Attaches and manages persistent disks on Render services—mount paths, sizing, snapshots, file transfers, and single-instance constraints. Use when the user needs persistent storage, file uploads, a custom database on disk, CMS media storage, or needs to understand why their service can't scale horizontally or use zero-downtime deploys. Trigger terms: persistent disk, disk, storage, mount path, sizeGB, SSD, file uploads, snapshots, disk restore, ephemeral filesystem.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code /tmp/render-plugin-claude-code && ln -s /tmp/render-plugin-claude-code/skills/render-disks ~/.claude/skills/render-disks
```

## From README

Render Persistent Disks Persistent disks preserve files written beneath a service's configured mount path across deploys and restarts. Before designing, configuring, resizing, transferring data to, snapshotting, restoring, or troubleshooting a disk, read references/persistent-disks.md. When to Use Storing file uploads, CMS media, or user-generated content Running a self-managed database (MySQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse) on Render Deploying stateful infrastructure (Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Mattermost) Understanding why scaling is blocked or zero-downtime deploys are disabled Restoring data from a disk snapshot For managed databases, prefer Render Postgres (render-postgres) or Key Value (render-keyvalue) over self-managed alternatives on disk. Core Decisions Render's default filesystem is ephemeral. Only files written beneath a disk's mount path persist across deploys and restarts. A disk-backed service is single-instance: it cannot use horizontal scaling or zero-downtime deploys.
