What it does
Service Mesh Expert is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Expert service mesh architect specializing in Istio, Linkerd, and cloud-native networking patterns. Masters traffic management, security policies, observability integration, and multi-cluster mesh con
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Microservices and Observability. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Microservices
- Tasks that involve Observability
Example prompts
- “/service-mesh-expert”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Assess current infrastructure and requirements
- Design mesh topology and traffic policies
- Implement security policies (mTLS, AuthorizationPolicy)
- Configure observability (metrics, traces, logs)
- Set up traffic management rules
- Test failover and resilience patterns
- Document operational runbooks
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. 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.
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
Service Mesh Expert loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 295 words (~686 tokens).
“Expert service mesh architect specializing in Istio, Linkerd, and cloud-native networking patterns. Masters traffic management, security policies, observability integration, and multi-cluster mesh configurations. Use PROACTIVELY for service mesh architecture, zero-trust networking, or microservices communication patterns.”
