Examples and Quick Reference
Quick reference for natural language prompts, guided workflows, and command patterns. For detailed step-by-step workflow guides, see Common Workflows.
Example Requests​
Onboarding & Migration​
"Check if my hello-world deployment in default is ready to migrate to Argo Rollouts."
"Convert api-service in production to a canary rollout — give me the YAML for review first, don't apply yet."
"Convert api-service in production to a canary rollout using workloadRef mode, apply=True."
"Convert the api-service Argo Rollout in production back to a standard Kubernetes Deployment."
Deployment Operations​
"Deploy api-service:v2.0 to the api-service rollout in production."
"Promote api-service rollout in production to the next step."
"Pause the api-service rollout in production — hold at current traffic level."
"Abort the api-service rollout in production and roll back to stable."
"Skip all remaining steps and promote api-service rollout fully to 100%."
Traffic & Analysis​
"Link the hello-world rollout in default to TraefikService hello-service-route-wrr."
"Set up automated Prometheus analysis for the api-service rollout in production."
"Configure analysis for my hello-world rollout using Prometheus at http://prometheus.monitoring:9090."
A/B Testing​
"Create an A/B test experiment called api-ab-test in production — run baseline and candidate for 30 minutes."
"What is the status of the api-ab-test experiment in production?"
"Delete the api-ab-test experiment in production — the baseline won."
ArgoCD GitOps​
"Generate ArgoCD ignoreDifferences for api-service in production with include_deployment_replicas for workloadRef."
"Generate the ArgoCD ignoreDifferences configuration for frontend in production."
Monitoring​
"What's the current status of the api-service rollout in production?"
"Show me an overview of all rollouts in my cluster."
"Give me a health summary of the entire cluster."
"Show me the deployment revision history for api-service rollout in production."
Guided Prompts (Full Workflow Automation)​
These prompts trigger entire guided workflows — not individual tool calls.
| Say this | What happens |
|---|---|
Onboard api-service in production to Argo Rollouts | Triggers onboard_application_guided — full walkthrough |
Guide me through a canary deployment of api-service:v2 in production | Triggers canary_deployment_guided |
Set up a blue-green deployment for checkout in production | Triggers blue_green_deployment_guided |
Do a rolling update of frontend in staging to image frontend:2.0 | Triggers rolling_update_guided |
Run an intelligent multi-cluster canary for api-service:v2 across regions | Triggers multi_cluster_canary_guided |
Deploy api-service:v2 in production with cost optimization | Triggers cost_optimized_deployment_guided |
Command Reference Guide​

| Deploy new version | argo_update_rollout (image) | "Deploy api-service:v2 to production" |
| Promote canary | argo_manage_rollout_lifecycle (promote) | "Promote api-service to next step" |
| Emergency rollback | argo_manage_rollout_lifecycle (abort) | "Abort payment rollout in production" |
| A/B test | argo_create_experiment, argo_delete_experiment | "Run A/B test for ui-experiment" |
| ArgoCD GitOps | generate_argocd_ignore_differences | "Generate ignoreDifferences for api-service" |
| Reverse migration | convert_rollout_to_deployment, argo_delete_rollout | "Convert rollout back to Deployment" |
Tips and Best Practices​
Always Validate Before Converting​
"Check if my deployment is ready to migrate to Argo Rollouts."
Use Review Mode First​
"Convert api-service to a canary rollout — give me the YAML for review first, don't apply yet."
Use workloadRef for Argo CD–Managed Apps​
"Convert api-service to workloadRef rollout — scale down on success, apply=True."
Configure Analysis for Automated Health Checks​
"Add automated health checks to the api-service rollout — link it to Prometheus."
Generate ignoreDifferences for Argo CD​
"Generate ArgoCD ignoreDifferences for api-service with include_deployment_replicas."
