Do I need to install Kyverno or Helm locally to use this skill?

No, this skill leverages a specialized policy-platform container that includes all necessary tools, requiring zero local software installation beyond a container engine like Docker or Finch.

What specific validation tools are included in this environment?

The environment includes Kyverno CLI for policy testing, Pluto for deprecated API detection, Helm for chart rendering, Spectral for OpenAPI validation, and yq for YAML processing.

Can this skill help prevent deployment failures?

Yes, by providing instant feedback on policy violations and schema errors before code is committed, it prevents non-compliant configurations from triggering pipeline failures.

How does this skill ensure consistency with my CI/CD pipeline?

By using the exact same containerized environment locally that is used in your CI pipeline, the skill ensures that validation results are identical across both environments.

Deployment & DevOps

Validates Kubernetes policies and configurations locally using Kyverno, Helm, and Pluto within a standardized container environment.

About

This skill enables developers to run enterprise-grade policy validation directly on their local machines using the policy-platform container. By mirroring the exact tools and versions used in CI/CD pipelines—including Kyverno CLI, Pluto, and Helm—it provides instant feedback on code changes without requiring any local software installation. This ensures that infrastructure-as-code (IaC) is compliant with organizational standards before it ever reaches a repository, significantly reducing build failures and streamlining the development workflow for platform engineers and developers alike.
