Gke Workload Security
Audits, configures, and hardens workload-level security controls for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) applications and namespaces. Covers running cluster security audits (`audit_cluster.sh`), configuring Workload Identity Federation (impersonation, KSA/GSA binding, and pod setup), enforcing Network Policies (default-deny and Dataplane V2 logging), isolating high-risk pods inside GKE Sandbox (`gVisor`), enforcing Pod Security Standards (`restricted` labeling), and mounting Secret Manager secrets via CSI (`SecretProviderClass`). Use when auditing cluster security posture, isolating namespaces, applying pod security standards, setting up Workload Identity, or configuring network policies and secret volume mounts. Don't use for cluster-wide control plane security, RBAC hardening, Binary Authorization, Shielded Nodes, or enabling platform-level GKE add-ons (use gke-platform-security instead).

This skill provides workflows and best practices for securing GKE workloads. It covers security auditing, Identity and Access Management (Workload Identity), Network Security (Network Policies), and Node Security.
What this skill does
Gke Workload Security is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the identity-access sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/gke-workload-security/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when auditing cluster security posture, isolating namespaces, applying pod security standards, setting up Workload Identity, or configuring network policies and secret volume mounts. Don't use for cluster-wide control plane security, RBAC hardening, Binary Authorization, Shielded Nodes, or enabling platform-level GKE add-ons (use gke-platform-security instead).
Who uses this skill
The Gke Workload Security Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 188,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
