Load trigger: "load local-environment-simulation skill" > DORA: Cap 3 (AI-Accessible Internal Data) Token cost: Low

Purpose

Simulate PIPE, OBS, GitOps, and cluster behavior locally for fast feedback loops.

Responsibilities

• Run local PIPE simulation
• Run local OBS simulation
• Run local GitOps repo
• Run local kind/k3d cluster
• Validate local → GitOps → cluster flow

Inputs

• Project repo
• Local simulation config

Outputs

• local-sim-report.json

Sub-Skills

Skill	Purpose
local-environment-simulation/gitops-sim	Simulate GitOps updates locally
local-environment-simulation/cluster-sim	Run local K8s cluster

Simulation Flow

1. Code change → local build
2. Build → local image
3. Image → local GitOps update
4. GitOps → local cluster reconcile
5. Cluster → validate deployment

Tools

Tool	Purpose
kind	Local K8s cluster
k3d	Lightweight K8s cluster
Kustomize	Overlay rendering
Git CLI	Local GitOps

Rules

• Local simulation matches real pipeline behavior
• Fast feedback (< 5 minutes)
• No remote dependencies required
• Idempotent simulation

Success Criteria

• Local simulation matches real pipeline behavior
• Fast iteration cycles
• No remote dependencies for basic flows
