Use the extension

The extension adds the following skills to Gemini CLI:

• declarative-validation-authoring — Enable Declarative Validation for a Kubernetes API resource. Walks through adding +k8s:* validation tags to versioned types, updating strategy files, marking handwritten validation for migration, writing tests, and running code generation.

• declarative-validation-review — Review a pull request that adds or modifies Declarative Validation. Produces a structured review report covering tag correctness, handwritten validation migration, test coverage analysis, and common pitfalls.

• apimachinery-issue-triage — Triage issues in the kubernetes/kubernetes repository for SIG API Machinery. Evaluates issues, applies labels, routes to domain experts, and manages issue lifecycle.
