Causely K8s Investigation
Use this skill when the user asks about Kubernetes infrastructure health: nodes, pods, namespaces, deployments, DaemonSets, containers, or infra-level issues like OOMKills, node pressure, pod restarts, scheduling failures, resource exhaustion, CrashLoopBackOff, or evictions. Trigger for questions like "why did my pod restart?", "is node X under pressure?", "what's wrong with the chaos namespace?", "are any nodes unhealthy?", "why is my deployment not scaling?", "show me container resource usage", "what events happened on this pod?", "show me the config for this deployment", or any question involving k8s primitives rather than application-level services. Always use this skill — not just the generic causely-mcp skill — when the question is clearly about infrastructure or workload scheduling rather than application SLOs or business metrics.
