FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an App Platform spec from a natural language description?▼

This skill transforms natural language descriptions into production-ready DigitalOcean App Platform specifications, outputting valid YAML files. It models best-practice defaults for services, workers, static_sites, databases, and ingress configurations.

Can I analyze an existing repository to create a DigitalOcean app.yaml configuration?▼

Yes, you can analyze existing repositories to automatically generate complete multi-component app specs. The process produces valid .do/app.yaml and .do/deploy.template.yaml files with correctly mapped services, workers, and databases.

Does the generated App Platform YAML include health checks and environment variables?▼

The generated App Platform YAML includes environment variables and health checks alongside ingress routing. It ensures all components like services and static_sites are configured with these best-practice defaults before deployment.

How do I create a Deploy to DO button configuration for a public repo?▼

To create a Deploy to DO button configuration, the skill produces the necessary deploy.template.yaml from your repository analysis. This enables multi-environment deployment patterns directly from public repos.

How do I validate a generated DigitalOcean App Platform spec with doctl?▼

Generated DigitalOcean App Platform specs are validated with doctl to ensure correctness before deployment. This validation step checks the YAML structure for services, databases, and ingress to prevent configuration errors.
