aks-troubleshooting

Debug live Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) incidents with a read-only, evidence-first investigation. WHEN: pod crashes or Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, node NotReady, DNS or ingress failure, connectivity timeout, network policy, SNAT exhaustion, node-pool scaling blocked by QuotaExceeded or InsufficientVCPUQuota, upgrade stuck, spot or zone disruption, a bare VMExtensionProvisioningError or AllocationFailed wrapper, an uncataloged capacity symptom, or 'investigate my AKS cluster'. DO NOT USE FOR: packet capture (use aks-network-capture); GPU or model-serving issues (use aks-gpu-inference); cluster creation or provisioning (use azure-kubernetes); cost (use cost-analysis from the optional azure-cost plugin); pod rightsizing (use azure-kubernetes); a fully qualified documented AKS signature with every required nested qualifier (use aks-known-issues); standalone failures on non-AKS Azure resources (use azure-diagnostics). Unqualified errors and open-ended incidents stay here only for AKS.

An agent can have at most 8 skills. Custom skills aren't available in tenants that use Microsoft Purview Information Barriers.

Compatible isn't the same as safe. These verdicts only say whether a skill's files follow Microsoft's documented load rules. The checker reads files and never runs them, and it doesn't review what a skill or its scripts actually do. Read a skill's instructions and scripts before you add it to an agent.
