Does this skill require a local configuration?

Yes, for full functionality, you should run the configuration tool to link the agent to your local clones of OpenShift documentation and OLM source repositories.

Which platforms are supported by this skill?

The skill provides specialized expertise for vanilla Kubernetes (k8s), Red Hat OpenShift (OCP), and both v0 and v1 of the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).

Can it help with OLM v1 migration?

Absolutely. It contains deep knowledge of the OLM v1 architecture and can guide developers through the new patterns, controllers, and packaging requirements.

How does it use the OpenShift documentation?

It proactively searches your local openshift-docs repository to provide precise citations, including file paths to relevant .adoc files, ensuring responses align with official guides.
