gitops-workflows

gitops-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (414 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to GitOps deployments with Argo CD and Flux CD, where Git stores the intended Kubernetes configuration. It also covers gradual releases and keeping secrets out of plain-text Git files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage multiple clusters, synchronize environments, encrypt or reference secrets, and roll out canary or blue-green releases.
Why use it?
It reduces configuration differences between environments and addresses the risk of committing unprotected credentials to a repository.

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

gitops-workflows 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 8d 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

GitOps Workflows & Progressive Delivery

1. Skill Context

Focus: ArgoCD, FluxCD, declarative infrastructure, secrets management, and progressive delivery (Canary/Blue-Green). Triggers: argocd setup, gitops workflow, multi-cluster gitops, manage secrets gitops, progressive delivery

2. Deep GitOps Mechanics

The agent must treat Git as the absolute source of truth for the entire Kubernetes state.

Multi-Environment Synchronization

  • App of Apps Pattern (ArgoCD): Managing a root application that recursively deploys other applications to bootstrap entire clusters from scratch.
  • Branching Strategies: Environment-per-branch (legacy) vs Environment-per-folder (recommended). Promoting configurations via Pull Requests from overlays/staging to overlays/production.

Managing Secrets in GitOps

  • The Problem: Committing raw Kubernetes Secrets to Git is a critical security vulnerability.
  • Solutions:
    • Sealed Secrets (Bitnami): Asymmetric encryption where the public key encrypts the manifest, and only the cluster holds the private decryption key.
    • External Secrets Operator (ESO): GitOps manages the reference to a secret in AWS Secrets Manager / HashiCorp Vault. The operator fetches the real value and injects it into a native K8s Secret at runtime.

Progressive Delivery

  • Flagger / Argo Rollouts: Moving beyond basic Rolling Updates. Incrementally shifting traffic (e.g., 5%, 10%, 50%) to the new version using an Ingress Controller/Service Mesh (Istio, Nginx) while continuously querying Prometheus metrics to ensure the new version is healthy before proceeding.

3. Output Format

  • Provide Kustomize or Helm directory structures for multi-env GitOps.
  • Output ArgoCD Application or ApplicationSet YAMLs.
  • Explain the reconciliation loop and drift detection mechanisms.
Files

What ships with it

3 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.
