Kubesphere Openkruise

If you're running KubeSphere and need to manage OpenKruise workloads, this handles the full lifecycle: installing the extension via InstallPlan, checking CRD and pod status, generating SidecarSet manifests for sidecar injection, and CloneSet configs for in-place updates and batch rollouts. It's opinionated about version discovery, the skill explicitly maps KubeSphere extension version 1.0.3 to OpenKruise runtime 1.4.0 and won't guess versions if you don't provide them. Includes both kubectl commands and KubeSphere API curls for multi-cluster setups. Keeps advanced CRDs like BroadcastJob and UnitedDeployment out of scope unless you ask. Useful if you want Claude to generate working manifests instead of generic examples.

KubeSphere OpenKruise Management

Use this skill for the full OpenKruise lifecycle in KubeSphere:

Install or upgrade the OpenKruise extension through InstallPlan
Query extension status, CRDs, Pods, and logs
Generate SidecarSet manifests for sidecar injection and rolling updates
Generate CloneSet manifests for advanced stateless workloads, in-place updates, and batch rollout
Uninstall the OpenKruise extension
Troubleshoot failed Pods, missing CRDs, and webhook problems

Out of scope by default:

Advanced OpenKruise CRDs not requested by the user, such as BroadcastJob, NodeImage, UnitedDeployment, or AdvancedPodAutoscaler
Deep chart-value design without cluster evidence

If the user explicitly asks for those CRDs, acknowledge that they are OpenKruise capabilities but treat them as a follow-up task instead of assuming they belong in the default workflow.
