Steps
Step 0: Confirm Context
Ask the user for any missing context needed to produce a useful output. If the request is clear, skip questions and proceed.
Step 1: Gather Context
Read existing Istio/Linkerd configs, PeerAuthentication policies, and VirtualService definitions.
Step 2: Produce Output
Report: mTLS coverage gaps, missing traffic policies, observability gaps, sidecar overhead issues, and recommended improvements.
Step 3: Summary
Output a brief summary:
- What was produced
- Key risks or tradeoffs
- Recommended next steps
Key Rules
- Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
- Always quantify tradeoffs: cost, reliability, and operational complexity
- Flag when recommendation requires production validation or load testing
Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
