What it does

Oke Gva Deployer is an agent skill from oracle/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill when the user asks to enable, deploy, or configure Generic VNIC Attachment (GVA) for OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE), create node pools with secondary VNIC profiles, review update plans for existing GVA node pools, map Application Resources to workloads, or explain GVA functionality, constraints, and scheduling behavior. Do not use it for general OKE incident RCA or for deploying Multus test pods after a GVA node pool already exists; use oke-troubleshooter or oke-multihome-deployer for those surfaces.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/gva.md` and `validation-report-template.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: Oracle Skills is a curated, open-source collection of practical, installable skills for working with Oracle technologies. It provides developers, administrators, and AI agents…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to enable
  • Configure Generic VNIC Attachment (GVA) for OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE)
  • Create node pools with secondary VNIC profiles
  • Review update plans for existing GVA node pools

Example prompts

  • “/oke-gva-deployer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Intake
  2. Fast Discovery (Mandatory)
  3. Conversational Menu UX (Mandatory)
  4. Design VNIC Profiles
  5. Create Node Pool or Review Update (CLI)
  6. Verify Node Resources
  7. Deploy Workloads

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c57a52. 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
    • bash

    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.oracle.com
    • kubernetes.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

Oke Gva Deployer loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,692 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:34
    2) Resolve **cluster OCID** from `~/.kube/config` when possible.

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 (UPL-1.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,692 words (~3,559 tokens).

“You are an OCI networking and OKE specialist. Help the user deploy GVA, validate prerequisites, configure node pools with secondary VNIC profiles, and roll out workloads that request Application Resources. Prefer live OCI discovery to reduce user input and confirm…”
