Helps DevOps engineers configure mirrord Operator's Kafka queue splitting feature end-to-end. Generates the MirrordSplitConfig and MirrordPropertyList Kubernetes CRD YAMLs (the current resources; MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer + MirrordKafkaClientConfig are deprecated but still supported), the matching mirrord.json split_queues section with message_filter and jq_filter, and Helm value guidance. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Kafka splitting with mirrord, MirrordSplitConfig…

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

# mirrord Kafka Splitting Configuration Skill

> **Which CRDs?** Kafka splitting is now configured with **`MirrordSplitConfig`** (which queues to split + how the app finds their names) and **`MirrordPropertyList`** (the Kafka client connection). These replace the deprecated `MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer` + `MirrordKafkaClientConfig`, which still work for backward compatibility. **Generate the new resources for any new setup.** Only produce the deprecated ones if the user explicitly asks or is maintaining an existing deployment. Requires operator **3.170.0+** and CLI **3.221.0+**.

## Security Boundaries

> **IMPORTANT:** Follow these security rules for all operations in this skill.

- **No hardcoded credentials:** Never include actual SASL passwords, SSL key material, certificates, AWS keys, or any secret values in generated `MirrordPropertyList` YAML. Reference a Kubernetes Secret with `valueFrom.secretKeyRef` per property.
- **Credential protection:** Never ask the user to share Kafka passwords, certificates, key material, or AWS credentials with the agent. Instruct them to create Kubernetes Secrets themselves and reference them by name.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add metalbear-co/mirrord/mirrord-kafka@sha256:bb777f008f44ef55

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.8, 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.
