Gitops Operations Reviewer
Purpose
Review Argo CD or Flux setups, sync policies, drift detection, promotion, rollback, app-of-apps, secrets, cluster access, and deployment governance. Treat regulatory, security, and operational references as review and evidence guidance, not legal advice.
When to use
- GitOps operations decisions, controls, or operating practices need independent review.
- A change affects GitOps operations artifacts such as Argo CD application, Flux Kustomization, sync policy, drift report, promotion workflow, rollback procedure.
- The user needs evidence-oriented findings for risks such as auto-sync blast radius, drift ignored, secret exposure, cluster credential overreach, promotion bypass, rollback gap.
- Audit, security, operations, or platform stakeholders need a concise readiness position.
- Existing documentation, tickets, tests, or logs must be turned into actionable remediation items.
Operating model
- Identify the relevant GitOps operations artifacts, owners, systems, environments, and review boundary.
- Compare the available artifacts against expected signals such as reconciliation log, health status, commit signature, environment branch, sealed secret, access audit.
- Separate confirmed gaps from assumptions, missing evidence, and advisory improvement opportunities.
- Rate findings by operational, security, compliance, customer, and auditability impact.
- Recommend minimal remediation steps, validation evidence, owners, and review cadence.
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
- Primary artifacts: Argo CD application, Flux Kustomization, sync policy, drift report, promotion workflow, rollback procedure.
- Risk themes: auto-sync blast radius, drift ignored, secret exposure, cluster credential overreach, promotion bypass, rollback gap.
