SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI agents often struggle to configure and operate Okteto-powered development environments. This skill guides the agent to read okteto.yaml, infer services, and orchestrate deployment and development workflows without manual steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover services and configuration directly from okteto.yaml without hardcoding names.
  • Enforce collaborative vs autonomous operating modes with clear guardrails.
  • Deploy full environments using okteto deploy --wait and expose endpoints with okteto endpoints.
  • Guide the developer to start development with okteto up in collaborative mode, and manage per-worktree namespace isolation.
  • Support end-to-end workflows for debugging, testing, and iterative development across branches.

Quick Start

Read the project's okteto.yaml, deploy the full environment with okteto deploy --wait, and then guide the developer to start development with okteto up.

Frequently Asked Questions about okteto

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Okteto deployment and configuration using AI agents?▼

AI agents automate Okteto deployment by reading okteto.yaml to infer services and orchestrating workflows with okteto deploy --wait, eliminating manual environment configuration steps.

How does collaborative debugging work with Okteto development environments?▼

Collaborative debugging in Okteto uses okteto up in collaborative mode, enabling shared development environments while enforcing one-namespace-per-worktree isolation for parallel branch work.

Can AI agents use kubectl for Okteto environment management?▼

No, Okteto enforces operational rules requiring agents to use okteto deploy/build/test/exec commands instead of local kubectl, ensuring proper development environment orchestration.

What is the best way to run parallel Okteto development environments across branches?▼

Running parallel Okteto environments requires enforcing one-namespace-per-worktree isolation, enabling autonomous development across multiple branches while reading service configurations from okteto.yaml.

Why should I not run okteto up in autonomous mode?▼

Running okteto up in autonomous mode is prohibited by operational guardrails because it requires interactive developer engagement for collaborative debugging, whereas autonomous mode handles deployment and testing tasks.
