What problem does it solve?

This skill enables safe expansion, replacement, or reconfiguration of nodes in the Anton Talos-based Kubernetes cluster, including scaffolding, patch generation, and applying changes via talosctl.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Workflow A: add a brand-new node with per-node patches and config rendering.
• Workflow B: replace a dead node with a hardware replacement while preserving etcd quorum.
• Workflow C: rename/remove a node, performing cleanup and config adjustments.
• Includes safety hard rules and verification guidance for post-join health checks.

Quick Start

Provision a new node, update the Talos config, render the machine configs, and push them with talosctl.
