Use this skill for Phase IV advanced AIOps and agent-based cluster management.
Creates blueprint-driven skills for infrastructure and deployment tasks. This skill should be used when creating new skills that require templates, patterns, or reference configurations (e.g., Dockerfiles, Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines). It enforces impact analysis before containerization, identifies environment requirements, network topology changes, and auth/CORS implications. Use this skill when building deployment-related skills or when containerizing applications.
Automate complete Multicluster Global Hub release workflow across 6 repositories including branch creation, OpenShift CI configuration, catalog OCP version management, bundle updates, and PR creation. REQUIRES explicit RELEASE_BRANCH specification (e.g., RELEASE_BRANCH=release-2.17). Supports two modes - CREATE_BRANCHES=true (create branches) or false (update via PR). Keywords: release branch, global hub, openshift/release, catalog, bundle, CI configuration, OCP versions.
Creates and manages Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments. This skill should be used when packaging applications for Kubernetes using Helm, creating Chart.yaml, values.yaml, and templates. It covers chart structure, templating, dependencies, and deployment patterns. Use this skill for Phase IV+ Kubernetes deployments.
Validate Kubernetes deployments before execution. Run pre-flight checks for password generation, environment variables, database authentication, CORS configuration, and docker-compose parity. Use this skill BEFORE every Helm install/upgrade to prevent deployment failures.
End-to-end cloud deployment skill for Kubernetes (AKS/GKE/DOKS) with CI/CD pipelines. Covers managed services integration (Neon, Upstash), ingress configuration, SSL certificates, GitHub Actions workflows with selective builds, and Next.js build-time vs runtime environment handling. Battle-tested from 9-hour deployment session.
Manages local Kubernetes clusters using Minikube for development and testing. This skill should be used when setting up local K8s environments, enabling addons, configuring networking, and deploying applications locally. Use this skill for Phase IV local Kubernetes deployments before cloud deployment.
Flux GitOps patterns for the homelab Kubernetes platform using ResourceSets. Use when: (1) Adding new Helm releases or applications to the platform, (2) Deploying a new service to Kubernetes, (3) Debugging Flux reconciliation issues or sync problems, (4) Understanding ResourceSet patterns, (5) Configuring Kustomizations and variable substitution, (6) Questions about helm-charts.yaml or platform structure, (7) GitOps workflow questions. Triggers: "add helm release", "deploy to kubernetes", "add new service", "add application", "flux resourceset", "flux reconciliation", "flux not syncing", "flux stuck", "gitops", "helm-charts.yaml", "platform values", "flux debug", "HelmRelease not ready", "kustomization", "helmrelease", "add chart", "deploy helm chart"
Deploy applications using bjw-s/app-template Helm chart - a flexible chart for helmifying container images without dedicated charts. Use when: (1) Deploying container images that lack official Helm charts, (2) Creating HelmRelease manifests for Flux GitOps, (3) Configuring multi-container pods with sidecars, (4) Setting up persistent storage, ingress, services for custom applications, (5) Questions about app-template values structure or patterns, (6) Deploying any custom container to Kubernetes. Triggers: "deploy with app-template", "helmify this image", "create helm release for", "app-template values", "sidecar container", "multi-container pod helm", "deploy container image", "no helm chart available", "custom container deployment", "bjw-s", "app-template chart", "deploy docker image to kubernetes", "container without helm chart", "generic helm chart"
Search kubesearch.dev to research how other homelabs configure Helm charts. Use when: (1) Configuring a new Helm release, (2) Looking for configuration examples, (3) Comparing approaches across repositories, (4) Needing real-world values.yaml patterns, (5) Researching best practices for specific charts, (6) Finding example implementations. Triggers: "how do others configure", "show me examples", "helm chart examples", "configuration examples", "values.yaml examples", "kubesearch", "homelab examples", "how do other homelabs", "real-world config", "chart configuration", "helm values examples", "compare helm configs", "best practices for helm"
Quick reference for Kubernetes core concepts and kubectl commands. This skill should be used as a refresher for basic K8s operations including pods, deployments, services, configmaps, secrets, and namespaces. Use this skill when working with Kubernetes clusters for Phase IV+ deployments.
Diagnose and fix Kubernetes deployment failures, especially ImagePullBackOff, CrashLoopBackOff, and architecture mismatches. Battle-tested from 4-hour AKS debugging session with 10+ failure modes resolved.

Production-grade Kubernetes manifests and debugging for containerized applications. This skill should be used when users ask to deploy to Kubernetes, create K8s manifests, containerize for K8s, set up Deployments/Services/Jobs/StatefulSets/CronJobs, create namespaces with resource quotas, set up multi-team isolation, configure ResourceQuota/ LimitRange, secure with RBAC (ServiceAccount, Role, RoleBinding), configure init containers (model download, db wait, migrations), set up sidecars (logging, metrics), or debug pods (CrashLoopBackOff, logs, exec, describe, events). Auto-detects from Dockerfile/code, generates hardened manifests with educational comments. CKAD-aligned.
