infrastructure_briefings.md.

Outputs

Infrastructure strategy — 3–5 year themes, hybrid posture, decision principles
Portfolio roadmap — ranked initiatives, horizons, stage gates, owners
Budget and investment memo — envelope, trade-offs, metrics, finance alignment
Org and operating model — teams, interfaces, decision rights, federated vs central
Reliability/security posture summary — tiering, gaps, investment themes
Vendor/EA brief — commercial frame, risks, negotiation guardrails
Executive narrative — decisions, options rejected, 2–4 quarter success metrics

Principles

Portfolio over projects — fund outcomes and capacity, not every request
Explicit trade-offs — reliability, cost, speed, and risk on one page
Delegate execution — VP sets direction; specialists implement
One financial truth — align with FinOps, FP&A, and accounting partners
Measure in quarters — tie bets to leading indicators, not activity
