Cloud-native infrastructure management with Crossplane using Kubernetes APIs. Build internal platform APIs for self-service infrastructure provisioning. Use when implementing infrastructure as code, platform engineering, composite resources, XRDs, compositions, claims, provider configuration, or multi-cloud provisioning. Triggers: crossplane, XRD, composition, claim, provider, managed resource, composite resource, infrastructure API, platform engineering, platform API, infrastructure abstraction, self-service infrastructure, kubernetes infrastructure, cloud control plane.

From the source SKILL.md

Crossplane extends Kubernetes to manage cloud infrastructure using declarative APIs. It enables platform teams to build internal cloud platforms with self-service capabilities.

What this skill does

Crossplane is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/crossplane/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when implementing infrastructure as code, platform engineering, composite resources, XRDs, compositions, claims, provider configuration, or multi-cloud provisioning. Triggers: crossplane, XRD, composition, claim, provider, managed resource, composite resource, infrastructure API, platform engineering, platform API, infrastructure abstraction, self-service infrastructure, kubernetes infrastructure, cloud control plane.

Who uses this skill

The Crossplane Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 116,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Crossplane skill?
Use Crossplane when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Crossplane" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Crossplane skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Crossplane is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
