What This Skill Does
Manages DigitalOcean infrastructure programmatically through the API. Covers Droplets, DNS zones and records, Spaces object storage, Databases, Firewalls, Load Balancers, and Kubernetes. Includes account and billing queries.
Automates repetitive infrastructure tasks from the command line instead of clicking through the DigitalOcean control panel.
When to use it
- Spinning up a new Ubuntu droplet for a side project
- Updating DNS A records after a server migration
- Taking a snapshot before a risky deployment
- Adding firewall rules to restrict droplet access
- Checking current account balance and billing history
