gke-app-onboarding SKILL.md skillA
gke-app-onboarding from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-app-onboarding@git:20261010.fbd1f7dPins git:20261010.fbd1f7d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Manages GKE application onboarding, covering containerization, deployment manifests, and migration. Use when onboarding or deploying an application to GKE for the first time, or containerizing an app for GKE. Don't use for general GKE cluster administration or upgrades (use gke-basics or gke-upgrades instead).
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 App Onboarding
This reference provides workflows for containerizing and deploying applications
to GKE for the first time.
> **MCP Tools:** `apply_k8s_manifest`, `get_k8s_resource`,
> `get_k8s_rollout_status`, `get_k8s_logs`, `describe_k8s_resource`
## Workflow
### 1. App Assessment
Before containerizing, assess the application:
- **Language & Framework**: Identify the tech stack
- **Dependencies**: List required libraries and external services
- **Configuration**: How is the app configured? (env vars, config files,
secrets)
- **Statefulness**: Does it need persistent storage? (databases, file storage)
- **Networking**: Port mapping and protocol (HTTP, gRPC, TCP)
- **Health endpoints**: Does the app expose health check endpoints?
### 2. Containerization
Create a container image:
**Dockerfile (recommended for most apps):**
```dockerfile
# Multi-stage build for smaller, more secure images
FROM golang:1.22 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o server .
FROM gcr.io/distroless/static:nonroot
COPY --from=builder /app/server /server
USER nonroot:nonroot
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["/server"]
```
**Best practices:**
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-app-onboarding@sha256:d9133859907df3dfThe 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.
