kubernetes-deployment is a Claude Code skill that provides a phased workflow for deploying applications to Kubernetes with Helm, service mesh, security, and observability.
About
kubernetes-deployment is a Claude Code workflow for deploying applications to Kubernetes. It walks through seven phases: container prep, K8s manifests, Helm charts, service mesh, security, observability, and GitOps deployment. Each phase names sub-skills to invoke and gives copy-paste prompts, ending with a quality-gate checklist. A developer uses it to go from a Dockerfile to a monitored, GitOps-deployed cluster.
- 7-phase Kubernetes deployment workflow (containers, manifests, Helm, service mesh, security, observability, deploy)
- Chains other skills like docker-expert, k8s-manifest-generator, helm-chart-scaffolding, and gitops-workflow
- Includes copy-paste prompts and a per-phase quality-gate checklist
