SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docker, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Local policy validation often requires dedicated CI setups or manual testing. This Skill enables running Kyverno policy validation locally using policy-platform containers, providing zero local setup and immediate feedback before code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-setup policy validation: Run all tools inside a single container, mirroring CI.
  • Multi-tool policy validation: Includes Kyverno CLI, Pluto for deprecations, Helm rendering, spectral validation, and yq YAML processing.
  • Use Case: Validate new policies against Kubernetes manifests locally before merging to ensure compliance.

Quick Start

Run the policy-platform container locally to validate policies without installing tools on your host.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Kyverno policies locally without installing the CLI?▼

You can validate Kyverno policies locally without installing the CLI by running a policy-platform container. This provides zero local setup and instant feedback on code changes.

Can I run Kubernetes policy validation in a container with Docker?▼

Yes, you can run Kubernetes policy validation in a container using Docker. The container executes Kyverno, Pluto, Helm, Spectral, and yq to mirror CI tooling locally.

What is the best way to test Kubernetes manifests against policies before merging?▼

The best way to test Kubernetes manifests against policies before merging is using a local container that provides CI-parity policy checks with immediate feedback on your code changes.

Do I need Docker to run local policy-as-code validation?▼

Yes, you need Docker to run local policy-as-code validation because the Skill relies on a policy-platform container to execute Kyverno and related tooling without host installations.

Does local Kyverno validation support Helm rendering and deprecation checks?▼

Yes, local Kyverno validation supports Helm rendering and deprecation checks. The container includes Pluto for deprecations, Helm rendering, Spectral validation, and yq YAML processing.
