istio-traffic-management SKILL.md skillA
istio-traffic-management from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add wshobson/agents/istio-traffic-management@git:20260307.47a5dbcPins git:20260307.47a5dbc in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure Istio traffic management including routing, load balancing, circuit breakers, and canary deployments. Use when implementing service mesh traffic policies, progressive delivery, or resilience patterns.
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
# Istio Traffic Management
Comprehensive guide to Istio traffic management for production service mesh deployments.
## When to Use This Skill
- Configuring service-to-service routing
- Implementing canary or blue-green deployments
- Setting up circuit breakers and retries
- Load balancing configuration
- Traffic mirroring for testing
- Fault injection for chaos engineering
## Core Concepts
### 1. Traffic Management Resources
| Resource | Purpose | Scope |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------- |
| **VirtualService** | Route traffic to destinations | Host-based |
| **DestinationRule** | Define policies after routing | Service-based |
| **Gateway** | Configure ingress/egress | Cluster edge |
| **ServiceEntry** | Add external services | Mesh-wide |
### 2. Traffic Flow
```
Client → Gateway → VirtualService → DestinationRule → Service
(routing) (policies) (pods)
```
## Templates
### Template 1: Basic Routing
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: reviews-route
namespace: bookinfo

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/istio-traffic-management@sha256:263e9fde1b9496deThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260307.47a5dbc, 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.
