AF vmware-avi
Use this skill whenever the user mentions load balancing, ingress, virtual services, pool members, AVI, NSX ALB, AKO, or application delivery in a VMware/NSX ALB or Tanzu/vSphere Kubernetes context. Directly handles: virtual service listing and enable/disable, pool member drain/enable, SSL certificate expiry checks, analytics and error logs, service engine health, AKO pod troubleshooting, AKO Helm config management, Ingress annotation validation, K8s-to-Controller sync diagnostics, and multi-cluster AKO overview. Always use it for "virtual service", "pool member", "AKO status", "AKO logs", "ingress diagnose", "ssl expiry", "load balancer", "NSX ALB", "AVI controller", "Avi Load Balancer", "AKO sync", or "负载均衡" tasks. Do NOT use to set up or configure nginx/HAProxy/Traefik from scratch — those are not AVI tasks. For VM lifecycle use vmware-aiops, for NSX networking use vmware-nsx, for Kubernetes cluster lifecycle (Supervisor/TKC) use vmware-vks.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
