Use when the user wants to observe FLUX-managed resources specifically — the controller-specific observer skill for Flux. Natural phrasing: "is this resource managed by Flux?", "which Kustomization owns this?", "show me the HelmRelease for this deployment", "what GitRepository / OCIRepository / Bucket is the source?", "did Flux reconcile the latest revision?", "show me Flux source-controller writes". Load whenever intent involves Flux specifically — Kustomizations, HelmReleases…
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
# observe-flux
The controller-specific observer skill for **Flux**. Documents the four Flux controllers (kustomize, helm, source, image) cub-scout knows about, the labels/annotations each writes, the manager-string enumeration in `managedFields`, and the source-artifact hierarchy.
Verified against `pkg/agent/ownership.go` `detectFluxOwnership` and `pkg/agent/manager_strings.go` Flux constants (`ManagerFluxKustomize`, `ManagerFluxHelm`, `ManagerFluxSource`).
## When to use
- "Is this resource managed by Flux?"
- "Which Kustomization owns deploy/api?"
- "Show me the HelmRelease producing this deployment"
- "What GitRepository / OCIRepository / Bucket is feeding this?"
- "Did Flux reconcile the latest revision?"
- "Show me what the Flux source-controller wrote"
- "Trace this resource back to the Flux source artifact"
## Do not load for
- Argo-managed resources — [`observe-argocd`](../observe-argocd/SKILL.md)
- Direct `helm install` (not via Flux helm-controller) — [`observe-helm`](../observe-helm/SKILL.md)
- Generic ownership ("who owns this?" without a specific controller) — [`scout-observe`](../scout-observe/SKILL.md)

How to install
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/observe-flux@sha256:ced1893352463ad6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.4c4b67c, 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.
