An Istio traffic-management guide for controlling how services communicate inside a service mesh, including routing, load balancing, retries, and circuit breakers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure VirtualServices, DestinationRules, gateways, canary or blue-green deployments, traffic mirroring, retries, and fault injection.
Why use it?
It helps teams control and protect service-to-service traffic, including gradual releases and responses to failing services.

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

istio-traffic-management 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.

Istio Traffic Management

Comprehensive guide to Istio traffic management for production service mesh deployments.

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to istio traffic management
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.

Use this skill when

  • Configuring service-to-service routing
  • Implementing canary or blue-green deployments
  • Setting up circuit breakers and retries
  • Load balancing configuration
  • Traffic mirroring for testing
  • Fault injection for chaos engineering

Core Concepts

1. Traffic Management Resources

Resource Purpose Scope
VirtualService Route traffic to destinations Host-based
DestinationRule Define policies after routing Service-based
Gateway Configure ingress/egress Cluster edge
ServiceEntry Add external services Mesh-wide

2. Traffic Flow

Client → Gateway → VirtualService → DestinationRule → Service
                   (routing)        (policies)        (pods)

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.
