# Kubernetes Manifest Generator

Step-by-step guidance for creating production-ready Kubernetes manifests including Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims.

## Purpose

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for generating well-structured, secure, and production-ready Kubernetes manifests following cloud-native best practices and Kubernetes conventions.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- Create new Kubernetes Deployment manifests
- Define Service resources for network connectivity
- Generate ConfigMap and Secret resources for configuration management
- Create PersistentVolumeClaim manifests for stateful workloads
- Follow Kubernetes best practices and naming conventions
- Implement resource limits, health checks, and security contexts
- Design manifests for multi-environment deployments

## Step-by-Step Workflow

### 1. Gather Requirements

**Understand the workload:**
- Application type (stateless/stateful)
- Container image and version
- Environment variables and configuration needs
- Storage requirements
- Network exposure requirements (internal/external)
- Resource requirements (CPU, memory)
- Scaling requirements
- Health check endpoints

**Questions to ask:**
- What is the application name and purpose?
- What container image and tag will be used?
- Does the application need persistent storage?
- What ports does the application expose?
- Are there any secrets or configuration files needed?
- What are the CPU and memory requirements?
- Does the application need to be exposed externally?

### 2. Create Deployment Manifest

**Follow this structure:**

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: <app-name>
  namespace: <namespace>
  labels:
    app: <app-name>
    version: <version>
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: <app-name>
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: <app-name>
        version: <version>
    spec:
      containers:
      - name:
