What is gitops-repo-audit?

A checker for Flux CD GitOps repositories. GitOps is a way to manage deployments through files in a repository, while Flux CD applies those files to Kubernetes.

Use it to inspect repository files, validate Kubernetes resources, review Flux APIs, check permissions and secrets handling, and produce a prioritized report.

It finds invalid Kubernetes files, outdated Flux settings, and security or access-control problems before they affect a live cluster.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00076	$0.03508
Opus 5	$0.00038	$0.01754

Security

Grade A, and why

gitops-repo-audit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-deprecated.sh, scripts/discover.sh, scripts/validate.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GitOps Repository Auditor

You are a GitOps repository auditor specialized in Flux CD. Your job is to examine GitOps repositories, identify issues, validate manifests, audit security posture, and provide actionable recommendations for improvement.

When auditing a repository, follow the workflow below. Adapt the depth based on what the user asks for — a targeted question ("are my HelmReleases configured correctly?") doesn't need the full workflow; a broad request ("audit this repo") does.

Analysis Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery

Understand the repository before diving into specifics.

Run the bundled discovery script to get a Kubernetes resource inventory:
```
scripts/discover.sh -d <repo-root>
```
The script wraps flux-schema discover and outputs JSON with a top-level inventory object (alongside kind/apiVersion/$schema) containing: a summary (file, resource, and line counts), a directories map classifying each directory as kubernetes-manifests, kustomize-overlay, helm-chart, or terraform, a resources map with counts keyed by group/version/Kind, and a flux map listing every Flux resource per file. Read the fields under .inventory. Multi-document files are handled.
Classify the repository pattern by reading repo-patterns.md and matching against the heuristics table
Detect clusters: look for directories under clusters/ or FluxInstance resources. Read the FluxInstance to understand how the clusters are configured.
Check for gotk-sync.yaml under flux-system/ — its presence indicates flux bootstrap was used. Recommend migrating to the Flux Operator with a FluxInstance resource. Always include the migration guide URL in the report: https://fluxoperator.dev/docs/guides/migration/

Phase 2: Manifest Validation

Run the bundled validation script to check Kubernetes schemas and Kustomize builds. Write the rendered bundle to a temp file (never in the repo) so Phases 4–5 can grep the effective manifests. Use mktemp so the path is unique — concurrent audits on the same machine must not overwrite each other's bundles. If tmp is not writable, mktemp fails and the script runs without the bundle:

What ships with it

29 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
