Kubernetes Skill
Prevent Kubernetes hallucinations by diagnosing and fixing failure modes: insecure workload defaults, resource starvation, network exposure, privilege sprawl, fragile rollouts, and API drift. Use when generating, reviewing, refactoring, or migrating manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize overlays, cluster policies, and platform-specific Kubernetes work for EKS, GKE, AKS, OpenShift, GitOps controllers, or observability stacks.

# KubeShark: Failure-Mode Workflow for Kubernetes Run this workflow top to bottom. ## 1) Capture execution context Record before writing manifests: - cluster version (e.g. 1.30, 1.31) and distribution (EKS, GKE, AKS, k3s, vanilla) - target namespace and environment criticality (dev/staging/prod) - workload type (Deployment, StatefulSet, Job, CronJob, DaemonSet) - deployment method (raw YAML, Helm, Kustomize, operator-managed) - policy enforcement (Pod Security Admission level, Kyverno, OPA/Gatekeeper) - cloud provider and CNI (affects networking, storage classes, load balancers) - platform controllers/add-ons (GitOps, observability, ingress, service mesh, autoscaling) If unknown, state assumptions explicitly. ## 2) Diagnose likely failure mode(s) Select one or more based on user intent and risk: - insecure workload defaults: missing security contexts, PSS violations, host access - resource starvation: missing requests/limits, no PDB, scheduling chaos - network exposure: flat networking, missing policies, wrong Service types, DNS issues - privilege sprawl: overly permissive RBAC, leaked secrets, excess ServiceAccount rights - fragile rollouts: misconfigured probes, mutable tags, unsafe update strategies - API drift: wrong apiVersion, deprecated APIs, schema violations, tool-specific errors ## 3) Load only the relevant reference file(s) Primary failure-mode references: - `references/insecure-workload-defaults.md` - `references/resource-starvation.md`
