+## Skills
+
+Kubeshark is building an ecosystem of open-source AI skills that work with the Kubeshark MCP.
+Skills live in the `skills/` directory at the root of this repo.
+
+### What is a skill?
+
+A skill is a SKILL.md file (with optional reference docs) that teaches an AI agent a domain-specific
+methodology. The Kubeshark MCP provides the tools (snapshot creation, API call queries, PCAP export,
+etc.) — a skill tells the agent *how* to use those tools for a specific job.
+
+### Skill structure
+
+```
+skills/
+└── <skill-name>/
+    ├── SKILL.md              # Required. YAML frontmatter + markdown instructions.
+    └── references/           # Optional. Reference docs loaded on demand.
+        └── *.md
+```
+
+### SKILL.md format
+
+Every SKILL.md starts with YAML frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: skill-name
+description: >
+  When to trigger this skill. Be specific about user intents, keywords, and contexts.
+  The description is the primary mechanism for AI agents to decide whether to load the skill.
+---
+```
+
+The body is markdown instructions that define the methodology: prerequisites, workflows,
+tool usage patterns, output guidelines, and reference pointers.
+
+### Guidelines for writing skills
+
+- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines. Put detailed references in `references/` with clear pointers.
+- Use imperative tone ("Check data boundaries", "Create a snapshot").
+- Reference Kubeshark MCP tools by exact name (e.g., `create_snapshot`, `list_api_calls`).
+- Include realistic example tool responses so the agent knows what to expect.
+- Explain *why* things matter, not just *what* to do — the agent is smart and benefits from context.
+- Include a Setup Reference section with MCP configuration for Claude Code and Claude Desktop.
+- The description frontmatter should be "pushy" — include trigger keywords generously so the skill
+  activates when needed. Better to over-trigger than under-trigger.
+
+### Kubeshark MCP tools available to skills
+
+**Cluster management**: `check_kubeshark_status`, `start_kubeshark`, `stop_kubeshark`
+**Inventory**: `list_workloads`
+**L7 API**: `list_api_calls`, `get_api_call`, `get_api_stats`
+**L4 flows**: `list_l4_flows`, `get_l4_flow_summary`
+**Snapshots**: `get_data_boundaries`, `create_snapshot`, `get_snapshot`, `list_snapshots`, `start_snapshot_dissection`
+**PCAP**: `export_snapshot_pcap`, `resolve_workload`
+**Cloud storage**: `get_cloud_storage_status`, `upload_snapshot_to_cloud`, `download_snapshot_from_cloud`
+**Dissection**: `get_dissection_status`, `enable_dissection`, `disable_dissection`
+
+### KFL (Kubeshark Filter Language)
+
+KFL2 is built on CEL (Common Expression Language). Skills that involve traffic filtering should
+reference KFL. Key concepts:
+
+- Display filter (post-capture), not capture filter
+- Fields: `src.ip`, `dst.ip`, `src.pod.name`, `dst.pod.namespace`, `src.service.name`, etc.
+- Protocol booleans: `http`, `dns`, `redis`, `kafka`, `tls`, `grpc`, `amqp`, `ws`
+- HTTP fields: `url`, `method`, `status_code`, `path`, `request.headers`, `response.headers`,
+  `request_body_size`, `response_body_size`, `elapsed_time` (microseconds)
+- DNS fields: `dns_questions`, `dns_answers`, `dns_question_types`
+- Operators: `==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`, `&&`, `||`, `in`
+- String functions: `.contains()`, `.startsWith()`, `.endsWith()`, `.matches()` (regex)
+- Collection: `size()`, `[index]`, `[key]`
+- Full reference: https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/v2/kfl2
+
+### Key Kubeshark concepts for skill authors
+
+- **eBPF capture**: Kernel-level, no sidecars/proxies. Decrypts TLS without private keys.
+- **Protocols**: HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket, Kafka, Redis, AMQP, DNS, and more.
+- **Raw capture**: FIFO buffer per node. Must be enabled for retrospective analysis.
+- **Snapshots**: Immutable freeze of traffic in a time window. Includes raw capture files,
+  K8s pod events, and eBPF cgroup events.
+- **Dissection**: The "indexing" step. Reconstructs raw packets into structured L7 API calls.
+  Think of it like a search engine indexing web pages — without dissection you have PCAPs,
+  with dissection you have a queryable database. Kubeshark is the search engine for network traffic.
+- **Cloud storage**: Snapshots can be uploaded to S3/GCS/Azure and downloaded to any cluster.
+  A production snapshot can be analyzed on a local KinD cluster.
+
+### Current skills
+
+- `skills/network-rca/` — Network Root Cause Analysis. Retrospective traffic analysis via
+  snapshots, dissection, KFL queries, PCAP extraction, trend comparison.
+- `skills/kfl/` — KFL2 (Kubeshark Filter Language) expert. Complete reference for writing,
+  debugging, and optimizing CEL-based traffic filters across all supported protocols.
+
+### Planned skills (not yet created)
+
+- `skills/api-security/` — OWASP API Top 10 assessment against live or snapshot traffic.
+- `skills/incident-response/` — 7-phase forensic incident investigation methodology.
+- `skills/network-engineering/` — Real-time traffic analysis, latency debugging, dependency mapping.

-* Replay any moment in time. 
-* Resolve incidents at the speed of LLMs. 100% on-premises.
+Kubeshark captures cluster-wide network traffic at the speed and scale of Kubernetes, continuously, at the kernel level using eBPF. It consolidates a highly fragmented picture — dozens of nodes, thousands of workloads, millions of connections — into a single, queryable view with full Kubernetes and API context.
+
+Network data is available to **AI agents via [MCP](https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/mcp)** and to **human operators via a [dashboard](https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/v2)**.
+
+**What's captured, cluster-wide:**
+
+- **L4 Packets & TCP Metrics** — retransmissions, RTT, window saturation, connection lifecycle, packet loss across every node-to-node path ([TCP insights →](https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/mcp/tcp_insights))
+- **L7 API Calls** — real-time request/response matching with full payload parsing: HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, Redis, Kafka, DNS ([API dissection →](https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/v2/l7_api_dissection))
+- **Decrypted TLS** — eBPF-based TLS decryption without key management
+- **Kubernetes Context** — every packet and API call resolved to pod, service, namespace, and node
+- **PCAP Retention** — point-in-time raw packet snapshots, exportable for Wireshark ([Snapshots →](https://docs.kubeshark.com/en/v2/traffic_snapshots))

+
+Instead of creating ConfigMap and Secret resources manually, you can set cloud storage configuration directly in `values.yaml` or via `--set` flags. The Helm chart will automatically create the necessary ConfigMap and Secret resources.

-Create a ConfigMap with bucket configuration:
+[IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html) lets EKS pods assume an IAM role without static credentials. EKS injects a short-lived token into the pod automatically.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+1. Your EKS cluster must have an [OIDC provider](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/enable-iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html) associated with it.
+2. An IAM role with a trust policy that allows the Kubeshark service account to assume it.
+
+**Step 1 — Create an IAM policy scoped to your bucket:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",

+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+> For read-only access, remove `s3:PutObject`, `s3:DeleteObject`, and `s3:DeleteObjectVersion`.

+2. **Application Default Credentials** -- When no JSON key is provided, the GCP SDK default credential chain is used:

+**Read-write** (upload and delete snapshots in addition to read):
+
+Add `roles/storage.objectAdmin` instead of `roles/storage.objectViewer` to also grant `storage.objects.create` and `storage.objects.delete`:
+
+| Role | Permissions provided | Purpose |

+  --member="serviceAccount:PROJECT_ID.svc.id.goog[NAMESPACE/kubeshark-service-account]"
+```
+
+Set Helm values — the `tap.annotations` field adds the Workload Identity annotation to the service account:
+
+```yaml
+tap:
+  annotations:
+    iam.gke.io/gcp-service-account: kubeshark-gcs@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+  snapshots:
+    cloud:
+      provider: "gcs"
+      configMaps:
+        - kubeshark-gcs-config
+```
+
+Or via `--set`:
+
+```bash
+helm install kubeshark kubeshark/kubeshark \
+  --set tap.snapshots.cloud.provider=gcs \
+  --set tap.snapshots.cloud.gcs.bucket=BUCKET_NAME \
+  --set tap.snapshots.cloud.gcs.project=PROJECT_ID \
+  --set tap.annotations."iam\.gke\.io/gcp-service-account"=kubeshark-gcs@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+```
+
+No `credentialsJson` secret is needed — GKE injects credentials automatically via the Workload Identity metadata server.
+
+### Example: Service Account Key
+
+Create a Secret with the service account JSON key:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: kubeshark-gcs-creds
+type: Opaque
+stringData:
+  SNAPSHOT_GCS_CREDENTIALS_JSON: |
+    {
+      "type": "service_account",
+      "project_id": "my-gcp-project",
+      "private_key_id": "...",
+      "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
+      "client_email": "kubeshark@my-gcp-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
+      ...
+    }
+```
+
+Create a ConfigMap with bucket configuration:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: kubeshark-gcs-config
+data:
+  SNAPSHOT_GCS_BUCKET: my-kubeshark-snapshots
+  SNAPSHOT_GCS_PROJECT: my-gcp-project
+```
+
+Set Helm values:
+
+```yaml
+tap:
+  snapshots:
+    cloud:
+      provider: "gcs"
+      configMaps:
+        - kubeshark-gcs-config
+      secrets:
+        - kubeshark-gcs-creds
+```

+description: >
+  KFL2 (Kubeshark Filter Language) expert. Use this skill whenever the user needs to
+  write, debug, or optimize KFL filters for Kubeshark traffic queries. Trigger on any
+  mention of KFL, CEL filters, traffic filtering, display filters, query syntax,
+  filter expressions, "how do I filter", "show me only", "find traffic where",
+  protocol-specific queries (HTTP status codes, DNS lookups, Redis commands, Kafka topics),
+  Kubernetes-aware filtering (by namespace, pod, service, label, annotation),
+  L4 connection/flow filters, capture source filters, time-based queries, or any
+  request to slice/search/narrow network traffic in Kubeshark. Also trigger when other
+  skills need help constructing filters — KFL is the query language for all Kubeshark
+  traffic analysis.
+---
+
+# KFL2 — Kubeshark Filter Language
+
+You are a KFL2 expert. KFL2 is built on Google's CEL (Common Expression Language)
+and is the query language for all Kubeshark traffic analysis. It operates as a
+**display filter** — it doesn't affect what's captured, only what you see.
+
+Think of KFL the way you think of SQL for databases or Google search syntax for
+the web. Kubeshark captures and indexes all cluster traffic; KFL is how you
+search it.
+
+For the complete variable and field reference, see `references/kfl2-reference.md`.
+
+## Core Syntax
+
+KFL expressions are boolean CEL expressions. An empty filter matches everything.
+
+### Operators
+
+| Category | Operators |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Comparison | `==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=` |
+| Logical | `&&`, `\|\|`, `!` |
+| Arithmetic | `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%` |
+| Membership | `in` |
+| Ternary | `condition ? true_val : false_val` |
+
+### String Functions
+
+```
+str.contains(substring)      // Substring search
+str.startsWith(prefix)       // Prefix match
+str.endsWith(suffix)         // Suffix match
+str.matches(regex)           // Regex match
+size(str)                    // String length
+```
+
+### Collection Functions
+
+```
+size(collection)             // List/map/string length
+key in map                   // Key existence
+map[key]                     // Value access
+map_get(map, key, default)   // Safe access with default
+value in list                // List membership
+```
+
+### Time Functions
+
+```
+timestamp("2026-03-14T22:00:00Z")   // Parse ISO timestamp
+duration("5m")                        // Parse duration
+now()                                 // Current time (snapshot at filter creation)
+```
+
+## Protocol Detection
+
+Boolean flags that indicate which protocol was detected. Use these as the first
+filter term — they're fast and narrow the search space immediately.
+
+| Flag | Protocol | Flag | Protocol |
+|------|----------|------|----------|
+| `http` | HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 | `redis` | Redis |
+| `dns` | DNS | `kafka` | Kafka |
+| `tls` | TLS/SSL | `amqp` | AMQP |
+| `tcp` | TCP | `ldap` | LDAP |
+| `udp` | UDP | `ws` | WebSocket |
+| `sctp` | SCTP | `gql` | GraphQL (v1+v2) |
+| `icmp` | ICMP | `gqlv1` / `gqlv2` | GraphQL version-specific |
+| `radius` | RADIUS | `conn` / `flow` | L4 connection/flow tracking |
+| `diameter` | Diameter | `tcp_conn` / `udp_conn` | Transport-specific connections |
+
+## Kubernetes Context
+
+The most common starting point. Filter by where traffic originates or terminates.
+
+### Pod and Service Fields

+src.service.name == "api-gateway"
+dst.service.namespace == "payments"
+```
+
+Pod fields fall back to service data when pod info is unavailable, so
+`dst.pod.namespace` works even for service-level entries.
+
+### Aggregate Collections
+
+Match against any direction (src or dst):
+
+```
+"production" in namespaces           // Any namespace match
+"orders" in pods                     // Any pod name match
+"api-gateway" in services            // Any service name match
+```
+
+### Labels and Annotations
+
+```
+local_labels["app"] == "checkout"
+remote_labels["version"] == "canary"
+"tier" in local_labels               // Label existence
+map_get(local_labels, "env", "") == "prod"   // Safe access
+```
+
+### Node and Process
+
+```
+node_name == "ip-10-0-25-170.ec2.internal"
+local_process_name == "nginx"
+remote_process_name.contains("postgres")
+```
+
+### DNS Resolution
+
+```
+src.dns == "api.example.com"
+dst.dns.contains("redis")
+```
+
+## HTTP Filtering
+
+HTTP is the most common protocol for API-level investigation.
+
+### Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Example |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| `method` | string | `"GET"`, `"POST"`, `"PUT"`, `"DELETE"` |
+| `url` | string | Full path + query: `"/api/users?id=123"` |
+| `path` | string | Path only: `"/api/users"` |
+| `status_code` | int | `200`, `404`, `500` |
+| `http_version` | string | `"HTTP/1.1"`, `"HTTP/2"` |
+| `request.headers` | map | `request.headers["content-type"]` |
+| `response.headers` | map | `response.headers["server"]` |
+| `request.cookies` | map | `request.cookies["session"]` |
+| `response.cookies` | map | `response.cookies["token"]` |
+| `query_string` | map | `query_string["id"]` |
+| `request_body_size` | int | Request body bytes |
+| `response_body_size` | int | Response body bytes |
+| `elapsed_time` | int | Duration in **microseconds** |
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+```
+// Error investigation
+http && status_code >= 500                           // Server errors
+http && status_code == 429                           // Rate limiting
+http && status_code >= 400 && status_code < 500      // Client errors
+
+// Endpoint targeting
+http && method == "POST" && path.contains("/orders")
+http && url.matches(".*/api/v[0-9]+/users.*")
+
+// Performance
+http && elapsed_time > 5000000                       // > 5 seconds
+http && response_body_size > 1000000                 // > 1MB responses
+
+// Header inspection
+http && "authorization" in request.headers
+http && request.headers["content-type"] == "application/json"
+
+// GraphQL (subset of HTTP)
+gql && method == "POST" && status_code >= 400
+```
+
+## DNS Filtering
+
+DNS issues are often the hidden root cause of outages.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `dns_questions` | []string | Question domain names |
+| `dns_answers` | []string | Answer domain names |
+| `dns_question_types` | []string | Record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, PTR |
+| `dns_request` | bool | Is request |
+| `dns_response` | bool | Is response |
+| `dns_request_length` | int | Request size |
+| `dns_response_length` | int | Response size |
+
+```
+dns && "api.external-service.com" in dns_questions
+dns && dns_response && status_code != 0              // Failed lookups
+dns && "A" in dns_question_types                     // A record queries
+dns && size(dns_questions) > 1                       // Multi-question
+```
+
+## Database and Messaging Protocols
+
+### Redis
+
+```
+redis && redis_type == "GET"                         // Command type
+redis && redis_key.startsWith("session:")            // Key pattern
+redis && redis_command.contains("DEL")               // Command search
+redis && redis_total_size > 10000                    // Large operations
+```
+
+### Kafka
+
+```
+kafka && kafka_api_key_name == "PRODUCE"             // Produce operations
+kafka && kafka_client_id == "payment-processor"      // Client filtering
+kafka && kafka_request_summary.contains("orders")    // Topic filtering
+kafka && kafka_size > 10000                          // Large messages
+```
+
+### AMQP
+
+```
+amqp && amqp_method == "basic.publish"
+amqp && amqp_summary.contains("order")
+```
+
+### LDAP
+
+```
+ldap && ldap_type == "bind"                          // Bind requests
+ldap && ldap_summary.contains("search")
+```
+
+## Transport Layer (L4)
+
+### TCP/UDP Fields
+
+```
+tcp && tcp_error_type != ""                          // TCP errors
+udp && udp_length > 1000                             // Large UDP packets
+```
+
+### Connection Tracking
+
+```
+conn && conn_state == "open"                         // Active connections
+conn && conn_local_bytes > 1000000                   // High-volume
+conn && "HTTP" in conn_l7_detected                   // L7 protocol detection
+tcp_conn && conn_state == "closed"                   // Closed TCP connections
+```
+
+### Flow Tracking (with Rate Metrics)
+
+```
+flow && flow_local_pps > 1000                        // High packet rate
+flow && flow_local_bps > 1000000                     // High bandwidth
+flow && flow_state == "closed" && "TLS" in flow_l7_detected
+tcp_flow && flow_local_bps > 5000000                 // High-throughput TCP
+```
+
+## Network Layer
+
+```
+src.ip == "10.0.53.101"
+dst.ip.startsWith("192.168.")
+src.port == 8080
+dst.port >= 8000 && dst.port <= 9000
+```
+
+## Capture Source
+
+Filter by how traffic was captured:
+
+```
+capture_source == "ebpf"                // eBPF captured
+capture_source == "ebpf_tls"            // TLS decryption via eBPF
+capture_source == "af_packet"           // AF_PACKET captured
+capture_backend == "ebpf"              // eBPF backend family
+```
+
+## Time-Based Filtering
+
+```
+timestamp > timestamp("2026-03-14T22:00:00Z")
+timestamp >= timestamp("2026-03-14T22:00:00Z") && timestamp <= timestamp("2026-03-14T23:00:00Z")
+timestamp > now() - duration("5m")                   // Last 5 minutes
+elapsed_time > 2000000                               // Older than 2 seconds
+```
+
+## Building Filters: Progressive Narrowing
+
+The most effective investigation technique — start broad, add constraints:
+
+```
+// Step 1: Protocol + namespace
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production"
+
+// Step 2: Add error condition
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500
+
+// Step 3: Narrow to service
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service"
+
+// Step 4: Narrow to endpoint
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service" && path.contains("/charge")
+
+// Step 5: Add timing
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service" && path.contains("/charge") && elapsed_time > 2000000
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Protocol flags first** — `http && ...` is faster than `... && http`
+2. **`startsWith`/`endsWith` over `contains`** — prefix/suffix checks are faster
+3. **Specific ports before string ops** — `dst.port == 80` is cheaper than `url.contains(...)`
+4. **Use `map_get` for labels** — avoids errors on missing keys
+5. **Keep filters simple** — CEL short-circuits on `&&`, so put cheap checks first
+
+## Type Safety
+
+KFL2 is statically typed. Common gotchas:
+
+- `status_code` is `int`, not string — use `status_code == 200`, not `"200"`
+- `elapsed_time` is in **microseconds** — 5 seconds = `5000000`
+- `timestamp` requires `timestamp()` function — not a raw string
+- Map access on missing keys errors — use `key in map` or `map_get()` first
+- List membership uses `value in list` — not `list.contains(value)`

+
+## CEL Language Features
+
+KFL2 supports the full CEL specification:
+
+- **Short-circuit evaluation**: `&&` stops on first false, `||` stops on first true
+- **Ternary**: `condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false`
+- **Regex**: `str.matches("pattern")` uses RE2 syntax
+- **Type coercion**: Timestamps require `timestamp()`, durations require `duration()`
+- **Null safety**: Use `in` operator or `map_get()` before accessing map keys

+  Kubernetes network root cause analysis skill powered by Kubeshark MCP. Use this skill
+  whenever the user wants to investigate past incidents, perform retrospective traffic
+  analysis, take or manage traffic snapshots, extract PCAPs, dissect L7 API calls from
+  historical captures, compare traffic patterns over time, detect drift or anomalies
+  between snapshots, or do any kind of forensic network analysis in Kubernetes.
+  Also trigger when the user mentions snapshots, raw capture, PCAP extraction,
+  traffic replay, postmortem analysis, "what happened yesterday/last week",
+  root cause analysis, RCA, cloud snapshot storage, snapshot dissection, or KFL filters
+  for historical traffic. Even if the user just says "figure out what went wrong"
+  or "compare today's traffic to yesterday" in a Kubernetes context, use this skill.
+---
+
+# Network Root Cause Analysis with Kubeshark MCP
+
+You are a Kubernetes network forensics specialist. Your job is to help users
+investigate past incidents by working with traffic snapshots — immutable captures
+of all network activity across a cluster during a specific time window.
+
+Kubeshark is a search engine for network traffic. Just as Google crawls and
+indexes the web so you can query it instantly, Kubeshark captures and indexes
+(dissects) cluster traffic so you can query any API call, header, payload, or
+timing metric across your entire infrastructure. Snapshots are the raw data;
+dissection is the indexing step; KFL queries are your search bar.
+
+Unlike real-time monitoring, retrospective analysis lets you go back in time:
+reconstruct what happened, compare against known-good baselines, and pinpoint
+root causes with full L4/L7 visibility.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before starting any analysis, verify the environment is ready.
+
+### Kubeshark MCP Health Check
+
+Confirm the Kubeshark MCP is accessible and tools are available. Look for tools
+like `list_api_calls`, `list_l4_flows`, `create_snapshot`, etc.
+
+**Tool**: `check_kubeshark_status`
+
+If tools like `list_api_calls` or `list_l4_flows` are missing from the response,
+something is wrong with the MCP connection. Guide the user through setup
+(see Setup Reference at the bottom).
+
+### Raw Capture Must Be Enabled
+
+Retrospective analysis depends on raw capture — Kubeshark's kernel-level (eBPF)
+packet recording that stores traffic at the node level. Without it, snapshots
+have nothing to work with.
+
+Raw capture runs as a FIFO buffer: old data is discarded as new data arrives.
+The buffer size determines how far back you can go. Larger buffer = wider
+snapshot window.
+
+```yaml
+tap:
+  capture:
+    raw:
+      enabled: true
+      storageSize: 10Gi    # Per-node FIFO buffer
+```
+
+If raw capture isn't enabled, inform the user that retrospective analysis
+requires it and share the configuration above.
+
+### Snapshot Storage
+
+Snapshots are assembled on the Hub's storage, which is ephemeral by default.
+For serious forensic work, persistent storage is recommended:
+
+```yaml
+tap:
+  snapshots:
+    local:
+      storageClass: gp2
+      storageSize: 1000Gi
+```
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+The general flow for any RCA investigation:
+
+1. **Determine time window** — When did the issue occur? Use `get_data_boundaries`
+   to see what raw capture data is available.
+2. **Create or locate a snapshot** — Either take a new snapshot covering the
+   incident window, or find an existing one with `list_snapshots`.
+3. **Dissect the snapshot** — Activate L7 dissection so you can query API calls,
+   not just raw packets.
+4. **Investigate** — Use KFL filters to slice through the traffic. Start broad,
+   narrow progressively.
+5. **Extract evidence** — Export filtered PCAPs, resolve workload IPs, pull
+   specific API call details.
+6. **Compare** (optional) — Diff against a known-good snapshot to identify
+   what changed.
+
+## Snapshot Operations
+
+### Check Data Boundaries
+
+Before creating a snapshot, check what raw capture data exists across the cluster.
+
+**Tool**: `get_data_boundaries`
+
+This returns the time window available per node. You can only create snapshots
+within these boundaries — data outside the window has already been rotated out
+of the FIFO buffer.
+
+**Example response**:
+```
+Cluster-wide:
+  Oldest: 2026-03-14 16:12:34 UTC
+  Newest: 2026-03-14 18:05:20 UTC
+
+Per node:
+  ┌─────────────────────────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
+  │            Node             │  Oldest  │  Newest  │
+  ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
+  │ ip-10-0-25-170.ec2.internal │ 16:12:34 │ 18:03:39 │
+  │ ip-10-0-32-115.ec2.internal │ 16:13:45 │ 18:05:20 │
+  └─────────────────────────────┴──────────┴──────────┘
+```
+
+If the user's incident falls outside the available window, let them know the
+data has been rotated out. Suggest increasing `storageSize` for future coverage.
+
+### Create a Snapshot
+
+**Tool**: `create_snapshot`
+
+Specify nodes (or cluster-wide) and a time window within the data boundaries.
+Snapshots include everything needed to reconstruct the traffic picture:
+raw capture files, Kubernetes pod events, and eBPF cgroup events.
+
+Snapshots take time to build. After creating one, check its status.
+
+**Tool**: `get_snapshot`
+
+Wait until status is `completed` before proceeding with dissection or PCAP export.
+
+### List Existing Snapshots
+
+**Tool**: `list_snapshots`
+
+Shows all snapshots on the local Hub, with name, size, status, and node count.
+Use this when the user wants to work with a previously captured snapshot.
+
+### Cloud Storage
+
+Snapshots on the Hub are ephemeral and space-limited. Cloud storage (S3, GCS,
+Azure Blob) provides long-term retention. Snapshots can be downloaded to any
+cluster with Kubeshark — not necessarily the original cluster. This means you can
+download a production snapshot to a local KinD cluster for safe analysis.
+
+**Check cloud status**: `get_cloud_storage_status`
+**Upload to cloud**: `upload_snapshot_to_cloud`
+**Download from cloud**: `download_snapshot_from_cloud`
+
+When cloud storage is configured, recommend uploading snapshots after analysis
+for long-term retention, especially for compliance or post-mortem documentation.
+
+## L7 API Dissection
+
+Think of dissection the way a search engine thinks of indexing. A raw snapshot
+is like the raw internet — billions of packets, impossible to query efficiently.
+Dissection indexes that traffic: it reconstructs packets into structured L7 API
+calls, builds a queryable database of every request, response, header, payload,
+and timing metric. Once dissected, Kubeshark becomes a search engine for your
+network traffic — you type a query (using KFL filters), and get instant,
+precise answers from terabytes of captured data.
+
+Without dissection, you have PCAPs. With dissection, you have answers.
+
+### Activate Dissection
+
+**Tool**: `start_snapshot_dissection`
+
+Dissection takes time proportional to the snapshot size — it's parsing every
+packet, reassembling streams, and building the index. After it completes,
+the full query engine is available:
+- `list_api_calls` — Search API transactions with filters (the "Google search" for your traffic)
+- `get_api_call` — Drill into a specific call (headers, body, timing)
+- `get_api_stats` — Aggregated statistics (throughput, error rates, latency)
+
+### Investigation Strategy
+
+Start broad, then narrow:
+
+1. `get_api_stats` — Get the overall picture: error rates, latency percentiles,
+   throughput. Look for spikes or anomalies.
+2. `list_api_calls` filtered by error codes (4xx, 5xx) or high latency — find
+   the problematic transactions.
+3. `get_api_call` on specific calls — inspect headers, bodies, timing to
+   understand what went wrong.
+4. Use KFL filters (see below) to slice the traffic by namespace, service,
+   protocol, or any combination.
+
+## PCAP Extraction
+
+Sometimes you need the raw packets — for Wireshark analysis, sharing with
+network teams, or compliance evidence.
+
+### Export a PCAP
+
+**Tool**: `export_snapshot_pcap`
+
+You can export the full snapshot or filter it down using:
+- **Nodes** — specific nodes only
+- **Time** — sub-window within the snapshot
+- **BPF filter** — standard Berkeley Packet Filter syntax (e.g., `host 10.0.53.101`,
+  `port 8080`, `net 10.0.0.0/16`)
+
+### Resolve Workload IPs
+
+When you care about specific workloads but don't have their IPs, resolve them
+from the snapshot's metadata. Snapshots preserve the pod-to-IP mappings from
+capture time, so you get accurate resolution even if pods have since been
+rescheduled.
+
+**Tool**: `resolve_workload`
+
+**Example**: Resolve the IP of `orders-594487879c-7ddxf` from snapshot `slim-timestamp`
+→ Returns `10.0.53.101`
+
+Then use that IP in a BPF filter to extract only that workload's traffic:
+`export_snapshot_pcap` with BPF `host 10.0.53.101`
+
+## KFL — Kubeshark Filter Language
+
+KFL2 is the query language for slicing through dissected traffic. For the
+complete KFL2 reference (all variables, operators, protocol fields, and examples),
+see the **KFL skill** (`skills/kfl/`).
+
+### RCA-Specific Filter Patterns
+
+Layer filters progressively when investigating an incident:
+
+```
+// Step 1: Protocol + namespace
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production"
+
+// Step 2: Add error condition
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500
+
+// Step 3: Narrow to service
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service"
+
+// Step 4: Narrow to endpoint
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service" && path.contains("/charge")
+
+// Step 5: Add timing
+http && dst.pod.namespace == "production" && status_code >= 500 && dst.service.name == "payment-service" && path.contains("/charge") && elapsed_time > 2000000
+```
+
+Other common RCA filters:
+
+```
+dns && dns_response && status_code != 0              // Failed DNS lookups
+src.service.namespace != dst.service.namespace        // Cross-namespace traffic
+http && elapsed_time > 5000000                        // Slow transactions (> 5s)
+conn && conn_state == "open" && conn_local_bytes > 1000000  // High-volume connections
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Post-Incident RCA
+
+The primary use case. Something broke, it's been resolved, and now you need
+to understand why.
+
+1. Identify the incident time window from alerts, logs, or user reports
+2. Check `get_data_boundaries` — is the window still in raw capture?
+3. `create_snapshot` covering the incident window (add buffer: 15 minutes
+   before and after the reported time)
+4. `start_snapshot_dissection`
+5. `get_api_stats` — look for error rate spikes, latency jumps
+6. `list_api_calls` filtered to errors — identify the failing service chain
+7. `get_api_call` on specific failures — read headers, bodies, timing
+8. Follow the dependency chain upstream until you find the originating failure
+9. Export relevant PCAPs for the post-mortem document
+
+### Trend Analysis and Drift Detection
+
+Take snapshots at regular intervals (daily, weekly) with consistent parameters.
+Compare them to detect:
+
+- **Latency drift** — p95 latency creeping up over days
+- **API surface changes** — new endpoints appearing, old ones disappearing
+- **Error rate trends** — gradual increase in 5xx responses
+- **Traffic pattern shifts** — new service-to-service connections, volume changes
+- **Security posture regression** — unencrypted traffic appearing, new external
+  connections
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. `create_snapshot` with consistent parameters (same time-of-day, same duration)
+2. `start_snapshot_dissection` on each
+3. `get_api_stats` on each — compare metrics side by side
+4. `list_api_calls` with targeted KFL filters — diff the results
+5. Flag anomalies and regressions
+
+This is powerful when combined with scheduled tasks — automate daily snapshot
+creation and comparison to catch drift before it becomes an incident.
+
+### Forensic Evidence Preservation
+
+For compliance, legal, or audit requirements:
+
+1. `create_snapshot` immediately when an incident is detected
+2. `upload_snapshot_to_cloud` — immutable copy in long-term storage
+3. Document the snapshot ID, time window, and chain of custody
+4. The snapshot can be downloaded to any Kubeshark cluster for later analysis,
+   even months later, even on a completely different cluster
+
+### Production-to-Local Replay
+
+Investigate production issues safely on a local cluster:
+
+1. `create_snapshot` on the production cluster
+2. `upload_snapshot_to_cloud`
+3. On a local KinD/minikube cluster with Kubeshark: `download_snapshot_from_cloud`
+4. `start_snapshot_dissection` — full L7 analysis locally
+5. Investigate without touching production
+
+## Composability
+
+This skill is designed to work alongside other Kubeshark-powered skills:
+
+- **API Security Skill** — Run security scans against a snapshot's dissected traffic.
+  Take daily snapshots and diff security findings to detect posture drift.
+- **Incident Response Skill** — Use this skill's snapshot workflow as the evidence
+  preservation and forensic analysis layer within the IR methodology.
+- **Network Engineering Skill** — Use snapshots for baseline traffic characterization
+  and architecture reviews.
+
+When multiple skills are loaded, they share context. A snapshot created here
+can be analyzed by the security skill's OWASP scans or the IR skill's
+7-phase methodology.
