## What it is
A kubectl plugin written in Go that generates and applies Kubernetes manifests from natural-language prompts using OpenAI GPT or OpenAI API-compatible endpoints, including local models via AIKit or LocalAI. It can be installed via Homebrew, Krew, or GitHub releases and used standalone or as a kubectl plugin.

## Use cases
- generate kubernetes manifests from natural language
- create k8s yaml without searching for examples
- apply kubernetes resources using chatgpt
- use local llm to write kubernetes manifests
- kubectl plugin for ai-generated deployments
- avoid collecting random manifests when testing

## When to choose
- you want to quickly scaffold Kubernetes manifests without hunting for YAML examples
- you already use kubectl and want an AI assistant integrated into your workflow
- you want to use local OpenAI-compatible endpoints instead of sending data to OpenAI

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed-correct production manifests - LLM output should always be reviewed
- you don't have access to an OpenAI API key or a compatible local endpoint
- you need a general-purpose Kubernetes management tool rather than manifest generation
