Deploy trained robot policies to edge fleets via FluxCD GitOps, image automation, and deployment gating

  • Works in 4 steps: Bootstrap FluxCD → Configure image automation → Set up deployment gating → …
  • Tasks that involve Deployment
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Deployment Workflow, Key Directories and Specifications
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Fleet Deployment is an agent skill from microsoft/physical-ai-toolchain, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Deploy trained robot policies to edge fleets via FluxCD GitOps, image automation, and deployment gating

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and GitOps. It works with Microsoft Azure. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Deployment
  • Tasks that involve GitOps

Example prompts

  • “/fleet-deployment”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Bootstrap FluxCD
  2. Configure image automation
  3. Set up deployment gating
  4. Deploy to fleet

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d38197. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Fleet Deployment loads about 518 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~518

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.

Deploy trained robot policies to edge fleets via FluxCD GitOps, image automation, and deployment gating

Fleet Deployment

Deploy trained robot policies to edge robot fleets using FluxCD GitOps pipelines, automated image updates, and deployment gating.

Prerequisites

ToolRequirement
kubectlAuthenticated to target cluster
fluxFluxCD CLI 2.x
az CLIAzure authentication for ACR access

Deployment Workflow

Step 1 — Bootstrap FluxCD
bash
fleet-deployment/gitops/bootstrap.sh

Installs Flux components on the target cluster and configures Git source reconciliation.

Step 2 — Configure image automation

Define ImageRepository, ImagePolicy, and ImageUpdateAutomation resources in fleet-deployment/gitops/image-automation/.

Step 3 — Set up deployment gating

Configure gate criteria in fleet-deployment/gating/ to validate models before rollout.

Step 4 — Deploy to fleet

FluxCD reconciles cluster state from Git. New model images trigger automated manifest updates and gated rollout.
