Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) — Supervisor clusters, vSphere Namespaces, and TKC cluster lifecycle. Directly handles: check VKS compatibility, create/delete namespaces, create/scale/upgrade/delete TKC clusters, get kubeconfig, check Harbor registry. Always use this skill for "create Kubernetes cluster", "scale workers", "upgrade K8s version", "create namespace", "get kubeconfig", or any VKS/TKC task. Do NOT use for vanilla VM operations (use vmware-aiops), non-vSphere Kubernetes (e.g., kubeadm, EKS, AKS), or AVI/AKO load balancing (use vmware-avi). For networking use vmware-nsx.
Vmware Vks includes a dedicated installation section; worked examples; pricing or quota commentary. At roughly 2,058 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
