diegosouzapw Build Your Cloud Deployment Skill
Before learning real cloud deployment—provisioning Kubernetes clusters on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and other providers—you'll own a multi-cloud deployment skill.
Step 1: Get the Skills Lab
- Go to github.com/panaversity/claude-code-skills-lab
- Click the green Code button
- Select Download ZIP
- Extract the ZIP file
- Open the extracted folder in your terminal
cd claude-code-skills-lab

Step 2: Create Your Skill
Copy and paste this prompt:
Using your skill creator skill create a new skill for multi-cloud Kubernetes deployment.
I will use it to provision and manage K8s clusters on budget-friendly providers like
DigitalOcean (DOKS) and Hetzner (k3s via hetzner-k3s CLI). The skill should cover:
- DigitalOcean DOKS cluster provisioning with doctl
- Hetzner K3s cluster provisioning with hetzner-k3s CLI
- Multi-cloud portability (provision → connect → deploy pattern)
- Cost comparison and optimization strategies
Use context7 skill to study official documentation for doctl, hetzner-k3s, and kubectl.
Build it from official docs so no self-assumed knowledge.
Claude will:
- Fetch official DigitalOcean and Hetzner documentation via Context7
- Ask you clarifying questions (cluster size, node pools, cost thresholds)
- Create the complete skill with CLI references and deployment templates
Your skill appears at .claude/skills/multi-cloud-deployer/.
Reflect on Your Skill
Your multi-cloud-deployer skill is now ready. Throughout this chapter, you'll:
- Test it against real cloud scenarios (provisioning, connecting, deploying)
- Identify gaps as you learn manual steps
- Improve it by adding provider-specific patterns
After each lesson, return here to verify: Does my skill handle what I just learned?
