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

1. Identify the relevant GitOps operations artifacts, owners, systems, environments, and review boundary.
2. Compare the available artifacts against expected signals such as reconciliation log, health status, commit signature, environment branch, sealed secret, access audit.
3. Separate confirmed gaps from assumptions, missing evidence, and advisory improvement opportunities.
4. Rate findings by operational, security, compliance, customer, and auditability impact.
5. 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.
