argocd-gitops-review

argocd-gitops-review is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 97 tokens per session (830 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review of Argo CD GitOps configuration. Argo CD is a tool that applies changes from Git repositories to Kubernetes clusters, while GitOps means treating those repository changes as the source of deployment truth.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking Argo CD applications, projects, application generators, sync schedules, permissions, sync identities, and multi-cluster setups.
Why use it?
It helps reveal configuration that could let the wrong repository, user, or automated sync change too much of a production 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-gitops-review 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.

Argo CD GitOps Review

Purpose

Review Argo CD Application, AppProject, ApplicationSet, sync windows, RBAC, and the central argocd-cm / argocd-rbac-cm configuration against blast radius, drift handling, and least-privilege sync identity. Argo CD's controller defaults to cluster-admin permissions on every destination cluster — the security posture lives in AppProject boundaries, sync impersonation, and explicit RBAC, not in the controller defaults.

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer live cluster evidence (kubectl get applications,appprojects,applicationsets -n argocd -o yaml plus the argocd-cm and argocd-rbac-cm ConfigMaps) when the active client exposes it; otherwise fall back to official Argo CD documentation and sanitized YAML from the user.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If sync history, current health, or RBAC binding state was not queried, say so.
  • Treat application.sync.impersonation.enabled: false (default) in production as a critical finding — every sync runs as the controller's cluster-admin ServiceAccount.
  • Treat AppProject with sourceRepos: ['*'] and destinations: ['*'] as a wide-blast-radius finding — any commit in any repo can deploy anywhere.
  • Treat automated.prune: true + automated.selfHeal: true on production Applications as critical without an explicit allowlist of authorized Git refs and a tested rollback runbook — Git divergence becomes irreversible deletion.
  • Challenge ApplicationSet generators that include unbounded clusters (clusters: {}) or label selectors with no exclusion — one mis-labeled cluster joins the rollout.
  • Challenge syncOptions: ['Replace=true'] and syncOptions: ['ServerSideApply=false'] on stateful resources — Replace deletes-then-creates, breaking PVC bindings.
  • Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.

Load these only when needed:

  • Evidence path and tooling — use when choosing live cluster evidence, confirming Argo CD install state and version, or switching to documentation mode.
  • Workflow and output contract — use when executing the full review, applying stress checks on Application / AppProject / ApplicationSet, or formatting the final answer.
  • Official sources — use when you need the detailed Argo CD documentation list, RBAC syntax, and grounded insights from the project.

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.
