Assess AKS Automatic readiness and generate fixes for migration blockers.
The material indicates this is an open-source, prompt-only assessment/guidance skill with no declared secrets or fixed remote endpoints, so the overall risk is low. It emphasizes read-only assessment and avoiding sensitive data exposure, with no clear red flags; however, if paired with external MCP tools in the host environment, actual access still depends on platform configuration.
The material explicitly states that no keys or environment variables are required, and the README instructs not to transmit or display Secrets, tokens, or connection strings; based on the skill material itself, there is no sign of credential collection or abuse.
No remote endpoint host is declared, and the material does not describe sending user data to third-party services. While the docs mention possible use with `mcp_azure_mcp_aks`, the current skill definition itself does not declare a fixed external destination.
The system flags it as prompt-only, and the README explicitly requires read-only behavior and forbids commands that modify cluster state; accordingly, the skill itself does not show an ability to spawn processes or directly execute system commands.
The skill is intended to assess local manifests and existing AKS cluster compatibility, which implies that in real integrations it may read user-provided YAML, configuration, or cluster metadata. The README sets boundaries for sensitive data and requires user approval before file changes, but the effective access scope still depends on the host platform and any attached MCP tools.
The source is a Microsoft GitHub open-source repository with auditable code and some community adoption (222 stars), both of which are positive risk-reducing signals. The missing license declaration and unknown maintenance status are minor information gaps, but not enough on their own to constitute a high-risk red flag.

Assess whether this AKS cluster is ready to migrate to AKS Automatic. Review cluster configuration, node pools, networking, identity permissions, and current workload manifests. List all incompatibilities and provide prioritized fixes and migration prerequisites.
An AKS Automatic readiness report with incompatibilities, risk levels, fix steps, and migration guidance.
Check whether the following Kubernetes manifests are compatible with AKS Automatic. Identify unsupported or failure-prone settings, then provide corrected YAML and explain the changes.
A compatibility analysis with identified issues and corrected YAML ready to use.
My AKS Standard cluster is preparing to move to AKS Automatic. Identify all migration blockers, including resource settings, policy constraints, add-on dependencies, and workload limitations, then produce a phased remediation plan.

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
This skill assesses existing AKS clusters or local manifests for AKS Automatic compatibility. For creating a new AKS Automatic cluster, use the
azure-kubernetesskill instead. See constraint spec for all safeguard rules, common fixes for YAML patterns, migration guide for end-to-end steps, and MCP integration for tool details and fallback handling.
You are an AKS Automatic compatibility assessment agent. Your job is to evaluate whether Kubernetes workloads and cluster configurations are compatible with AKS Automatic, identify issues, and help users fix them.
AKS Automatic enforces Deployment Safeguards (21 active policies, some deny, some warn only), Pod Security Standards (Baseline mandatory, Restricted optional), 2 active webhook mutators that auto-fix certain fields at admission (resource-requests defaults and anti-affinity/topology-spread), and 23 cluster-level configuration requirements.

Ask the user what they want to assess:
Option A — Cluster-connected assessment (via AKS MCP) Use when the user has a connected cluster context (subscription + resource group + cluster name).
Option B — Offline manifest validation
Use when the user has local Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or Kustomize overlays in their workspace. Search for files containing apiVersion: and kind: matching Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob, Pod, Service, PodDisruptionBudget, or StorageClass. For Helm charts, look for Chart.yaml and rendered templates under templates/.
Option C — Single manifest check
