What this skill does
# Kubernetes Manifest Generator Step-by-step guidance for creating production-ready Kubernetes manifests including Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims. ## Purpose This skill provides comprehensive guidance for generating well-structured, secure, and production-ready Kubernetes manifests following cloud-native best practices and Kubernetes conventions. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Create new Kubernetes Deployment manifests - Define Service resources for network connectivity - Generate ConfigMap and Secret resources for configuration management - Create PersistentVolumeClaim manifests for stateful workloads - Follow Kubernetes best practices and naming conventions - Implement resource limits, health checks, and security contexts - Design manifests for multi-environment deployments ## Detailed patterns and worked examples Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. ## Best Practices Summary 1. **Always set resource requests and limits** - Prevents resource starvation 2. **Implement health checks** - Ensures Kubernetes can manage your application 3. **Use specific image tags** - Avoid unpredictable deployments 4. **Apply security contexts** - Run as non-root, drop capabilities 5. **Use ConfigMaps and Secrets** - Separate config from code 6. **Label everything** - Enables filtering and organization 7. **Follow naming conventions** - Use standard Kubernetes labels 8. **Validate before applying** - Use dry-run and validation tools 9. **Version your manifests** - Keep in Git with version control 10. **Document with annotations** - Add context for other developers ## Troubleshooting **Pods not starting:** - Check image pull errors: `kubectl describe pod <pod-name>` - Verify resource availability: `kubectl get nodes` - Check events: `kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'` **Service not accessible:** - Verify selector matches pod labels: `kubectl get endpoints <service-name>` - Check service type and port configuration - Test from within cluster: `kubectl run debug --rm -it --image=busybox -- sh` **ConfigMap/Secret not loading:** - Verify names match in Deployment - Check namespace - Ensure resources exist: `kubectl get configmap,secret` ## Next Steps After creating manifests: 1. Store in Git repository 2. Set up CI/CD pipeline for deployment 3. Consider using Helm or Kustomize for templating 4. Implement GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux 5. Add monitoring and observability ## Related Skills - `helm-chart-scaffolding` - For templating and packaging - `gitops-workflow` - For automated deployments - `k8s-security-policies` - For advanced security configurations

appbuilder-action-scaffolder
IncludedCreate, implement, deploy, and debug Adobe Runtime actions with consistent layout, validation, and error handling. Use this skill whenever the user needs to add actions to an App Builder project, understand action structure (params, response format, web/raw actions), configure actions in the manifest, use App Builder SDKs (State, Files, Events, database), deploy and invoke actions via CLI, debug action issues, or implement patterns such as webhook receivers, custom event providers, journaling consumers, large payload redirects, action sequence pipelines, and Asset Compute workers. Also trigger when users mention serverless functions in Adobe context, action logging, IMS authentication for actions, or cron-style scheduled actions.
orchestrating-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. Use this skill when the user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, cross-phase troubleshooting, or data space and data kit management. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase sf data360 workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching phase-specific skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use observing-agentforce), standard CRM SOQL (use querying-soql), or Apex implementation (use generating-apex).
github-project-automation
IncludedAutomate GitHub repository setup with CI/CD workflows, issue templates, Dependabot, and CodeQL security scanning. Includes 12 production-tested workflows and prevents 18 errors: YAML syntax, action pinning, and configuration. Use when: setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD, creating issue/PR templates, enabling Dependabot or CodeQL scanning, deploying to Cloudflare Workers, implementing matrix testing, or troubleshooting YAML indentation, action version pinning, secrets syntax, runner versions, or CodeQL configuration. Keywords: github actions, github workflow, ci/cd, issue templates, pull request templates, dependabot, codeql, security scanning, yaml syntax, github automation, repository setup, workflow templates, github actions matrix, secrets management, branch protection, codeowners, github projects, continuous integration, continuous deployment, workflow syntax error, action version pinning, runner version, github context, yaml indentation error
sf-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase `sf data360` workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching sf-datacloud-* skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use sf-ai-agentforce-observability), standard CRM SOQL (use sf-soql), or Apex implementation (use sf-apex).
fabric-cli
IncludedUse this skill for Fabric.so CLI workflows with the `fabric` terminal command: diagnose/install/login, search or browse a Fabric library, save notes/links/files, create folders, ask the Fabric AI assistant, manage tasks/workspaces, generate shell completion, check subscription usage, produce JSON output, and use Fabric as persistent agent memory. Do not use for Microsoft Fabric/Azure/Power BI `fab`, Daniel Miessler's Fabric framework, Python Fabric SSH, Fabric.js, or textile/fashion fabric.
lark
IncludedLark/Feishu CLI skills: lark-cli operations for docs, markdown, sheets, base, calendar, im, mail, task, okr, drive, wiki, slides, whiteboard, apps, approval, attendance, contact, vc, minutes, event. Use when the user needs to operate Lark/Feishu resources via lark-cli, send messages, manage documents, spreadsheets, calendars, tasks, OKRs, deploy web pages, or any Feishu/Lark workspace operations.
