Kubernetes Operator
This helps Claude understand and work with Kubernetes operators, those custom controllers that extend Kubernetes to manage complex applications. You'd reach for this when you're building or debugging operators, need to explain CRDs and reconciliation loops, or want help structuring operator logic using frameworks like Kubebuilder or Operator SDK. The skill covers the operator pattern itself, not just deploying existing operators, so it's most useful when you're actually developing one. Fair warning: if you just need to install a pre-built operator from OperatorHub, you probably don't need this, but if you're writing Go code that watches resources and updates cluster state, it'll save you from explaining the basics every time.

Kubernetes Operator
Build operators that reconcile correctly. Most operator bugs are not Kubernetes bugs — they are reconcile-loop bugs: missing finalizers, blocking calls, no requeue on transient errors, status drift, RBAC over-grants. This skill catches them deterministically before they reach a cluster.
When to use
- Building a new Kubernetes Operator (controller for a CRD)
- Reviewing an existing operator for capability-level gaps
- Auditing a CRD spec for status/conditions/finalizer correctness
- Choosing a framework (controller-runtime / kubebuilder / operator-sdk / metacontroller / KOPF)
- Designing the API surface of a Custom Resource
- Hardening RBAC, leader election, or webhook validation
When NOT to use
- Plain Helm chart packaging → use
helm-chart-builder - Standard kubectl operations / blue-green deploys → use
senior-devops - General k8s security posture → use
cloud-security - "I want to run a workload" — that's a Deployment / Job, not an operator
Core principle: an operator is a reconcile loop, not a script
