gitops-repo-audit
Audit and validate Flux CD GitOps repositories by scanning local repo files (not live clusters) — runs Kubernetes schema validation, detects deprecated Flux APIs, reviews RBAC/multi-tenancy/secrets management, and produces a prioritized GitOps report. Use when users ask to audit, analyze, validate, review, or security-check a GitOps repo.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines its scope (Flux CD GitOps repos, local files only), lists specific concrete actions (schema validation, deprecated API detection, RBAC review), and provides explicit trigger guidance with multiple natural user phrasings. The scoping clarification ('not live clusters') is a particularly strong touch that helps distinguish it from cluster-monitoring skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: Kubernetes schema validation, detecting deprecated Flux APIs, reviewing RBAC/multi-tenancy/secrets management, and producing a prioritized GitOps report. Also clarifies scope (local repo files, not live clusters). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (scan local repo files for schema validation, deprecated APIs, RBAC/multi-tenancy/secrets issues, produce prioritized report) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when users ask to audit, analyze, validate, review, or security-check a GitOps repo'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'audit', 'validate', 'analyze', 'review', 'security-check', 'GitOps repo', 'Flux CD'. Covers multiple variations of how a user might phrase their request. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive — targets a very specific niche (Flux CD GitOps repositories, local repo scanning). The combination of Flux CD, GitOps, and the specific validation actions makes it unlikely to conflict with general Kubernetes or code review skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality, well-structured skill that provides a clear multi-phase audit workflow with concrete commands, validation checkpoints, and excellent progressive disclosure to reference materials. The actionability is strong with specific scripts, file paths, and conditional logic. The main area for improvement is token efficiency — the large CRD reference table and some of the edge cases could potentially be moved to reference files to reduce the main skill's footprint.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is generally efficient and avoids explaining basic concepts Claude already knows, but the CRD reference table is quite large and could be offloaded to a reference file. The edge cases section, while useful, adds significant length that could be more tightly written. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable bash commands for each phase (discover.sh, validate.sh, check-deprecated.sh), specific file paths to check, exact field names to look for (e.g., `reconcile.fluxcd.io/watch: "Enabled"`), and a clear report structure with section templates. The guidance is specific and directly usable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The six-phase workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit dependencies (discovery before validation, validation before best practices assessment). Phase 2 validates manifests before deeper analysis, Phase 3 has a clear conditional branch (if deprecated APIs found → read migration guide), and the instruction to verify YAML changes against OpenAPI schemas before recommending them serves as a validation checkpoint. The adaptive depth guidance ('targeted question doesn't need full workflow') is a thoughtful addition. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent progressive disclosure structure: the main skill provides a clear overview and workflow, with well-signaled one-level-deep references to repo-patterns.md, best-practices.md, security-audit.md, api-migration.md, flux-api-summary.md, and flux-operator-api-summary.md. The 'Loading References' section clearly explains when to load each file. Schema files are organized in assets/schemas/ with a naming convention. | 3 / 3 |
