OpenChoreo Platform-Engineer GitOps Guide

Git is the source of truth; the cluster is its reflection. This skill writes OpenChoreo platform resources to Git, lets Flux CD reconcile them, and reads cluster state with occ to verify.

This skill is scoped to platform-engineer GitOps work — initial scaffold + ongoing platform authoring. Application-level GitOps (Project / Component / Workload / ComponentRelease / ReleaseBinding) and non-GitOps cluster operations (Helm install, direct CRD edits) are out of scope; tell the user when a task crosses that boundary.

Step 0 — Prerequisites

occ must be configured against the target cluster:

command -v occ && occ config context list      # occ configured? which control plane?
occ namespace list                              # cluster reachable + logged in?

If occ points at the wrong control plane, or occ login / occ namespace list fails, configure it for the target before proceeding. Details: CLI Configuration and CLI Installation → Login.
