# GitOps Workflow Complete guide to implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated Kubernetes deployments. ## Purpose Implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes using ArgoCD or Flux CD, following OpenGitOps principles. ## When to Use This Skill - Set up GitOps for Kubernetes clusters - Automate application deployments from Git - Implement progressive delivery strategies - Manage multi-cluster deployments - Configure automated sync policies - Set up secret management in GitOps ## OpenGitOps Principles 1. **Declarative** - Entire system described declaratively 2. **Versioned and Immutable** - Desired state stored in Git 3. **Pulled Automatically** - Software agents pull desired state 4. **Continuously Reconciled** - Agents reconcile actual vs desired state ## ArgoCD Setup ### 1. Installation ```bash # Create namespace kubectl create namespace argocd # Install ArgoCD kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml # Get admin password kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d ``` **Reference:** See `references/argocd-setup.md`

About this skill
What does the gitops-workflow skill do?

Implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and Flux for automated, declarative Kubernetes deployments with continuous reconciliation. Use when implementing GitOps practices, automating Kubernetes deployments, or setting up declarative infrastructure management.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill gitops-workflow --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
