Itential Admin Skills | Headless Platform Administration

Administer Itential From Your AI Coding Harness

Bring Itential administration into your AI coding harness. Admin Skills enables headless platform administration through Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor.

Check platform health, manage access, and configure integrations through plain-language requests, with platform permissions controlling what you can inspect and change.

Get Started with Admin Skills AI Skills Overview

What It Is

An open-source skill pack that brings Itential administration knowledge into your AI coding harness.

What It Manages

Check platform health, manage adapters and applications, configure access, and set up integrations.

How You Start

Install the pack, connect your Itential environment, and describe the administration task in plain language.

Headless Itential Administration

Understand Platform Health. Manage Access. Connect Systems.

Inspect your Itential environment and carry out administration tasks with platform-specific guidance for services, identities, integrations, and configuration.

Inspect Current State & Make the Right Change

Admin Skills guides your coding agent through the platform resources and procedures involved in administration. Start with a health check, inspect an existing configuration, or request a specific change.

Two skills cover the work: admin-platform handles platform health and services; admin-config handles access, integrations, and configuration.

Keep Platform Services Running
Check adapter, application, server, and system status. Start, stop, restart, or configure services, and manage workflow-engine workers and database indexes.
Manage Identity & Access
Manage account memberships, groups, roles, and OAuth service accounts. Configure and test SSO, and assign access appropriate to the work each account needs to perform.
Connect Systems & Manage Content
Create codeless integrations from OpenAPI specifications. Configure integration instances and access, manage profiles, and validate or import pre-built content.

Start With a Request

From Operational Questions to Action

Ask in plain languageabout failed jobs, run an automation, or manage schedules and approvals. Operator Skills supplies the Itential-specific guidance for the task.

Check Platform Health

“Check the health of my Itential platform.”

Get a summary of adapter and application states, with findings that need further investigation. Use the results to request a more specific check or administration action.

Set Up Platform Access

“Create a read-only service account for our CI integration.”

Review the required access, create the OAuth service account with appropriate group membership and permissions, and test authentication for its intended use.

Connect a REST API

“Set up a codeless integration from this OpenAPI specification.”

Create the integration model and instance, assign the generated roles to the intended group, and check that its tasks are available to the users who need them.

Your Tool. Your Choice.

Make It Work for Your Team

Connect Your Platform & Apply Your Administration Standards

Admin Skills works against the Itential environment you connect. Add your organization’s procedures so the skills can apply the guidance relevant to your platform.

Connect Your Environment
Configure your platform URL and credentials in a working folder using the repository’s setup instructions. Use an account with permissions appropriate to the resources and changes you need.
Verify With a First Request
Ask “Check the health of my Itential platform.” The admin-platform skill should inspect your environment and report adapters, applications, and their states.
Add Your Administration Procedures
Specify service-account naming conventions, approved role definitions, environment requirements, and when a production change needs a ticket.

Share organization and team guidance through your organization’s repository copy, while keeping personal environment settings separate. Custom guidance stays separate from Itential’s foundational skills as you bring in updates.
