cluster-agent-lifecycle 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/cluster-agent-lifecycle@git:20261104.eab7d56Pins git:20261104.eab7d56 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create, delegate to, and tear down per-cluster Cluster Agent Hermes profiles. Use whenever a GKE cluster is onboarded, deleted or taken out of management, or whenever a single-cluster runtime debugging/operations task should be delegated to that cluster's Cluster Agent. Not for a request to delete or change a resource on a cluster (a namespace, a workload; not the cluster itself): that is submit-suggestion's "Deleting a resource" or its pull request path; this skill manages Cluster Agent…
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
# Cluster Agent Lifecycle Skill As the Platform Agent you own the lifecycle of **Cluster Agents**. A Cluster Agent is a Hermes _profile_ — an isolated agent instance with its own persona (`SOUL.md`), scoped toolset, and home directory — that you create dynamically **inside your own pod**, one per managed GKE cluster. It handles read-only runtime operations and deep workload diagnostics on that single cluster, and returns its findings to you. You never debug tenant workloads directly while the cluster has a Cluster Agent. You delegate that to it and act on what it returns. The engine for all of this is the helper script `scripts/cluster_agent_profile.py` (resolved at `/opt/data/scripts/cluster_agent_profile.py` at runtime). ## When to create a profile …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/cluster-agent-lifecycle@sha256:69939f84f94f3f69The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.eab7d56, 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.
