Kubernetes Manifests

Generate and debug Kubernetes YAML manifests — Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, RBAC, and Helm charts. Follows production-ready patterns with proper resource limits, health checks, and security contexts.

This skill helps you author Kubernetes resources with best practices baked in. It generates manifests with proper labels, annotations, resource requests/limits, liveness/readiness probes, pod disruption budgets, and network policies. Also helps debug failing pods and misconfigured services.

When to use

Use when deploying applications to Kubernetes, writing Helm charts, debugging pod crashes or service connectivity issues, or migrating from Docker Compose to K8s.
