argocd

argocd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from greedychipmunk/agent-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for deploying Kubernetes applications with Argo CD, a tool that keeps deployments aligned with files stored in Git.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing Argo CD applications, reviewing differences, syncing or creating applications, managing projects, and checking deployment health.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent process for viewing application status, previewing changes, syncing deployments, and managing access.

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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Argo CD

Use this skill to manage GitOps deployments with Argo CD declaratively and safely.

Quick Start

  1. Run argocd app list to see all applications and their sync status.
  2. Run argocd app diff <name> before any sync to preview what will change.
  3. Use argocd app sync <name> to trigger a deployment.
  4. Check argocd app get <name> for health and sync state after deploying.

Intent Router

  • resources/install-and-setup.md — install argocd CLI, login, env vars, initial setup
  • resources/command-cookbook.md — argocd app list/get/create/sync/diff/history/rollback commands
  • resources/application-management.md — Application CRD, sync policies, waves, hooks, health status
  • resources/rbac-and-projects.md — AppProject CRD, RBAC policies, SSO, multi-tenancy

Workflow

Deploy an Application

# Preview changes before syncing
argocd app diff my-app

# Sync a specific application
argocd app sync my-app

# Sync only specific resources
argocd app sync my-app --resource apps:Deployment:my-deployment

Create an Application

argocd app create my-app \
  --repo https://github.com/org/repo \
  --path k8s/overlays/production \
  --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
  --dest-namespace production \
  --sync-policy automated

Monitor Health

argocd app get my-app
argocd app history my-app
argocd app rollback my-app 3

Safety Guardrails

  • Always run argocd app diff <name> before argocd app sync to preview what will change in production.
  • Use --dry-run when creating or modifying Applications to validate configuration before committing.
  • Set syncPolicy.automated.prune: false initially; enable pruning only after verifying the resource list is correct.
  • Never share the argocd-initial-admin-secret — rotate the admin password immediately after first login.
  • Use AppProject sourceRepos and destinations to restrict what repositories and clusters each team can deploy to.
  • Use argocd app sync --resource <group:kind:name> to sync specific resources rather than triggering a full sync unnecessarily.
  • Store repository credentials as Kubernetes secrets, not as plain-text in Application manifests.

What ships with it

4 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.

argocd is a skill published in the GitHub repository greedychipmunk/agent-skills (17 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
