topology-drift SKILL.md skillA
topology-drift from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Fleet-wide zonal placement skew from one `leeway report` sweep across several clusters — which multi-replica workloads have their running replicas concentrated in one zone, why (a conflicting nodeAffinity under a soft spread constraint, no spread constraint at all, zonal PersistentVolumes, a zone out of CPU, a zone cordoned or NotReady, a node pool that exists in one zone), the share a zone failure takes, and which remediation category each cause takes; a GitOps pull request only where the fix…
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
# Topology Drift (Platform Agent)
Use this skill for the fleet question: which clusters have workloads that would not survive a zone failure, and why. `leeway report` reads every target cluster in one run and does the counting and the first pass at attribution; this skill is about reading what it printed, confirming it, and naming the cause and the remediation category without proposing the wrong fix. Four of the causes below take no manifest change at all, and an agent that answers every skew with a `topologySpreadConstraints` pull request sends the operator to edit a manifest that is correct.
## Delegate or run
Per `AGENTS.md` ("Delegation") single-cluster runtime debugging is the Cluster Agent's. Call `get_cluster_profile_name(project, cluster, location)` for the cluster the request names:

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/topology-drift@sha256:7060edd62106d4d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.a403509, 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.
