Use when the user wants to observe ARGO CD-managed resources specifically — the controller-specific observer skill for Argo. Natural phrasing: "is this resource managed by Argo CD?", "show me Argo applications in this cluster", "trace this Argo-owned deployment back to source", "which ApplicationSet generated this app?", "did Argo apply the latest commit?", "explain the Argo CSA migration default", "what tracking-id annotation does Argo write?". Load whenever intent involves Argo CD…
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
# observe-argocd
The controller-specific observer skill for **Argo CD**. Documents the exact labels / annotations / manager strings Argo writes, how cub-scout's ownership detector classifies Argo-managed resources, and the edge cases (CSA migration, tracking-id format, ApplicationSet generators).
This skill is verified against `pkg/agent/ownership.go` `detectArgoOwnership` and `pkg/agent/manager_strings.go` `ManagerArgoCD` — the constants are the single source of truth for what Argo writes.
## When to use
- "Is this resource managed by Argo CD?"
- "Show me the Argo Applications in this cluster"
- "Trace this Argo-owned deployment back to source"
- "Which ApplicationSet generated this Application?"
- "Did Argo apply the latest commit?"
- "Explain the Argo CSA migration / `kubectl-client-side-apply` writer"
- "What does the `argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id` annotation mean?"
## Do not load for
- Generic ownership detection ("who manages this resource?") — [`scout-observe`](../scout-observe/SKILL.md) walks all detectors
- Comparing live state to ConfigHub or git — [`scout-compare`](../scout-compare/SKILL.md)

How to install
mdr add confighub/cub-scout/observe-argocd@sha256:582fda63d2feb296The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.3d2dea3, 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.
