Can it convert YAML to other data formats?

Yes, the skill supports bidirectional conversion between YAML, JSON, TOML, and XML while maintaining semantic equivalence.

Can I use this to optimize my GitHub Actions workflows?

Yes, it analyzes CI/CD pipelines to suggest caching strategies, faster install commands (like npm ci), and parallelization to reduce build times.

How do I activate the YAML Master skill?

The skill activates automatically whenever Claude detects you are reading, writing, or editing .yaml or .yml files, or working on configuration management tasks.

Can it fix indentation and syntax errors automatically?

Yes, YAML Master identifies common errors like mixed tabs and spaces, duplicate keys, or missing colons and provides corrected versions with explanations.

Does it support Kubernetes and Docker Compose?

Absolutely. It includes deep expertise in K8s manifests and Docker Compose syntax, suggesting security best practices and resource optimizations.

Deployment & DevOps

Provides proactive YAML validation, schema inference, and format conversion with specialized support for Kubernetes and CI/CD workflows.

About

YAML Master is a specialized intelligence agent that automatically activates whenever you work with YAML files, Kubernetes manifests, Docker Compose configurations, or CI/CD pipelines. It streamlines the development process by performing real-time syntax validation, schema generation, and structural refactoring. Beyond simple linting, it enforces industry best practices for infrastructure-as-code, assists with complex anchor/alias management, and provides seamless bidirectional conversion between YAML, JSON, TOML, and XML to ensure your configurations are robust, secure, and optimized for performance.

884 GitHub stars
Intelligent schema inference and JSON/OpenAPI schema generation
Automatic proactive validation against YAML 1.2 specifications
Bidirectional format conversion between YAML, JSON, TOML, and XML
Advanced refactoring using YAML anchors and aliases for DRY configurations

Use Cases

Optimizing CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions with caching and matrix strategies
Fixing broken Kubernetes manifests and validating them against API versions
Converting legacy JSON configurations into documented, human-readable YAML
