gke-workload-troubleshooting SKILL.md skillA
gke-workload-troubleshooting 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-workload-troubleshooting@git:20261009.50e6846Pins git:20261009.50e6846 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Diagnoses GKE workload failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, Pending, etc.) via logs and events. Use when pods fail to start or crash repeatedly. Don't use for GKE cluster infrastructure provisioning, node pool creation, or non-Kubernetes Google Cloud services.
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 Workload Troubleshooting Skill
Use this skill to systematically diagnose and resolve failures in application
workloads deployed in GKE clusters. This skill operates non-interactively and
enforces a read-only diagnostics boundary before proposing manifest or config
corrections.
## 🔍 Diagnostic Workflow
### Step 0: Non-Interactive Context Discovery & Time Window Definition
1. **Parameter Extraction**: Extract required context (`project_id`,
`cluster_name`, `cluster_location`, `workload_name`, `workload_namespace`)
non-interactively from the user prompt, active `SETTINGS.md`, or active
environment defaults:
- Default `workload_namespace` to `default` if omitted.
- Infer missing cluster parameters from active environment (`kubectl
config current-context` or `gcloud config get-value project`).
- Prioritize non-interactive context discovery from prompts and
environment defaults to ensure autonomous execution flow.
2. **Cluster Credentials & Fallback Mode**:
- Attempt credential fetch: `gcloud container clusters get-credentials
{cluster_name} --region/--zone {cluster_location}`

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-workload-troubleshooting@sha256:7d3d070a9450e6e8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.50e6846, 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.
