Use when the user wants to observe NATIVE Kubernetes resources — anything cub-scout''s ownership detector couldn''t classify as Argo / Flux / Sveltos / Modelplane / Helm / Crossplane / kro / ConfigHub / Terraform / Custom. Natural phrasing: "why is this resource unowned?", "show me orphan workloads", "this isn''t managed by anything — what does that mean?", "what is OwnerReferences-only ownership?", "is this a kubectl-applied resource without a controller?…
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-native
The controller-specific observer skill for **native Kubernetes resources** — anything cub-scout's ownership detector couldn't classify under one of the controller-specific owners. Two distinct populations live here: K8s-native chains (a ReplicaSet under a Deployment, etc.) detected via OwnerReferences, and genuinely-unowned resources (a `kubectl apply -f` of a Deployment with no GitOps controller behind it).
Verified against `pkg/agent/ownership.go` `detectK8sOwnership` and the terminal `Ownership{Type: OwnerUnknown}` return.
## When to use
- "Why is this resource classified as unowned / native?"
- "Show me orphan workloads in this cluster"
- "What does `OwnerReferences-only ownership` mean?"
- "This Deployment isn't managed by anything — what's the implication?"
- "Is this a `kubectl apply -f` resource without any GitOps controller?"
- "Show me native K8s resources in this cluster"
- "Distinguish between OwnerType=k8s and OwnerType=unknown"
## Do not load for
- A specific controller you know is at play — load the matching `observe-*` skill
- Generic ownership detection ("who owns this?") — [`scout-observe`](../scout-observe/SKILL.md) walks all detectors

How to install
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/observe-native@sha256:9b2cb27afd33863aThe 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.
