What is the benefit of the k8s-debug tool?

The k8s-debug tool allows you to launch an ephemeral debug container within a running pod, providing a specialized environment for troubleshooting application-level issues.

Does it support multi-namespace searches?

Yes, the k8s-locator agent is specifically designed to find and list resources across all namespaces to save time during investigations.

Can I use this for production debugging?

Yes, it includes structured workflows for diagnosing pod failures, checking events, and analyzing logs safely across production environments.

When should I still use raw kubectl commands?

You should use raw kubectl for destructive operations like apply or delete, interactive commands like port-forward, or when the user explicitly requests a specific command.

How does this differ from running raw kubectl commands?

This skill utilizes specialized agents like k8s-analyzer and k8s-locator to correlate data across namespaces and provide deeper contextual insights than standalone kubectl commands.
