What it does

Planning Disaster Recovery is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute use when you need to work with backup and recovery. This skill provides backup automation and disaster recovery with comprehensive guidance and automation. Trigger with phrases like "create backups", "automate backups", or "implement disaster recovery".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to work with backup and recovery
  • With phrases like create backups
  • Automate backups
  • Implement disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “create backups”
  • “automate backups”
  • “implement disaster recovery”
  • “/planning-disaster-recovery”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(tar:*), Bash(rsync:*), Bash(aws:s3:*)

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Catalog all production services with their criticality tier (Tier 1: < 15 min RTO, Tier 2: < 1 hour, Tier 3: < 24 hours)
  2. Map dependencies between services to identify single points of failure and cascading failure paths
  3. Design the DR strategy per tier: active-active for Tier 1, pilot light or warm standby for Tier 2, backup-restore for Tier 3
  4. Generate Terraform for standby region infrastructure: VPC, subnets, security groups, and scaled-down compute
  5. Configure database replication: RDS cross-region read replicas, DynamoDB global tables, or Cloud SQL cross-region replicas
  6. Set up DNS failover using Route 53 health checks, Cloud DNS routing policies, or global load balancers
  7. Create automated failover scripts: promote read replica to primary, update DNS records, scale up standby compute
  8. Document the DR runbook with step-by-step procedures, responsible parties, and communication plans
  9. Schedule quarterly DR drills: simulate region failure, execute the runbook, measure actual RTO/RPO, and document gaps
  10. Set up monitoring for replication lag, backup freshness, and standby infrastructure health

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(tar:*)
    • Bash(rsync:*)
    • Bash(aws:s3:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.aws.amazon.com
    • cloud.google.com
    • learn.microsoft.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Planning Disaster Recovery loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Planning Disaster Recovery

Overview

Design disaster recovery (DR) plans for cloud infrastructure covering RTO/RPO requirements, multi-region failover, data replication, and automated recovery procedures. Generate runbooks, Terraform for standby infrastructure, and automated failover scripts for databases, compute, and networking.

Prerequisites

  • Complete inventory of production infrastructure components and dependencies
  • Defined RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) per service tier
  • Cloud provider CLI authenticated with permissions for multi-region resource management
  • Cross-region networking configured (VPC peering, Transit Gateway, or VPN)
  • Backup and replication mechanisms already in place or planned

Instructions

  1. Catalog all production services with their criticality tier (Tier 1: < 15 min RTO, Tier 2: < 1 hour, Tier 3: < 24 hours)
  2. Map dependencies between services to identify single points of failure and cascading failure paths
  3. Design the DR strategy per tier: active-active for Tier 1, pilot light or warm standby for Tier 2, backup-restore for Tier 3
  4. Generate Terraform for standby region infrastructure: VPC, subnets, security groups, and scaled-down compute
  5. Configure database replication: RDS cross-region read replicas, DynamoDB global tables, or Cloud SQL cross-region replicas
  6. Set up DNS failover using Route 53 health checks, Cloud DNS routing policies, or global load balancers
  7. Create automated failover scripts: promote read replica to primary, update DNS records, scale up standby compute
  8. Document the DR runbook with step-by-step procedures, responsible parties, and communication plans
  9. Schedule quarterly DR drills: simulate region failure, execute the runbook, measure actual RTO/RPO, and document gaps
  10. Set up monitoring for replication lag, backup freshness, and standby infrastructure health

Output

  • DR plan document with service tiers, RTO/RPO targets, and recovery procedures
  • Terraform modules for standby region infrastructure
  • Automated failover scripts (database promotion, DNS switching, compute scaling)
  • DR drill checklist and post-drill assessment template
  • Monitoring dashboards for replication lag and backup status

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Replication lag exceeds RPONetwork throughput insufficient or write volume too highIncrease replication instance size, enable compression, or implement write throttling during peak
DNS failover not triggeringHealth check misconfigured or TTL too highVerify health check endpoint returns proper status; reduce DNS TTL to 60 seconds before drill
Standby database promotion failedReplication broken or standby in inconsistent stateCheck replication status; if broken, restore from latest snapshot and re-establish replication
Insufficient capacity in DR regionInstance types unavailable in standby regionPre-provision reserved capacity in DR region or use multiple instance type options
Application cannot connect after failoverConnection strings hardcoded to primary region endpointsUse DNS-based endpoints (CNAME/Route 53) instead of direct IPs; parameterize region in config

Examples

  • "Create a disaster recovery plan for a 3-tier web application on AWS with < 15 minute RTO for the API layer and < 1 hour for batch processing."
  • "Generate Terraform for a warm standby in us-west-2 with RDS cross-region read replica, scaled-down ECS cluster, and Route 53 failover routing."
  • "Design a DR drill that simulates primary region failure, executes automated failover, and validates data integrity in the standby region."
