Skill request: general OCI infrastructure coverage (VCN, compute, load balancer, storage, IAM, Resource Manager)

Author: surapuramakhilCreated Aug 16, 2026Updated Aug 16, 2026

Context

oci/SKILL.md currently routes to OKE, IoT Platform, Functions, and Enterprise AI — all excellent, deeply maintained domains. However the skill has no coverage for general OCI infrastructure: VCN/subnets/security lists, compute instances, load balancers, block/object storage, IAM policies, and Terraform/Resource Manager stacks.

Use case

Self-managed Kubernetes on OCI compute (e.g. k3s on VMs) with VCN + LB ingress — a common pattern for teams that find OKE node costs don't fit smaller deployments. This workflow needs exactly the missing surfaces: flexible shapes compute, VCN design, load balancer (flexible LB) config, block volume attachment, OCI CLI auth (config-file + instance principal), Resource Manager stacks.

Current workaround

No official skill covers this; community skills are generic checklists (best-practice lists without CLI/Terraform specifics) and stale (7+ months unmaintained).

Request

A general-infra domain in oci/ alongside the existing four — even a routing-only reference pointing to official docs + the most-used oci cli / Terraform provider commands per surface would fill the gap. Happy to contribute a draft structure if useful.
