Does this skill support secret management?

Yes, it provides templates for Kubernetes Secrets and follows best practices for handling sensitive data, including recommendations for rotation and external secret operators.

Does the generated YAML include health checks?

Yes, it automatically suggests liveness and readiness probe configurations to ensure your pods are healthy and managed correctly by the Kubernetes scheduler.

Can I generate manifests for stateful applications?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific patterns for StatefulSets and PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) to handle databases and other stateful workloads.

Is the output compliant with security best practices?

Yes, the skill emphasizes security contexts, such as running as non-root users, dropping capabilities, and using read-only root filesystems.

Does it support Kustomize or Helm patterns?

The skill provides guidance on organizing multi-resource manifests, including folder structures suitable for Kustomize bases and overlays.
