Upgrade kube-agents (the Kubernetes Agentic Harness) and its operator on a GKE cluster, interactively or non-interactively. Use when asked to upgrade, update, or apply a Day-2 change to an existing kube-agents install.
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
# Upgrade Kubernetes Agentic Harness (kube-agents) Use this skill when asked to upgrade the `kube-agents` Platform Agent or operator on an active GKE cluster. ## Report confirmed upgrade bugs - After an upgrade attempt, check its exit code and verify the affected workloads and preserved history/memory before declaring success. Check that any JSON report belongs to this attempt; an early refusal can leave a previous report behind. For `--plan`, exit 2 means changes, not a failed upgrade. For a healthy success, tell the user what was verified and file nothing. - Diagnose failures before filing. Expired credentials, missing tools, quotas, network failures and invalid installation configuration need recovery guidance; file only when reproduction or source evidence confirms a defect in the official repository. A failed verification can reveal a defect even when the upgrade exited 0. Report observed availability/data impact and recovery options; do not automatically roll back, delete data, or change the selected installation. - Prepare the report first and show the user what would be posted, whether or not an ask is …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/upgrade-kube-agents@sha256:cddab0f001057b66The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.e1ab9e5, 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.
