k8s-catch-up SKILL.md skillA
k8s-catch-up from bretfisher/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add bretfisher/skills/k8s-catch-up@git:20261104.e27cb65Pins git:20261104.e27cb65 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Kubernetes features that reached beta or GA in v1.35 to v1.37 (Dec 2025 to Aug 2026), newer than most models' training data. Use it whenever the user writes Kubernetes manifests or Helm templates, runs kubectl, configures the kubelet, scheduler, or API server, works with DRA, autoscaling, storage, or admission, or asks what a recent Kubernetes version can do, even without naming a version. Also use it to update or extend this skill.
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
# Kubernetes catch-up
**Updated:** 2026-09-30. **Covers:** v1.35 (2025-12-17), v1.36 (2026-04-22), v1.37 (2026-08-26).
Your training data ends before some or all of these releases, so the YAML you write from memory can
use an alpha field shape, an old API version, or a workaround for a problem Kubernetes now solves.
This skill holds one short file per user-facing feature that reached beta or GA in the covered
releases, grouped in directories by task under `references/`, plus the removals and deprecations an
agent must stop emitting.
## Working style
1. Before you write a manifest, command, or config, scan the feature links below for the area you
are in and open every file that matches the task. Each file is one feature: Status, the exact
field or flag, an example, and the docs link, about 300 tokens.
2. Say the stage when you use a beta feature ("beta since v1.36, gate `X` on by default"). A gate that
is off by default needs the cluster to enable it, so tell the user before you rely on it.
3. Check the user's cluster version against the feature's version. A field from v1.37 fails on a
v1.35 API server, so name the older way as well when the version is unknown.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add bretfisher/skills/k8s-catch-up@sha256:4428a6b81d264bceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.e27cb65, 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.
