What problem does it solve?
Kubernetes/OpenShift pods can fail in various ways, and triaging them manually is time-consuming. This skill provides a structured, repeatable approach to identify root causes and propose remediation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- CrashLoopBackOff triage: analyze current and previous container logs and pod events to determine why a container restarts.
- ImagePullBackOff triage: verify image references, registry access, and imagePullSecrets to resolve image pull issues.
- Pending / Init:Error triage: inspect scheduling constraints, resource requests, taints, node selectors, and PVC binding when a pod cannot start.
- Remediation guidance: output concrete commands or manifest changes to fix the issue, with safety warnings for destructive actions.
- Context awareness: applies across OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters, namespaces, and common workload scenarios.
Quick Start
Triaging a non-running pod: collect status and events, identify the failure mode, and provide actionable remediation steps.
