SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires flux, flux-schema, kustomize, kubectl, helm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you audit Flux CD GitOps repositories end to end, catching manifest errors, deprecated APIs, insecure patterns, and structural issues before they reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository Discovery: Classifies the repo layout, detects clusters, and identifies Flux, Kustomize, Helm, and fleet-management patterns.
  • Validation and Compliance: Checks Kubernetes schemas, deprecated Flux API versions, dependency chains, and best-practice gaps across manifests and overlays.
  • Security Review: Reviews secrets handling, RBAC, source authentication, multi-tenancy controls, and image automation safety.
  • Use Case: Use it when you need a clear, prioritized report on whether a GitOps repo is healthy, secure, and ready to operate.

Quick Start

Use the gitops-repo-audit skill to inspect the repository, validate its Flux manifests, and produce a prioritized report of security, compliance, and operational findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a Flux GitOps repository for security and configuration issues?

To audit a Flux GitOps repository, you inspect local repository trees containing Flux resources, Kustomize overlays, and Helm releases. The process validates Kubernetes schemas, detects deprecated Flux APIs, and reviews RBAC, secrets handling, and source authentication to produce a prioritized report of operational findings.

What does a Flux CD security review cover for multi-cluster layouts?

A Flux CD security review for multi-cluster layouts covers source authentication, multi-tenancy controls, RBAC, and secrets handling. It also evaluates image automation safety and fleet-management patterns to ensure your repository configuration is secure and ready to operate.

How do I validate Kustomize overlays and deprecated Flux API versions?

Validating Kustomize overlays and deprecated Flux API versions requires applying Flux schema validation and rendered overlay inspection to your repository tree. This identifies manifest errors, dependency chain issues, and best-practice gaps across your GitOps configuration before it reaches production.

Do I need Helm and Kustomize installed to inspect my GitOps repo?

Inspecting your GitOps repo requires a local environment with Flux, Helm, Kustomize, and kubectl dependencies installed. These tools enable the repository discovery process to classify layouts, detect clusters, and render Helm releases and Kustomize overlays for validation.

What is the best way to check Flux image automation safety in a GitOps fleet?

The best way to check Flux image automation safety in a GitOps fleet is to perform a dedicated security review of the repository. This examines the image automation configurations alongside source authentication and multi-tenancy controls to catch insecure patterns before deployment.

Why does my Flux GitOps audit report show manifest errors in Kustomize dependencies?

Your Flux GitOps audit report shows manifest errors because the audit checks Kubernetes schemas and dependency chains across manifests and Kustomize overlays. It identifies validation gaps, deprecated Flux API versions, and structural issues in your local repository tree.
