SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of fragmented visibility in complex Kubernetes environments by synthesizing architectural and security data into a unified context for review agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Mapping: Automatically identifies core components, workloads, and infrastructure dependencies.
  • Security Contextualization: Categorizes resources into infrastructure or application tiers and identifies global compensating controls like service meshes or policy engines.
  • Use Case: Before performing a deep-dive security audit, use this skill to generate a high-level summary of the cluster's attack surface and existing defensive posture.

Quick Start

Use the review-security-k8s-understand skill to analyze the current repository and summarize the architectural components and security controls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build architectural context for a Kubernetes security review?

To build architectural context for a Kubernetes security review, analyze the project architecture to identify core components, workloads, and infrastructure dependencies. This synthesizes fragmented cluster data into a unified security posture summary for informed threat modeling.

What is the best way to map Kubernetes workload categories for a security audit?

Mapping Kubernetes workload categories for a security audit involves categorizing resources into infrastructure and application tiers. This process identifies global compensating controls like service meshes or policy engines to accurately evaluate the cluster's defensive posture.

How do I identify compensating controls in a Kubernetes infrastructure before threat modeling?

Identifying compensating controls in Kubernetes infrastructure requires analyzing system components across infrastructure and application layers. This evaluation discovers global security mechanisms like service meshes and policy engines that mitigate potential attack surfaces.

When do I need to generate a high-level summary of my Kubernetes cluster's attack surface?

You need to generate a high-level summary of your Kubernetes cluster's attack surface before performing a deep-dive security audit. This architectural mapping provides essential context by evaluating workload categorization and existing defensive posture.

Does this Kubernetes security analysis evaluate both infrastructure and application layers?

Yes, this Kubernetes security analysis evaluates both infrastructure and application layers. It categorizes resources into these tiers to identify global compensating controls and facilitate comprehensive threat modeling across the entire environment.
