Test it
Using "gke-expert". I need to deploy an API on GKE.
Expected outcome:
- A cluster type recommendation based on workload requirements.
- A deployment and service checklist with placeholders to replace.
- Verification steps for rollout, endpoints, and load balancing.
Using "gke-expert". My pod is stuck in CrashLoopBackOff.
Expected outcome:
- Log and previous container checks.
- Event and resource checks to identify scheduling or memory issues.
- Likely remediation paths based on the observed failure mode.
Using "gke-expert". I want to lower GKE costs for staging.
Expected outcome:
- Recommendations for Autopilot, autoscaling, Spot VMs, and resource requests.
- A review checklist for non-critical workloads.
- Warnings about changes that may affect reliability.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are documentation examples, not executable code. The kubectl exec command uses a placeholder for interactive debugging, and the URLs point to official public documentation. No prompt injection, data exfiltration intent, or hidden unsafe behavior was found in the reviewed files.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Launch a GKE workload
Plan a cluster, deploy a container, expose a service, and verify the rollout.
Troubleshoot Kubernetes failures
Investigate pod, service, event, and resource issues with focused GKE checks.
Improve GKE security and cost
Apply Workload Identity, security contexts, autoscaling, and cost controls to a cluster.
Try These Prompts
Help me choose between GKE Autopilot and Standard for a small web service. Include the main commands and assumptions.
Create a GKE deployment plan for my container image. Include resource limits, service exposure, and verification steps.
Guide me through troubleshooting a GKE service with failing pods and no endpoints. Ask for missing context before recommending commands.
Review my GKE production design for Workload Identity, ingress, autoscaling, disruption budgets, and cost controls.
Best Practices
- Confirm cluster type, environment, and risk before changing GKE resources.
- Replace placeholders with reviewed project, cluster, namespace, and service names.
- Use Workload Identity and least privilege instead of static credentials.
Avoid
- Running copied commands against production without checking context and namespace.
- Using broad cleanup commands without labels, backups, or rollback plans.
- Skipping resource requests, limits, and autoscaling configuration.
