GKE Basics
Managed Kubernetes platform on Google Cloud. Defaults to Autopilot mode.
Quick Start
gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com --quiet
gcloud container clusters create-auto my-cluster --region=us-central1 --quiet
gcloud container clusters get-credentials my-cluster --region=us-central1 --quiet
GKE Skill Routing Table
Load the single, most specific GKE sub-skill below matching your workload
requirements. Do not load multiple GKE skills unless explicitly required.

Conceptual & Informational Queries (CRITICAL)
For purely conceptual, educational, or informational questions (e.g. "What is
GKE?", "Explain GKE architecture", or "Compare Standard vs Autopilot" in a
generic sense):
- Rule: Answer immediately using your pre-trained knowledge.
- Constraint: Do not execute code searches, directory listings, or other
tool calls unless the user explicitly requests you to inspect the local
workspace or run a command. Keep it fast, cheap, and direct.
