One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
PromptBesides checking node condition status flags and pod eviction counts, what third verification signal confirms recovery after triaging node pressure?

When to use
Use when nodes show MemoryPressure, DiskPressure, or pods are evicted due to node conditions.
Preconditions
- You have read access to node and pod data.
- You can identify the affected node(s) or the evicted pods.
Procedure
- Confirm the node condition and the time it started.
- Identify impacted workloads (evictions, pending pods, restarts).
- Determine whether the issue is a single node or widespread.
- Identify top contributors (largest pods, runaway logs, tmpfs, imagefs).
- Choose the lowest-risk mitigation that restores capacity.
Decision points
- Single node only: consider cordon/drain after identifying a safe target.
- Many nodes: treat as capacity or systemic issue (autoscaling, noisy neighbor policy).
- Disk pressure: check image garbage, log growth, emptyDir usage.
- Memory pressure: check memory limits, leaks, and node size.
Verification
- Node condition clears and stays stable.
- Evictions stop and pending pods schedule.
- Workload SLO signals return to baseline.
Rollback / undo
- If you drained a node and it increases impact, stop draining and rebalance workloads.
- If you changed resource requests/limits, revert to previous values.
Escalation
- Platform team for cluster-wide pressure or autoscaler issues.
- Service owners for runaway resource usage.
