ArgoCD App Install
Create ArgoCD ApplicationSets for new workloads following the Cafehyna multi-repository GitOps pattern. Uses the standardized TEMPLATE.yaml with list generator, multi-source Helm configuration, and Kustomize registration.
Customization
Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/ArgocdAppInstall/
If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.
Voice Notification
When executing a workflow, do BOTH:
- Send voice notification:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"message": "Running WORKFLOWNAME in ArgocdAppInstall"}' \ > /dev/null 2>&1 & - Output text notification:
Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **ArgocdAppInstall** skill to ACTION...

Workflow Routing
| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| CreateApplicationSet | "add service", "new applicationset", "deploy workload", "create appset" | Workflows/CreateApplicationSet.md |
| ValidateApplicationSet | "validate appset", "check applicationset", "verify deployment" | Workflows/ValidateApplicationSet.md |
Examples
Example 1: Add a new monitoring service
User: "Add grafana-oncall to the ArgoCD platform"
-> Invokes CreateApplicationSet workflow
-> Copies TEMPLATE.yaml to grafana-oncall.yaml
-> Replaces placeholders (chart, repo, namespace, component)
-> Creates values files per cluster in argo-cd-helm-values/
-> Registers in kustomization.yaml
-> Runs pre-commit validationExample 2: Validate an existing ApplicationSet
User: "Validate the robusta applicationset is correct"
-> Invokes ValidateApplicationSet workflow
-> Checks YAML syntax, cluster URLs, values file existence
-> Verifies kustomization.yaml registration
-> Reports any issues foundExample 3: Add service to specific clusters only
User: "Deploy phpmyadmin only to dev clusters"
-> Invokes CreateApplicationSet workflow
-> Removes production/hub clusters from generator list
-> Only includes cafehyna-dev, loyalty-dev entries
-> Ensures spot tolerations in dev valuesQuick Reference
