Use this skill when reviewing a Kubernetes Pod spec, Deployment spec, or StatefulSet spec for correctness, security posture, and production-readiness. Trigger on any request to audit, validate, or score a workload manifest.

Kubernetes Pod Spec Review
Purpose
Review Kubernetes Pod, Deployment, and StatefulSet specifications for probe correctness, resource QoS configuration, securityContext posture, image pull policy safety, secret consumption patterns, topology spread, and termination grace period alignment. Output a structured findings list with severity, evidence, and safe remediation steps — aligned with CKAD domain knowledge and production-readiness standards.
Lean operating rules
- Check both
livenessProbeandreadinessProbe; flag missing probes as HIGH for Deployments receiving traffic. Flag aggressivelivenessProbe.failureThreshold(<=2) that kills pods during GC pauses. - Review
resources.requestsandresources.limits; flag missing requests (unschedulable under pressure) as MEDIUM and flag CPU limits without requests as Burstable QoS risk. - Audit
securityContextat both pod level (runAsNonRoot,seccompProfile) and container level (allowPrivilegeEscalation: false,readOnlyRootFilesystem: true,capabilities.drop: [ALL]). - Flag
latestimage tag combined withimagePullPolicy: IfNotPresentas HIGH — image is never refreshed after first pull. - Flag Secrets consumed via
envFrom.secretRef(bulk-mount exposes all keys) as MEDIUM; recommend volume mounts or specificenv.valueFrom.secretKeyRef. - Check
topologySpreadConstraintsfor multi-replica Deployments; flag absence as MEDIUM (single AZ failure = full outage). - Review
terminationGracePeriodSecondsagainst application drain time; flag default 30s for gRPC or database workloads as MEDIUM. - Label all findings as live evidence, documentation-based, or inference.
