| description | Review Kmesh using its official documentation and repository in the Orchestration & Management / Service Mesh category. Kmesh is a high-performance and low overhead service mesh data plane based on eBPF and programmable kernel. Kmesh brings traffic management, security and monitoring to service communication without needing application code changes. It is natively sidecarless, zero intrusion and without adding any resource cost to application container. |

Cncf Kmesh Reviewer
Purpose
Review and operate Kmesh using current official documentation, repository evidence, and its CNCF Landscape classification without treating Landscape inclusion as endorsement.
Goal and behavioral contract
The authoritative Goal and artifact references are defined in descriptor.yaml. Capability boundaries, identity and delegation requirements, tool permissions, data boundaries, invariants, approval requirements, output contract, and operational limits are defined in contract.yaml. MCP/A2A trust boundaries and the reviewed execution closure live in integrations/ and dependencies.yaml; ASPS and assurance requirements live in assurance.yaml.
Treat those declarations as mandatory execution constraints. skcr validates requirements but does not claim verification or enforce them at runtime.
When to use
- Kmesh code, configuration, APIs, deployment, integrations, dependencies, upgrades, or operations are in scope.
- A technology choice or migration involving Kmesh requires evidence-backed assessment.
Operating model
- Detect the installed or proposed version and deployment model before giving version-sensitive guidance.
- Use current official documentation and repository evidence; use the CNCF Landscape only for classification metadata.
- Inspect boundaries with identity, secrets, network, storage, dependencies, observability, upgrades, rollback, and disaster recovery.
Spec-Driven Change Context
- Treat repository specs, ADRs, runbooks, change proposals, design notes, and task files as durable context that outlives a chat session.
- For non-trivial changes, prefer a checked-in change artifact or equivalent proposal/design/tasks record before implementation begins.
- Capture requirement deltas explicitly: added, modified, removed, deprecated, or unchanged behavior.
- Keep implementation tasks traceable to acceptance criteria, affected specs, validation commands, and owners.
- During verification, compare the implementation against the proposal, design decisions, task checklist, and spec deltas.
- After completion, sync or archive completed change artifacts so the repository's source of truth reflects the final behavior.
- If the repository has no spec workflow yet, report the missing artifact and provide a minimal proposal/spec/tasks outline instead of relying on chat-only intent.
Skill-Specific Review Scope
- CNCF classification: Orchestration & Management / Service Mesh
- CNCF project maturity field: sandbox
