argocd

argocd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that keeps Kubernetes applications matched to configuration stored in Git. Kubernetes is software for running and managing containers across servers, while Git records changes to files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to continuously deliver Kubernetes applications, deploy the same application to multiple clusters or folders, and run steps such as migrations and health checks around synchronization.
Why use it?
It reduces manual deployment work and makes the intended state of an application visible and reviewable in version control, while detecting differences in the running 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

argocd 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 5d ago.

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.

What it actually says

ArgoCD

ArgoCD is the industry standard for GitOps. It syncs the state of a Kubernetes cluster with a Git repository. 2025 features: ApplicationSets for multi-tenant management.

When to Use

  • Kubernetes CD: Continuous Delivery specifically for K8s.
  • GitOps: You want your cluster state (YAML) versioned in Git.
  • Drift Detection: ArgoCD alerts you if someone manually hacks kubectl edit in production.

Quick Start

# Application.yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: guestbook
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  project: default
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps.git
    targetRevision: HEAD
    path: guestbook
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
    namespace: guestbook

Core Concepts

Application

The link between a Git source and a K8s destination.

ApplicationSet

A generator that spawns multiple Application resources. Example: "Deploy every folder in this repo as an app" or "Deploy this app to every cluster".

Sync Phases

Pre-Sync (Schema migration), Sync (Deployment), Post-Sync (Health check).

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use ApplicationSets: The modern way to manage many apps.
  • Separate Config from Code: Keep app source code and K8s manifests in separate repos or at least separate folders.
  • Use "App of Apps": A bootstrap pattern where one root Argo app deploys all other apps.

Don't:

  • Don't manage Secrets in plain Git: Use Sealed Secrets, External Secrets Operator, or ArgoCD Vault Plugin.

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.
