Explains the KubeSphere DevOps extension: Jenkins-based CI/CD, ArgoCD GitOps, how DevOps projects map to namespaces, and project naming rules.

  • Setting up a CI/CD pipeline in KubeSphere DevOps
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, Core Concepts and Installation, plus 8 more sections
  • Calls kubectl and helm
  • Configuring the Jenkins integration or SonarQube checks

What it does

This skill explains the KubeSphere DevOps extension, which provides CI/CD through Jenkins and supports both graphical pipeline editing and Jenkinsfile pipelines, with ArgoCD integration for GitOps deployment across clusters. It covers setting up pipelines, configuring the Jenkins integration, managing DevOps projects, troubleshooting runs, connecting GitHub, GitLab or SVN repositories and configuring SonarQube for code quality.

Its core idea is resource mapping across KubeSphere, Kubernetes and Jenkins. A KubeSphere DevOps project is really a Kubernetes namespace carrying the `devops.kubesphere.io/managed=true` label, with the DevOpsProject resource as a wrapper, so tenants should list accessible projects through the workspace namespaces endpoint, because the cluster-scoped DevOpsProject endpoint returns 403 for them. Projects also have a short display name and a longer generated full name; API calls use the full name, and when a short name matches several projects the agent asks you to confirm which one.

Projects are tied to a workspace by a label, which the skill shows in YAML. The text available here ends at that point, so later topics such as pipeline troubleshooting steps are not described.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a CI/CD pipeline in KubeSphere DevOps
  • Configuring the Jenkins integration or SonarQube checks
  • Finding which DevOps projects a tenant can access
  • Troubleshooting a failed pipeline run

Example prompts

  • “List the DevOps projects my workspace can access and show their full names.”
  • “Why does the devopsprojects endpoint return 403 for my tenant account?”
  • “Help me connect a GitLab repository to a KubeSphere pipeline.”
  • “Our pipeline run keeps failing at the SonarQube step. Where should I start?”

Requirements

  • A KubeSphere installation with the DevOps extension enabled

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04a29b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • kubectl
    • helm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.kubesphere.io
    • jenkins.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

KubeSphere DevOps Overview loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 660 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 660 words (~3,128 tokens).

“KubeSphere DevOps provides CI/CD capabilities through Jenkins integration, supporting both graphical pipeline editing and Jenkinsfile-based pipelines. It enables automated builds, testing, and deployments across multi-cluster environments with ArgoCD integration for GitOps continuous deployment.”
