What problem does it solve?
Managing Spinnaker from an AI session means context-switching to Gate REST docs or the UI while production deploys are in flight.
Who is it for?
Small teams with an existing Spinnaker install who want CD visibility and control from Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Solo builders on serverless-only hosts with no Spinnaker cluster, or beginners learning first deploys.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After setup, your agent can query and act on Spinnaker pipelines and deployments through authenticated Gate API tools.
