argocd-gitopsImplement GitOps with ArgoCD for declarative Kubernetes deployments.
Argocd Gitops is an agent skill from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. Implement GitOps with ArgoCD for declarative Kubernetes deployments. Configure applications, manage sync policies, implement progressive delivery, and automate deployments from Git repositories. Use when implementing GitOps workflows or continuous deployment to Kubernetes.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/argocd-patterns.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration and GitOps. It works with Argo CD, Kubernetes and Git. The repository describes itself as: Agent-ready DevOps, security, infrastructure, and compliance knowledge base with 80+ skills across Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP, AI platform operations, container… The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0365f57. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
argocdkubectlFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comkubernetes.default.svcraw.githubusercontent.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Argocd Gitops loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Implement GitOps with ArgoCD for declarative Kubernetes deployments. Argocd Gitops is an agent skill from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. Implement GitOps with ArgoCD for declarative Kubernetes deployments.
Argocd Gitops fits situations like: implementing GitOps workflows; continuous deployment to Kubernetes.
Run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill argocd-gitops -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (devops/orchestration/argocd-gitops in BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/argocd-gitops in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill argocd-gitops -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (devops/orchestration/argocd-gitops in BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/argocd-gitops in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill argocd-gitops -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/argocd-gitops, .gemini/skills/argocd-gitops, .github/skills/argocd-gitops and .opencode/skills/argocd-gitops in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Argocd Gitops needs the command-line tools its instructions call (argocd and kubectl).
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: github.com, kubernetes.default.svc and raw.githubusercontent.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Argocd Gitops is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 519 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Argocd Gitops: GitOps with ArgoCD and Flux (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Implementing Gitops (ancoleman/ai-design-components, 526 stars), Argocd Gitops (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars) and Building Gitops Workflows (jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace, 2.8k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
