Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The argocd-expert skill empowers AI agents to manage ArgoCD deployments, troubleshoot synchronization issues, and automate GitOps workflows within Kubernetes environments. It enables agents to interpret ArgoCD logs, diagnose drift between source code and running applications, and execute remediation steps autonomously.

When to use it

  • Resolving failed sync operations or health check failures in production clusters.
  • Automating the investigation of application drift caused by unauthorized manual changes.
  • Generating detailed root cause analysis reports for complex multi-cluster deployment errors.
  • Assisting developers in interpreting ArgoCD UI alerts and CLI output during debugging sessions.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes ArgoCD application status, health, and synchronization states.
  • Interprets error logs from the ArgoCD server and controller components.
  • Identifies discrepancies between Git repository manifests and live Kubernetes resources.
  • Provides actionable recommendations to restore desired state alignment.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze why the payment-service application is stuck in 'OutOfSync' status and suggest fixes."
  • "Explain the error message found in the ArgoCD controller logs regarding a failed Helm upgrade."
  • "Generate a step-by-step guide to resolve a sync failure caused by missing RBAC permissions."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has access to relevant ArgoCD logs and cluster context, as it cannot directly manipulate live Kubernetes resources without explicit permission. This skill focuses on diagnosis and guidance rather than executing destructive commands like kubectl delete or modifying Helm values directly.
