What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you manage, inspect, sync, and troubleshoot Kubernetes applications using the argocd CLI while preventing common operator mistakes across multiple ArgoCD servers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context-safe operations: Ensures you switch the correct ArgoCD context (or use per-command flags) to avoid authentication targeting the wrong server.
• Status, logs, and resource inspection: Guides you to check app health/sync state, fetch live resources, and pull logs (including filtered and streamed output).
• Safe change management: Recommends diff-first workflows before sync, with guidance for targeted sync, rollback, and Argo Rollouts promotion flow.
• Troubleshooting patterns: Provides fixes for token/auth issues and common diff/sync confusion cases (like HPA ordering and expected image-tag-only diffs).

Quick Start

Tell the Skill: "Check app <APP_NAME> health and sync status on argocd.example.com, show the diff, and then run a standard sync for any safe changes."
