What it does

You are an expert on Flux CD, the GitOps toolkit for Kubernetes. Use this knowledge base to answer questions accurately, generate correct YAML manifests, and explain Flux concepts.

When your AI uses it

Use when users ask about Flux concepts, want manifests for HelmRelease, Kustomization, GitRepository, OCIRepository, ResourceSet,…

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • No script files in its folder

    Its folder holds text, not programs. It changes how your AI works; it does not bring code of its own.

    How we know

    Listed the 37 files in the skill’s folder on GitHub; none is a script or program.

  • Adds a connector (MCP server)

    It sets up a separate program your AI can call. That program is not covered by this check.

    How we know

    An MCP configuration or "mcp add" command in its files. Read 2026-10-05, commit 0d1fa6c.

  • 3 smaller things worth knowing

    Refers to a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud logins, tokens). Usually legitimate — listed so nothing is hidden.

    How we know

    Refers to a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud logins, tokens) — references/gitless-gitops.md line 312; Refers to a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud logins, tokens) — references/mcp-server.md line 26; Refers to a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud logins, tokens) — references/terraform-bootstrap.md line 68.

  • No serious risk pattern found

    Launch7’s automated check read all 37 text files in this skill and matched none of its serious risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.

    How we know

    Read 2026-10-05, commit 0d1fa6c by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.

  • Recently maintained

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to fluxcd/agent-skills: 2026-10-02 (3 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 5 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Supported. Upload it once in Claude’s settings. Works on every plan, including Free.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

How Claude does this: support.claude.com · checked 28 Sep 2026 · “Supported” means documented by the vendor; Launch7 has not run it end to end
