Use when deploying or managing Kubernetes workloads. Invoke to create deployment manifests, configure pod security policies, set up service accounts, define network isolation rules, debug pod crashes, analyze resource limits, inspect container logs, or right-size workloads. Use for Helm charts, RBAC policies, NetworkPolicies, storage configuration, performance optimization, GitOps pipelines, and multi-cluster management.

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

# Kubernetes Specialist

## When to Use This Skill

- Deploying workloads (Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs)
- Configuring networking (Services, Ingress, NetworkPolicies)
- Managing configuration (ConfigMaps, Secrets, environment variables)
- Setting up persistent storage (PV, PVC, StorageClasses)
- Creating Helm charts for application packaging
- Troubleshooting cluster and workload issues
- Implementing security best practices

## Core Workflow

1. **Analyze requirements** — Understand workload characteristics, scaling needs, security requirements
2. **Design architecture** — Choose workload types, networking patterns, storage solutions
3. **Implement manifests** — Create declarative YAML with proper resource limits, health checks
4. **Secure** — Apply RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards, least privilege
5. **Validate** — Run `kubectl rollout status`, `kubectl get pods -w`, and `kubectl describe pod <name>` to confirm health; roll back with `kubectl rollout undo` if needed

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeffallan/claude-skills/kubernetes-specialist@sha256:ff066ef0cc751ded

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
