01
Manual
Invoke a skill on-demand from chat or the UI when you want the agent to run a specific playbook.
Skills & Automation
Encode Your Best Engineer's Instincts
Skills are reusable playbooks Hyground can run, manual, scheduled, or event-driven.
What is a skill?
A repeatable, version-controlled operation Hyground can run for you, anytime you choose, on a schedule, or in response to an event.
Three ways to trigger a skill
02
Scheduled
Run skills on a cadence, morning health checks, weekly summaries, pre-release validation before every deploy.
03
Event-driven
Trigger skills automatically from alerts, CI events, or upstream incidents. No human required to start them.
Built-in skills, ready to run
Production-ready skills that execute immediately against your existing data sources and connected systems.
Incident Investigation
Autonomous root cause analysis across logs, metrics, alerts, and deployment history.
Morning Health Check
Daily pulse on every cluster and critical workload before your team logs in.
Pre-Release Validation
Automated gate that catches regressions in the minutes before a deploy ships.
Security Audit
Scans for misconfigurations, missing policies, and known CVE exposure across clusters.
Capacity Assessment
Answers: do we have headroom for next quarter's growth? In minutes, not days.
Post-Incident Report
Drafts the RCA, including timeline and contributing factors, ready for human review.
On-Call Handover Brief
Summarises open incidents, recent anomalies, and watch items for the incoming on-call.
FMEA Analysis
Systematic failure-mode review across a service, surfacing high-risk paths to mitigate.
Weekly Ops Summary
Digest of reliability trends, MTTR, deploy velocity, and top incident contributors.
Write your own skills
Skills are declarative and version-controlled. Start from a template or write from scratch.
# Pre-Deploy Checklist skill
checks:
- name: No active P0 incidents
query: incidents(status="open", severity="P0")
expect: empty
- name: Error budget > 10%
query: slo("checkout").remaining_budget
expect: "> 0.10"
- name: Capacity headroom
query: cluster("prod-eu").cpu_headroom
expect: "> 0.20"
Skills compound over time
Each skill you write is leverage for the whole team. New engineers inherit your best engineer's instincts from day one. The library grows. The platform gets sharper.
