ArgocdAppInstall

Create and manage ArgoCD ApplicationSets for new workloads using the Cafehyna multi-source template pattern.

ArgoCD App Install

Create ArgoCD ApplicationSets for new workloads following the Cafehyna multi-repository GitOps pattern. Uses the standardized TEMPLATE.yaml with list generator, multi-source Helm configuration, and Kustomize registration.

Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/ArgocdAppInstall/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

Voice Notification

When executing a workflow, do BOTH:

Send voice notification:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Running WORKFLOWNAME in ArgocdAppInstall"}' \
  > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Output text notification:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **ArgocdAppInstall** skill to ACTION...

Workflow Routing

Workflow	Trigger	File
CreateApplicationSet	"add service", "new applicationset", "deploy workload", "create appset"	`Workflows/CreateApplicationSet.md`
ValidateApplicationSet	"validate appset", "check applicationset", "verify deployment"	`Workflows/ValidateApplicationSet.md`

Examples

Example 1: Add a new monitoring service

User: "Add grafana-oncall to the ArgoCD platform"
-> Invokes CreateApplicationSet workflow
-> Copies TEMPLATE.yaml to grafana-oncall.yaml
-> Replaces placeholders (chart, repo, namespace, component)
-> Creates values files per cluster in argo-cd-helm-values/
-> Registers in kustomization.yaml
-> Runs pre-commit validation

Example 2: Validate an existing ApplicationSet

User: "Validate the robusta applicationset is correct"
-> Invokes ValidateApplicationSet workflow
-> Checks YAML syntax, cluster URLs, values file existence
-> Verifies kustomization.yaml registration
-> Reports any issues found

Example 3: Add service to specific clusters only

User: "Deploy phpmyadmin only to dev clusters"
-> Invokes CreateApplicationSet workflow
-> Removes production/hub clusters from generator list
-> Only includes cafehyna-dev, loyalty-dev entries
-> Ensures spot tolerations in dev values
