K8s Yaml Generator

This generates Kubernetes manifests with a strict validation loop baked in. It handles everything from basic Deployments and Services to CRDs like Argo CD Applications, using a bounded lookup process via Context7 when it needs custom resource schemas. The execution model is deterministic with mandatory validation at the end, either through the k8s-yaml-validator skill or direct kubeconform and kubectl dry-run commands if that's not available. It applies production defaults like security contexts, resource limits, and consistent labeling. Use it when you need complete, validated YAML rather than quick snippets. The three-attempt cap on validation loops keeps it from spinning indefinitely on broken configs.

Kubernetes YAML Generator

Generate Kubernetes manifests with deterministic steps, bounded CRD research, and mandatory validation for full-resource output.

Trigger Guidance

Use this skill when the user asks to create or update Kubernetes YAML, for example:

"Generate a Deployment + Service manifest for my app."
"Create an Argo CD Application CRD."
"Write a StatefulSet with PVC templates."
"Produce production-ready Kubernetes YAML with best practices."

Do not use this skill for validation-only requests. For validation-only work, use k8s-yaml-validator.

Execution Model

Normative keywords:

MUST: required
SHOULD: default unless user requests otherwise
MAY: optional

Deterministic sequence:

Preflight request and path/rendering sanity.
Capture minimum required inputs.
Resolve CRD references (bounded workflow only when CRD/custom API is involved).
Generate YAML with baseline quality checks.
Run mandatory validation (or documented fallback path when tooling is unavailable).
Deliver YAML plus explicit validation report and assumptions.

If one step is blocked by environment constraints, execute that step's fallback and continue.
