What it does
This skill manages the ServiceMesh extension for KubeSphere, which bundles Istio for traffic routing, Kiali for topology views and Jaeger for tracing. A service is governed when it carries the `servicemesh.kubesphere.io/enabled` annotation set to true and belongs to a Composed App. Two custom resources are defined: Strategy for grayscale releases (canary, blue-green and traffic mirroring) and ServicePolicy for load balancing, connection pools and circuit breaking through an Istio DestinationRule.
Installation is a guided sequence. The agent checks for an existing InstallPlan with kubectl, lists available extension versions and offers the latest stable one, picks target clusters (the host cluster is used automatically when there is only one), looks for a gateway-api InstallPlan and turns off Istio's gateway API handling if one exists, then generates and applies the InstallPlan. Three shell scripts (check-status, generate-installplan, verify-uninstall) and a values reference back the install, status and uninstall tasks; the excerpt ends before the troubleshooting sections.
When your agent uses it
- Installing or upgrading the ServiceMesh extension on a KubeSphere cluster
- Verifying that the extension is healthy or fully removed after uninstall
- Debugging sidecar injection or missing topology and tracing data
- Setting up canary or blue-green releases for a Composed App
Example prompts
- “Install the latest stable ServiceMesh extension on all ready clusters.”
- “Check the status of the servicemesh extension and report anything unhealthy.”
- “Sidecars are not being injected into my checkout app. Help me find out why.”
- “Confirm the ServiceMesh uninstall left nothing behind on the host cluster.”
Requirements
- kubectl access to a KubeSphere cluster
- The ServiceMesh extension available in KubeSphere
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect and Select Version
- Detect and Select Clusters
- Check gateway-api Compatibility
- Generate and Apply InstallPlan
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
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
kubectl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 ServiceMesh Manager loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 488 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.
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); the scripts in this folder 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 488 words (~2,420 tokens).
“Integrates Istio, Kiali, and Jaeger to provide traffic governance for microservices. They operate on Composed App (backed by applications.app.k8s.io). A Service is governed when it has the annotation servicemesh.kubesphere.io/enabled: "true" and belongs to a Composed App.”
