# Linkerd Patterns Production patterns for Linkerd service mesh - the lightweight, security-first service mesh for Kubernetes. ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to linkerd patterns - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Use this skill when - Setting up a lightweight service mesh - Implementing automatic mTLS - Configuring traffic splits for canary deployments - Setting up service profiles for per-route metrics - Implementing retries and timeouts - Multi-cluster service mesh ## Core Concepts ### 1.

What does the linkerd-patterns skill do?
Production patterns for Linkerd service mesh - the lightweight, security-first service mesh for Kubernetes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill linkerd-patterns --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
