Tailscale Platform

Use this skill for any Tailscale work, from local development connectivity to production tailnet architecture and incident diagnostics.

Tailscale changes quickly. Ground version-sensitive advice in the local CLI and current official docs before making claims about flags, policy syntax, product limits, or Kubernetes CRDs.

First Steps

1. Infer posture from context.
   • For personal tailnets, MVPs, local dev, demos, and scrappy startup work, give the fastest viable path first.
   • For organizations, production, shared tailnets, sensitive systems, or compliance contexts, use secure-first defaults.
   • If the context is unclear and the posture changes commands, exposure, key handling, or access policy, ask before changing state.
