# Kubernetes > Manage Kubernetes clusters, resources, and troubleshooting. Use when tasks involve kubectl operations, manifest changes, diagnostics, or Kubernetes-native agent deployments. Prioritize kubectl, Kubernetes docs, and AgentGateway Kubernetes docs. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/kubernetes-31` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/kubernetes-31` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/kubernetes-31/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: DevOps & Infra - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/kubernetes-31 --- # Kubernetes Skills Use this skill for Kubernetes cluster management, workload operations, and troubleshooting. ## Workflow 1. Use `kubectl` for standard operations. 2. For follow-up repo troubleshooting, read the latest relevant entries in `tmp/agent-handoff.md` before starting new cluster triage so prior findings and failed paths are not repeated. 3. If available, use Kubernetes MCP tools for deeper cluster insight. 4. Read [upstream-current.md](./references/upstream-current.md) when the task touches version-sensitive Kubernetes, HPA behavior, or AgentGateway-on-Kubernetes. 5. Use `https://agentgateway.dev/docs/kubernetes/latest/` for AgentGateway-on-Kubernetes setup, configuration, and runtime troubleshooting. 6. Use official Kubernetes docs (`https://kubernetes.io/docs`) and `kubectl` help for core API behavior. 7. For troubleshooting, inspect events, pod status, `describe`, and logs before suggesting architectural changes. ## Tooling - Use `kubectl` via terminal. - Use Kubernetes MCP server (if configured). - Prioritize documentation in this order: AgentGateway Kubernetes docs for gateway-specific tasks, then official Kubernetes docs. --- > Source: [Shkirmantsev/AgenticNativePlatform](https://github.com/Shkirmantsev/AgenticNativePlatform) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
