Use this skill when the user wants to preview what k8s-launch-kit (l8k) would deploy without making changes, or wants to safely validate their configuration before applying. Activate for: dry-run, preview, validation, 'what would happen if', testing configurations, schema discovery, checking generated manifests, or any cautious pre-deployment step. Also use when the user asks 'is my config valid' or 'show me what would be created' -- even without mentioning dry-run explicitly.

K8s Launch Kit ConfigUse this skill when the user needs help understanding, creating, or editing a k8s-launch-kit (l8k) configuration file (l8k-config.yaml or cluster-config.yaml). Activate for: config file questions, parameter tuning, subnet configuration, NV-IPAM setup, DOCA driver settings, maintenance concurrency, NIC configuration operator settings, changing MTU, VFs, resource names, or understanding what any config field does.K8s Launch Kit DeployUse this skill when the user wants to deploy generated NVIDIA networking manifests to a Kubernetes cluster using k8s-launch-kit (l8k). Activate for: applying manifests, deploying to cluster, the `l8k deploy` subcommand or the legacy --deploy flag on `l8k generate`, applying generated files, or any mention of pushing l8k output to a live cluster. Even if the user just says 'apply these' or 'push to cluster' after generating manifests, use this skill.K8s Launch Kit DiscoverUse this skill when the user wants to discover their Kubernetes cluster's network hardware capabilities using k8s-launch-kit (l8k). Activate for: cluster discovery, hardware detection, NIC detection, finding what GPUs or NICs are in a cluster, creating a cluster config file, or when the user says 'discover' in the context of l8k or NVIDIA networking.K8s Launch Kit GenerateUse this skill when the user wants to generate Kubernetes YAML manifests for NVIDIA networking deployment using k8s-launch-kit (l8k). Activate for: manifest generation, profile selection, choosing between SR-IOV/host-device/RDMA-shared/IPoIB/MacVLAN/Spectrum-X, creating deployment files, or when the user asks 'which profile should I use' or needs help choosing a network configuration.K8s Launch Kit PipelineUse this skill when the user wants to run the full k8s-launch-kit (l8k) pipeline end-to-end: discover cluster hardware, select a profile, generate manifests, and deploy them all in one command. Also activate for CI/CD integration, automation pipelines, 'one-liner', 'complete workflow', or end-to-end NVIDIA networking deployment.K8s Launch Kit Sharedk8s-launch-kit (l8k) CLI: Shared patterns for binary location, global flags, output formatting, exit codes, and error handling. Read this before using any other k8s-launch-kit skill.
