From kustomize
Customizes Kubernetes configurations without templates using Kustomize bases, overlays, patches, generators for configmaps/secrets, labels, images, and replicas. Includes build/apply commands and best practices.
npx claudepluginhub thebushidocollective/han --plugin kustomizeThis skill cannot use any tools. It operates in read-only mode without the ability to modify files or execute commands.
Kubernetes configuration customization without templates.
Manages environment-specific Kubernetes configurations using Kustomize overlays, strategic merge patches, and JSON patches for dev, staging, and prod.
Generates production-ready Kubernetes manifests for Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims following best practices and security standards. Use for creating K8s YAML resources or production configurations.
Guides step-by-step creation of production-ready Kubernetes manifests for Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims with best practices.
