Audit and validate Flux CD GitOps repositories by scanning local repo files (not live clusters) — runs Kubernetes schema validation, detects deprecated Flux APIs, reviews RBAC/multi-tenancy/secrets management, and produces a prioritized GitOps report. Use when users ask to audit, analyze, validate, review, or security-check a GitOps repo.
Debug and troubleshoot Flux CD on live Kubernetes clusters (not local repo files) via the Flux MCP server — inspects Flux resource status, reads controller logs, traces dependency chains, and performs installation health checks. Use when users report failing, stuck, or not-ready Flux resources on a cluster, reconciliation errors, controller issues, artifact pull failures, image automation not updating tags, alerts or webhooks not being delivered, or need live cluster Flux Operator troubleshooting.
Flux CD and Flux Operator expert — answers questions and generates schema-validated YAML for all Flux CRDs (not repo auditing or live cluster debugging). Use when users ask about Flux concepts, want manifests for HelmRelease, Kustomization, GitRepository, OCIRepository, ResourceSet, FluxInstance, or any Flux resource. When user needs guidance on GitOps repository structure, bootstrap Flux with Terraform, multi-tenancy, OCI-based delivery, image tag automation, drift detection, preview environments, notifications, or the Flux Web UI and MCP Server.
Run the upstream Flux controller minor release procedure for helm-controller, image-automation-controller, image-reflector-controller, kustomize-controller, notification-controller, source-controller, and source-watcher. Use when cutting a new controller minor release (vX.Y.0): creating the release series branch, drafting the minor changelog, tagging, merging the release branch back to main, and adding the backport label.
Run the upstream Flux controller patch release procedure for helm-controller, image-automation-controller, image-reflector-controller, kustomize-controller, notification-controller, source-controller, and source-watcher. Use when preparing a new controller patch release from a release series branch, drafting changelog entries, tagging releases, and opening the follow-up changelog PRs back to main.
Add an `Assisted-by: <agent-name>/<model-id>` git trailer to commits made during an AI-assisted coding session. Trigger on any `git commit` activity visible in the session — either commits you make yourself, or commits the user makes outside your tool calls that surface in the conversation — even without an explicit request. Also trigger when the user explicitly asks to tag existing commits in a branch (e.g. "add assisted-by to commits in this branch").
