Use this skill for any task that creates, modifies, inspects, or destroys cloud infrastructure or SaaS configuration, from one-off CLI operations to full multi-resource projects, across providers in the Pulumi ecosystem. A typical project spans many providers (AWS or Azure or GCP, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Auth0, Datadog, Vercel, and others), and Pulumi drives them through one CLI, one state model, and one credential layer. Trigger even when the user does not name Pulumi; phrasings like…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pulumi

Pulumi is a tool for creating and managing cloud infrastructure: virtual machines, storage, Kubernetes clusters, databases, anything from any provider. You write code or run CLI commands, Pulumi previews what would change, then applies it. This skill walks three levels of working with Pulumi, from a single CLI command up to a project with policies and scheduled drift. Start at the smallest level that fits the task.

## The three levels

Level 1 is `pulumi do`, a CLI for direct CRUD against any provider, with no project files or programming language. Level 2 is a Pulumi project in Python, TypeScript, Go, C#, or Java, used once the work involves multiple related resources, loops or conditionals, reusable abstractions, or environment-specific variants. Level 3 layers Pulumi Cloud onto a project for ESC credentials and configuration, policy, hosted execution, drift detection, schedules, and audit.

| Level | Surface | When to use |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| 1 | `pulumi do` | Single resource or multi-vendor bootstrapping |
| 2 | Pulumi project (Python, TS, Go, C#, Java) | Multiple resources, abstractions, environments |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pulumi/agent-skills/pulumi-overview@sha256:273d233d7ffc3739

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.681aafe, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
