Argo Make Author

Argo Make Author writes Argo WorkflowTemplate manifests through conversation, composing generic Argo steps with your existing Ark Agent, Model, and Team resources. It reads the live cluster before referencing anything and refuses to name a query target it cannot find, so the workflows it produces target resources that actually exist.

It is a manifest-only agent: the chart deploys a single Agent custom resource. It ships without a model so you can pick your own, and references the read-only kubernetes-mcp-server tools for cluster grounding.

Examples


"Create a workflow that asks the weather agent about Paris."
"Add a step that runs the summariser team on the previous step's output."
"What agents can I use in a workflow?"

Requirements

A model. The agent ships without one. Set agent.modelRef at install time or assign a model afterwards; queries fail until a model is set.
kubernetes-mcp-server. The kubernetes-mcp-server-resources-list and -resources-get tools come from the in-cluster kubernetes-mcp-server. The agent installs without it, but queries fail until it is present. Install it as kubernetes-mcp-server with read-only RBAC on the Ark CRDs (see the chart README).

Quick Start

Installation

Using Ark CLI (Recommended):


ark install marketplace/agents/argo-make-author

Using DevSpace (for Development):


cd agents/argo-make-author
devspace deploy

Using Helm:


cd agents/argo-make-author
helm install argo-make-author ./chart -n default --set agent.modelRef=default

Tools

The agent uses two read-only tools from the in-cluster kubernetes-mcp-server:

kubernetes-mcp-server-resources-list — list Ark and Argo resources in the namespace
kubernetes-mcp-server-resources-get — read a single resource

Uninstallation

Using Ark CLI:


ark uninstall marketplace/agents/argo-make-author

Using DevSpace:


cd agents/argo-make-author
devspace purge

Using Helm:


helm uninstall argo-make-author -n default
