Is it compatible with specific cloud providers?

Yes, it focuses on standard Kubernetes API resources compatible with EKS, GKE, AKS, and on-premise clusters.

Does it support security scanning?

While it doesn't run external binary scanners, it applies defense-in-depth principles like dropping capabilities, enforcing non-root users, and setting read-only filesystems.

Can this skill help migrate from plain YAML to Helm?

Yes, it can analyze your existing manifests and structure them into reusable Helm templates with appropriate values.yaml files and helper functions.

Can I use this for GitOps workflows?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed to structure configurations for tools like ArgoCD and Flux using standard Kustomize and Helm directory patterns.

How does it handle resource management?

It identifies missing resource constraints and implements standard requests and limits based on cloud-native best practices to prevent OOM kills and CPU throttling.

Deployment & DevOps

Refactors Kubernetes manifests to implement security best practices, resource constraints, and GitOps patterns.

About

This skill acts as an expert Kubernetes architect within Claude, enabling users to transform basic or insecure YAML configurations into production-ready manifests. It focuses on the 'DRY' principle using Helm and Kustomize, implements 'Security First' policies like non-root containers and network policies, and ensures high availability through resource limits, health probes, and Pod Disruption Budgets. It is ideal for cleaning up legacy configurations, preparing for production deployments, or migrating hardcoded manifests into scalable, maintainable structures.

Key Features

Optimization of resource requests and limits for stable cluster scheduling
Transitioning flat YAML files into Kustomize overlays or Helm chart structures
Security hardening using non-root contexts and least-privilege RBAC policies
Implementation of comprehensive Liveness, Readiness, and Startup probes
Automated extraction of hardcoded configurations into ConfigMaps and Secrets
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Hardening existing clusters by adding Network Policies and dropping container capabilities
Standardizing labels and annotations across microservices for better observability
Converting a single-file YAML deployment into a multi-environment Kustomize structure
