# Validate Kubernetes manifests against upstream schemas before cluster apply

Uses kubeconform to validate Kubernetes manifests against versioned schemas before anything touches a cluster. The agent can review rendered Helm output, raw manifests, or PR diffs and return invalid resources, missing schemas, and strict-mode failures without requiring live cluster credentials.

## Prerequisites

Kubernetes manifests plus the kubeconform binary

## Installation

No source-backed install or usage instructions could be extracted automatically. Review the upstream project before running this skill in a sensitive workflow.
