Design, build, and operate Kubernetes operators. Use when extending Kubernetes with a custom controller, choosing a framework, designing CRDs, implementing reconciliation loops, or auditing an operator for anti-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

# Kubernetes Operator

End-to-end Kubernetes operator design and construction. Covers the operator pattern (control loops for stateful workloads), CRD design (schema, validation, conversion, status), the reconciliation loop (idempotency, convergence, level- vs edge-triggered), framework selection (controller-runtime / Kubebuilder / operator-SDK / metacontroller), and operational concerns (finalizers, leader election, RBAC scoping, status subresource, observability). Targets Go-based operators (the dominant ecosystem) with notes on alternatives (KOPF, JOSDK, kube-rs).

## Core Capabilities

- **Decide whether to write an operator** — operator vs Helm vs GitOps vs admission webhook vs Crossplane, and when NOT to build one at all.
- **CRD design** — spec/status separation, OpenAPI v3 structural schemas, CEL cross-field validation, versioning, conversion webhooks, status subresource, printer columns, scale subresource.
- **Reconciliation loops** — idempotent, level-triggered, converging control loops; phase machines vs always-converge; owner references and garbage collection.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/kubernetes-operator@sha256:d930eefe31cbb528

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
