Kubernetes Debugging Skill
Systematic diagnosis of pod failures, networking issues, and resource problems using a structured triage flow: describe, logs, events, exec.
Reference Loading Table
| Signal | Reference | Size |
|---|---|---|
| CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, config error, health check, liveness probe, ImagePullBackOff, image pull, registry auth, Pending, FailedScheduling, node affinity, taint, PVC | references/crash-diagnosis.md |
~140 lines |
| service resolution, DNS, nslookup, CoreDNS, port-forward, NetworkPolicy, ingress, egress | references/network-debugging.md |
~50 lines |
| CPU throttling, memory limit, OOMKill, ephemeral storage, DiskPressure, debug container, distroless, kubectl reference, rollout, exec | references/resource-debugging.md |
~100 lines |
Load greedily. If the user's question touches any signal keyword, load the matching reference before responding. Multiple signals matching = load all matching references.
Instructions
Triage Flow
Follow this sequence for every pod or workload issue. Do not skip steps -- many failures (scheduling, image pull, volume mount) are only visible in events and describe output, not in logs, so jumping straight to logs misses them.
