k8s-workload-troubleshooting

90 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

By k8s-servant/k8s-skills (GitHub) · devops · 38 stars · scanned at commit 74d5a21

Use when a pod or workload is unhealthy in Kubernetes: pods stuck in Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff or ErrImagePull, containers OOMKilled (exit code 137), failing liveness, readiness or startup probes, pods Running but not Ready, a Deployment rollout that does not progress (ProgressDeadlineExceeded), or a Job or CronJob that fails. Investigates with kubectl get, describe, logs and events, and proposes fixes. Reads first and asks before changing anything.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.
