  "markdown": "# InsideOut by Luther Systems\n\n[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/luther-systems/insideout)](https://smithery.ai/servers/luther-systems/insideout)\n\n> Cloud infrastructure automation. Describe your application in natural language and InsideOut will design, configure, deploy, and manage production-ready backend infrastructure -- in minutes, not weeks.\n\nWorks standalone or integrated directly into AI app builders via MCP.\n\n---\n\n## Quick Install (30 seconds)\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills\n```\n\nWorks with **Claude Code**, **Codex**, **Cursor**, **Kiro**, **Windsurf**, and [30+ other tools](https://agentskills.io).\n\n**[View on Skills.sh](https://skills.sh/luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills/insideout)** | **[Try the web app](https://insideout.luthersystemsapp.com/)** -- no install required.\n\n---\n\n## What Problem Does InsideOut Solve?\n\nSetting up cloud infrastructure is slow, error-prone, and requires deep DevOps expertise. Teams spend weeks on plumbing -- networking, security, storage, scaling configuration -- before writing a single line of product code.\n\nInsideOut eliminates this. You describe your application; InsideOut handles the rest: architecture design, Terraform generation, cost estimation, deployment, and ongoing management.\n\n**Before InsideOut:** Weeks of manual infrastructure setup, Terraform authoring, and cloud configuration.\n**With InsideOut:** Backend infrastructure deployed in minutes, managed continuously.\n\n| Capability | Manual Terraform | InsideOut |\n|---|---|---|\n| Time to deploy | Days to weeks | Minutes |\n| Security defaults | Manual | Automatic |\n| Cost visibility | Post-deploy billing | Pre-deploy estimates |\n| Observability setup | Manual | Day one |\n| AI app builder integration | None | Native (Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, Antigravity) |\n| Terraform ownership | Yes | Yes (generated, exportable) |\n\n---\n\n## What You Can Do\n\n- Design AWS/GCP architectures conversationally\n- Get real-time cost estimates before deploying\n- Generate production-ready Terraform\n- Deploy infrastructure directly from your tool\n- Inspect environments and detect drift\n- Monitor logs and manage resources over time\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\nOnce installed, just ask:\n\n> \"Build me a scalable backend for my golang microservices app on AWS with a DB and auth.\"\n\nInsideOut will:\n1. Propose an architecture (ECS, RDS, Cognito, ALB, VPC...)\n2. Estimate monthly cost\n3. Generate production-ready Terraform\n4. Deploy to your AWS or GCP account\n\n```\nYou: \"I need infrastructure for an e-commerce platform, 1k monthly users on AWS\"\n\nRiley: \"I'd recommend ECS for your containers, RDS PostgreSQL for your database,\n        ElastiCache Redis for sessions, and an ALB. Estimated cost: ~$350/month.\n        Want me to adjust anything?\"\n\nYou: \"Looks good, generate the Terraform\"\n\n[Generates production-ready Terraform files]\n\nYou: \"Deploy it\"\n\n[Deploys to AWS, streams logs in real-time]\n```\n\n---\n\n## Who Is This For?\n\n| User | Use case |\n|---|---|\n| **Solo developers** | Ship a production backend without DevOps expertise |\n| **Startup engineering teams** | Move from idea to deployed infrastructure in minutes |\n| **AI app builders** | Integrate infrastructure automation directly into AI-native development workflows |\n| **Enterprise teams** | Standardise infrastructure with best practices and cost controls |\n| **DevOps / platform engineers** | Faster architecture and IaC workflows |\n\nIf you'd rather describe what you want than manually wire it together -- this is for you.\n\n---\n\n## Choose Your Path\n\n| Path | Best for | Install |\n|------|----------|---------|\n| **This repo** (recommended for Codex) | Portable skill across multiple AI tools | `npx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills` |\n| **[Claude Code plugin](https://github.com/luthersystems/insideout-claude-code)** | Best native Claude Code experience | `/plugin marketplace add luthersystems/insideout-claude-code` |\n| **[Kiro power](https://github.com/luthersystems/insideout-power)** | Best native Kiro experience | Add power from GitHub: `luthersystems/insideout-power` |\n| **[Web app](https://insideout.luthersystemsapp.com/)** | No install required | Open in browser |\n\n---\n\n## Installation (Detailed)\n\n### Recommended: Skills CLI\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills\n```\n\n### Claude Code\n\nFor the full plugin experience (slash commands, agents, hooks, auto-approve):\n\n```\n/plugin marketplace add luthersystems/insideout-claude-code\n/plugin install insideout\n```\n\n### Codex\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills --agent codex\n```\n\nActivate by typing `$insideout` -- Codex will detect the missing MCP server and prompt you to install it automatically.\n\n> **Fallback:** If the auto-install doesn't trigger, run: `codex mcp add insideout --url https://app.luthersystems.com/v1/insideout-mcp`\n\n### Cursor\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills --agent cursor\n```\n\nThen add the MCP server to your Cursor MCP config:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"insideout\": {\n      \"type\": \"http\",\n      \"url\": \"https://app.luthersystems.com/v1/insideout-mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Windsurf\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills --agent windsurf\n```\n\nAdd MCP via Windsurf MCP Marketplace or manually in settings.\n\n### Kiro\n\nFor the full power experience (steering files, design pattern guides, auto-approve):\n\n1. Open the Powers panel\n2. Click **Add power from GitHub**\n3. Enter: `luthersystems/insideout-power`\n\n### Antigravity\n\n```bash\nnpx skills add luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills --agent antigravity\n```\n\nThen add the MCP server in Antigravity: \"...\" menu → MCP Servers → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"insideout\": {\n      \"serverUrl\": \"https://app.luthersystems.com/v1/insideout-mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n> **Note:** Antigravity uses `serverUrl`, not `url`.\n\n### Manual Installation\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/luthersystems/insideout-agent-skills.git\ncp -r insideout-agent-skills ~/.agents/skills/insideout\n```\n\nThe `~/.agents/skills/` directory is the standard cross-tool location. Most AI coding tools will detect skills here automatically.\n\n---\n\n## Supported Services (60+)\n\n| Category | AWS | GCP |\n|----------|-----|-----|\n| **Compute** | EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda | Compute Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions |\n| **Database** | RDS PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, OpenSearch | Cloud SQL, Firestore, Memorystore |\n| **Networking** | VPC, ALB, CloudFront, API Gateway | VPC, Load Balancing, Cloud CDN, API Gateway |\n| **Storage** | S3 | Cloud Storage |\n| **Security** | WAF, KMS, Secrets Manager, Cognito | Cloud Armor, Cloud KMS, Secret Manager, Identity Platform |\n| **Messaging** | SQS, MSK (Kafka) | Pub/Sub |\n| **Observability** | CloudWatch, Managed Grafana | Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring |\n| **AI/ML** | Bedrock | Vertex AI |\n| **CI/CD** | CodePipeline, GitHub Actions | Cloud Build |\n| **Backup** | AWS Backup | GCP Backups |\n\nArchitecture patterns: AI Stack, Microservices, Serverless.

InsideOut generates the architecture, configuration, and Terraform. Review, tweak, and deploy -- all from one place.\n\n### Cost Visibility Before Deployment\nGet cost estimates for your exact stack before committing. No surprise bills; pricing is surfaced at design time.\n\n### Secure and Observable by Default\nSecurity best practices applied automatically. Observability configured from day one -- no retroactive setup needed.\n\n### Full Terraform Ownership\nYou own the generated Terraform files. Use InsideOut defaults or override any setting. No lock-in; the output is standard infrastructure-as-code.\n\n### Managed Operations\nLuther Systems sets up and manages critical infrastructure. Ongoing updates and operational support included.\n\n---\n\n## How It Works\n\nInsideOut uses a multi-agent AI system behind a single MCP server:\n\n| Agent | Role |\n|-------|------|\n| **Riley** | Infrastructure advisor -- leads the design conversation |\n| **Hippo** | Cost estimation and pricing optimization |\n| **Joy** | User experience and requirement gathering |\n| **Etch** | Terraform code generation |\n| **Core** | Architecture validation and best practices |\n| **Axel** | Deployment orchestration |\n\nFrom your perspective, you're talking to Riley. The other agents work behind the scenes. These capabilities are exposed as tools inside your AI environment, so you use them conversationally.\n\n## Security & Auth Model\n\n- No API key required to install or use the skill\n- The MCP server runs remotely over HTTPS -- no local binary needed\n- Cloud credentials are only required at deployment time, via a browser-based connect flow\n- You control what gets deployed into your cloud accounts\n- You can review all generated Terraform before deploying\n\nSee [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for detailed data flow documentation.\n\n---\n\n## Terraform Presets and Modules\n\nInsideOut uses a library of battle-tested, standard Terraform modules composed for common infrastructure patterns.\n\n- [Terraform Presets](https://github.com/luthersystems/insideout-terraform-presets) -- the pre-built modules InsideOut composes\n- [Standard Modules](https://github.com/luthersystems/tf-modules) -- underlying Luther Enterprise infrastructure modules\n\n---\n\n## FAQ\n\n**Can I use InsideOut without the InsideOut UI?**\nYes. InsideOut integrates with Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, Antigravity, and any MCP-compatible AI development environment, allowing you to design, price, and deploy infrastructure directly from your editor without opening the InsideOut interface.\n\n**Do I own the generated Terraform?**\nYes. InsideOut generates standard Terraform files that you own and can export, modify, or use independently of the platform.\n\n**Can I override the default configuration?**\nYes. InsideOut applies best-practice defaults but every setting is overridable. You control the final configuration before deployment.\n\n**What clouds does InsideOut support?**\nAWS and Google Cloud Platform. AWS has the deepest support with the widest range of resource types. Azure support is upcoming.\n\n**Is InsideOut suitable for AI application backends?**\nYes. InsideOut explicitly supports AI stack architectures and is designed to work within AI-native development environments like Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, Antigravity, and other MCP-compatible tools.\n\n**How does pricing work?**\nCost estimates for your exact stack are surfaced before deployment.
