gke-productionize from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Orchestrates comprehensive production readiness reviews and assessments for GKE clusters and workloads across scalability, security, reliability, observability, backup/DR, and cost optimization. Use when asked to productionize, prepare, assess, audit, or review a GKE cluster or workload before going live to production. Don't use for deep-dive single-domain implementation (use specific domain skills like gke-scaling, gke-platform-security, gke-workload-security, gke-service-networking…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GKE Productionize Skill
This skill acts as a high-level orchestrator for preparing a GKE cluster and its
workloads for production readiness.
> [!IMPORTANT] This is a **meta-skill** or **orchestrator skill**. You are
> expected to invoke and run many other specialized skills listed in this
> document as part of the overall productionization process. Do not attempt to
> implement all production readiness features directly within this skill;
> instead, use this skill to assess the environment and then delegate to the
> specific skills for each domain.
## Scope
This skill is adaptable to:
- A single application (already on Kubernetes or not).
- A set of applications.
- A target cluster.
## Workflow
### 1. Discovery Phase
Before making recommendations, discover the current state of the environment.
#### Cluster Discovery
Run these commands to understand the cluster setup:
- Check cluster details: `gcloud container clusters describe {cluster_name}
--location {location} --project {project}`
- Check for Autopilot vs Standard: Look for `autopilot: true` in the describe
output.
- Check release channel: Look for `releaseChannel`.
#### Workload Discovery

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-productionize@sha256:d4a28a8e311975a3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.fbd1f7d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
