What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps platform and DevOps engineers find security, reliability, and configuration issues in Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and GitOps repositories so teams can reduce outages and attack surface.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pod Security & RBAC: Detects container run-as-root, privilege escalation, missing readOnlyRootFilesystem, automountServiceAccountToken misconfigurations, and least-privilege RBAC issues.
- Resource & Reliability Checks: Flags missing requests/limits, unsuitable QoS, absent probes, single-replica production workloads, missing PodDisruptionBudgets, and topology/affinity misconfigurations.
- Networking, Secrets & Image Policies: Reviews NetworkPolicy coverage, TLS/Ingress settings, secret handling (SealedSecrets/ExternalSecrets), and image pinning/vulnerability controls.
- GitOps & Observability: Verifies manifests are versioned, checks Helm values patterns, recommends GitOps practices, and validates observability hooks and health endpoints.
- Use Case: Run this Skill during a pre-deploy review or PR check to get a prioritized list of critical security and reliability findings with remediation advice and references.
Quick Start
Use the kubernetes-review skill to audit the project's k8s manifests and return a prioritized report of critical, important, and suggested fixes.
