DESCRIPTION:In the world of GitOps\, a successful sync doesn't always mean 
 a healthy application. Standard static analysis tools like kube-linter or 
 kubeconform are excellent at catching syntax errors\, but they often produ
 ce fragmented\, noisy data that leaves developers guessing at the "why" an
 d "how to fix". \nThis session introduces LLM-powered skills. Skills provi
 de focused context and real-time retrieval without external dependencies\,
  making them ideal for secure\, offline infrastructure environments. \n\nU
 sing a Manifest-Validator plugin\, we demonstrate how to equip ArgoCD with
  specialized\, modular abilities that go beyond simple text generation. We
  will deep-dive into:\n1) The Sidecar Architecture: How we consolidated li
 nter outputs and model configurations into app-specific ConfigMaps to crea
 te a self-contained validation engine\n2) Actionable Remediation: How the 
 generated diagnostic reports can help provide developers with root cause a
 nalysis\n3) The Live Audit: How the AI skills inspects live cluster resour
 ces to suggest security hardening and cost optimization opportunities base
 d on production best practices\n\nAttendees will leave with a blueprint fo
 r building agentic DevOps tools that don't just find problems\, but posses
 s the specialized expertise to solve them.
