istio-traffic-management

Quick Review

Excellent Istio traffic management skill with comprehensive coverage of routing, canary deployments, circuit breakers, and resilience patterns. The description clearly indicates when to use the skill, and the content provides 7 well-structured YAML templates covering common scenarios from basic routing to ingress gateways. Task knowledge is strong with practical examples, debugging commands, and best practices. Structure is clear with logical sections and a helpful resource comparison table. Novelty is moderate-to-good: while Istio configuration can be looked up in documentation, having pre-validated templates with proper weight distributions, outlier detection parameters, and retry policies meaningfully reduces token usage and error rates for a CLI agent attempting to configure complex service mesh policies from scratch.
