Kingdon Skills

Open-source Agent Skills for rapid deployment of Kubernetes monitoring expertise. Built for teams that need to move fast without extensive training cycles.

What This Is

A curated collection of Claude Agent Skills designed to enable entire teams to effectively monitor and operate Flux + Crossplane environments with Prometheus and AlertManager, without requiring weeks of specialized training.

Skills Included

Quick Start

  1. Clone this repository into your project
  2. Reload your Claude editor to activate skills
  3. Use natural language to activate skills:
    • "Check Flux status" → Validates GitOps and MCP server setup
    • "Check Prometheus status" → Activates monitoring analysis
    • "Install AlertManager" → Guides through installation
    • "Adapt metrics for Crossplane" → Configures resource monitoring

Design Philosophy

Narrative-Driven: Skills tell stories around tools and processes, making complex knowledge accessible.

Orthogonal: Each skill serves a distinct purpose without overlapping functionality.

Rapid Deployment: Enable expertise sharing without formal training programs.

Architecture

Uses .github/skills/ instead of .claude/skills/ for git-based distribution across teams. Each skill includes:

  • Progressive Disclosure: Core guidance under 500 lines with supporting files
  • Tool Restrictions: Appropriate permissions per skill type
  • Embedded Examples: Practical demonstrations over abstract templates
  • Validation Patterns: Success criteria and quality checks

Use Cases

  • Platform Teams: Rapidly onboard monitoring capabilities across services
  • DevOps Engineers: Validate and troubleshoot existing monitoring setups
  • Crossplane Operators: Extend monitoring to custom resource types
  • Flux Users: Implement complete monitoring stack following official guides

We've integrated the excellent TDG (Test-Driven Generation) skills from https://github.com/chanwit/tdg as reference implementations and for immediate use.

These skills demonstrate proper formatting and patterns that we follow in our own skill development.
