FluxCD Skill

FluxCD is the standard GitOps tool for Kubernetes. It continuously reconciles desired state from Git repositories with actual cluster state. Use this skill when:

• Analyzing and fixing pod/deployment issues in Flux-managed clusters
• Debugging webhook receivers and automation flows
• Optimizing image automation and deployment strategies
• Understanding cluster state and reconciliation status
