What it does

This skill gives the agent a structured guide for running Kubernetes deployments through Git: the desired state of your apps is stored in a Git repository, and tools like ArgoCD or Flux automatically pull and apply it to the cluster. Once installed, the agent can walk you through installing these tools, laying out a repository, writing sync policies, setting up canary or blue-green rollouts, and handling secrets without storing them in Git. It is mainly a reference of commands and YAML examples rather than an automated system.

Great for

  • Platform or DevOps engineers setting up GitOps for a Kubernetes cluster
  • Teams moving from manual kubectl deployments to Git-based continuous delivery
  • Engineers who need example ArgoCD Application or Flux Kustomization manifests to adapt

Skip it if

  • Non-technical users with no Kubernetes cluster, since the guidance assumes one exists and is reachable
  • Production clusters changed without review: enabling automated prune and selfHeal can delete or overwrite live resources if the Git repo is wrong

Try asking

  • “Set up ArgoCD on my cluster and create an application that syncs from my gitops-repo”
  • “Write a Flux bootstrap and Kustomization for my production cluster path”
  • “Show me a canary rollout with ArgoCD Rollouts for my web app”
  • “How do I keep database passwords out of Git using External Secrets?”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Review every generated manifest and command before running it against a live cluster, especially prune and force-sync options
  • Start in a staging cluster and test sync policies there before enabling automated sync in production
  • Confirm the cluster context with kubectl config current-context before applying anything
