Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
The gitops-cluster-debug skill assists in troubleshooting issues within Kubernetes clusters managed using GitOps principles. It provides capabilities to inspect cluster state, identify discrepancies between desired and actual configurations, and diagnose problems related to deployments and infrastructure changes. This skill leverages FluxCD's understanding of GitOps workflows to pinpoint the root cause of operational challenges.
When to use it
- Deployment Failures: Investigate why a deployment is failing or exhibiting unexpected behavior in your Kubernetes cluster.
- Configuration Drift: Identify differences between the configuration stored in your Git repository and the actual state of your cluster.
- Infrastructure Issues: Diagnose problems related to infrastructure components, such as networking or storage, that impact application deployments.
- Rollback Verification: Confirm a rollback operation was successful and accurately reverted changes within the cluster.
Key capabilities
- Cluster State Inspection
- Configuration Discrepancy Detection
- Deployment Issue Diagnosis
- Infrastructure Problem Identification
- Rollback Validation
Example prompts
- "What's the current state of my 'production' namespace?"
- "Show me any configuration differences between Git and the cluster for the 'my-app' deployment."
- "Why is my 'database' pod failing to deploy?"
- "Verify that the last rollback was successful."
Tips & gotchas
This skill requires a working Kubernetes cluster managed by FluxCD. Ensure the agent has appropriate permissions and access to both your Git repository and the target Kubernetes cluster for accurate diagnosis.
