Agentic Stacks

Installable skill packs that give AI agents deep domain expertise. A stack is a git repo that teaches an agent how to operate in a specific domain — deploying OpenStack, bootstrapping Kubernetes, managing server hardware, and more.

Pull a stack into your project and your AI agent instantly knows how to deploy, manage, troubleshoot, and upgrade the target software. Stacks teach agents and humans — amplifying what you can accomplish together.

How It Works

# Start a project and pull a stack
agentic-stacks init my-cluster
cd my-cluster
agentic-stacks pull kubernetes-talos

# Now talk to the agent — it knows Kubernetes on Talos
# "I need a 5-node HA cluster with Cilium CNI and
#  local-path storage on these hosts..."

The agent reads the stack's skills, asks the right questions, and creates the deployment configs. Everything it creates goes into your repo — reproducible, version-controlled, yours.

Compose multiple domains

Need hardware expertise alongside your platform stack? Pull in more skills:

agentic-stacks pull hardware-dell    # now it knows Dell servers too
agentic-stacks list                  # see what's loaded

The agent reads all stacks and combines their expertise — hardware provisioning, platform deployment, and everything in between.

Capture learnings as you go

Hit an issue? Ask your agent to document it. Stacks get smarter over time — every workaround, gotcha, and fix feeds back into the stack for the next person.

"That NTP fix we just did — add it to known issues for this version."

CLI

# Start a new project
agentic-stacks init my-project
cd my-project

# Pull stacks into .stacks/
agentic-stacks pull kubernetes-talos    # pull a stack
agentic-stacks pull hardware-dell      # add another stack

# Manage stacks
agentic-stacks list                    # see loaded stacks
agentic-stacks update                  # update all to latest
agentic-stacks update --check          # check without updating
agentic-stacks remove hardware-dell    # remove a stack

# Search for stacks
agentic-stacks search kubernetes

# Create a new stack (for stack authors)
agentic-stacks create my-org/my-stack

# Validate a stack
agentic-stacks doctor --path ./my-stack

What a Stack Looks Like

A stack is a git repo with this structure:

kubernetes-talos/
├── CLAUDE.md               # Agent entry point — the expertise guide
├── stack.yaml              # Manifest — identity, skills, metadata
└── skills/                 # Markdown knowledge — teaches the agent
    ├── deploy/             # Bootstrap, Networking, Storage
    ├── foundation/         # Concepts, Infrastructure, Machine Config
    ├── operations/         # Backup, Certs, Health Check, Scaling, Upgrades
    ├── platform/           # GitOps, Ingress, Observability, Security
    └── reference/          # Compatibility, Known Issues, Decision Guides

The CLAUDE.md is the product — it's what makes the agent an expert. The skills directory contains detailed knowledge the agent references during operations.

What a User's Project Looks Like

After init and working with the agent:

my-cluster/
├── .stacks/                # pulled stack repos (gitignored)
│   ├── kubernetes-talos/   # platform expertise
│   └── hardware-dell/      # hardware expertise
├── CLAUDE.md               # points agent to .stacks/*/CLAUDE.md
├── stacks.lock             # pinned stack references
├── controlplane.yaml       # Talos machine config (agent created this)
├── worker.yaml             # worker node config (agent helped build this)
└── ...

The output is native format for whatever tool the stack wraps. No custom formats — just the configs the tool expects.

Distribution

Stacks are git repos. Pull clones them. No package managers, no tarballs.

• Curated stacks live under the agentic-stacks GitHub org
• Third-party stacks live in their own repos — pull by org/name

agentic-stacks pull kubernetes-talos           # → github.com/agentic-stacks/kubernetes-talos
agentic-stacks pull someuser/their-stack      # → github.com/someuser/their-stack

Author a Stack

See the authoring guide for how to create and publish your own stack.

agentic-stacks create my-org/my-stack
# edit skills, CLAUDE.md, stack.yaml
agentic-stacks doctor --path ./my-stack
agentic-stacks publish --path ./my-stack

Development

pip install -e ".[dev,local,mcp]"
pytest -v --tb=short
