topology-drift SKILL.md skillA
topology-drift 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/topology-drift@git:20261104.a403509Pins git:20261104.a403509 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read-only attribution of zonal placement skew from a `leeway report` run against this cluster — which multi-replica workloads have their running replicas concentrated in one zone, why (a conflicting nodeAffinity under a soft spread constraint, no spread constraint at all, zonal PersistentVolumes, a zone out of CPU, a zone cordoned or NotReady, a node pool that exists in one zone), the share of the workload a zone failure takes, and which remediation category each cause takes. Use when a card…
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
# Topology Drift (Cluster Agent) Use this skill when a card asks why a workload's replicas sit in one zone, whether a namespace or the cluster would survive a zone failure, or what a `leeway` finding means. `leeway report` does the counting and the first pass at attribution; this skill is about reading what it printed, confirming it with one or two `kubectl` reads, and naming the cause and the remediation category without proposing the wrong fix. Four of the causes below take no manifest change at all, and an agent that answers every skew with a `topologySpreadConstraints` patch sends the operator to edit a manifest that is correct. Nothing here mutates the cluster. `leeway report` is a read; every confirming command is a read; the remediation the report suggests goes in the card as a recommendation. ## Running it Your `KUBECONFIG` is pinned to this cluster, so there is nothing to configure: ```bash leeway report --topology-tier-c-signals --namespace <namespace> ``` …

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/topology-drift@sha256:ac39eaea2e76aa5fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.a403509, 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.
