Build Your GitOps Skill

Before learning GitOps with ArgoCD—automating deployments through Git—you'll own a GitOps skill.

Step 1: Get the Skills Lab​

  1. Go to github.com/panaversity/claude-code-skills-lab
  2. Click the green Code button
  3. Select Download ZIP
  4. Extract the ZIP file
  5. Open the extracted folder in your terminal
cd claude-code-skills-lab
claude

Step 2: Create Your Skill​

Copy and paste this prompt:

Using your skill creator skill create a new skill for GitOps with ArgoCD. I will
use it to automate Kubernetes deployments from hello world to professional
production pipelines. Use context7 skill to study official documentation and
then build it so no self assumed knowledge.

Claude will:

  1. Fetch official ArgoCD documentation via Context7
  2. Ask you clarifying questions (sync policies, application sets, repo structure)
  3. Create the complete skill with references and templates

Your skill appears at .claude/skills/gitops-deployment/.

Done​

You now own a GitOps skill built from official documentation. The rest of this chapter teaches you what it knows—and how to make it better.
