Code Review
This pull request significantly improves the documentation for kcli, especially for the Claude AI assistant's skills. It adds comprehensive guides on configuration, provider development, and general usage, and clarifies existing documentation on cluster deployment, plan authoring, and testing. The new documentation is well-structured and detailed.
My review focuses on ensuring the new documentation promotes best practices. I've suggested improvements in the configuration examples to encourage better password security and recommended a change in the provider development guide to ensure unimplemented methods report failure instead of success, preventing silent errors. Overall, this is a valuable contribution that greatly enhances the usability and developer experience of kcli.

Using "secret" as an example password, even in documentation, can promote poor security practices. It's better to use a more secure placeholder like <your_secret_password> to encourage users to choose strong passwords.

Similar to the OpenStack configuration example, using "secret" as an example password is not recommended as it can encourage weak security practices. Please use a placeholder that suggests a strong, unique password should be used.

The guidance to return {'result': 'success'} for unimplemented methods can be misleading and may hide issues, as a client could interpret this as a successful operation. It is better practice to explicitly signal that the feature is not implemented by returning a failure status. This ensures that the calling code is aware of the unimplemented feature and can handle it appropriately.

| **Note:** Flake8 config also ignores `E501` (line too long) which is stricter than the CI linting script. The CI script uses pycodestyle directly without E501 ignore. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The explanation is backwards. The Flake8 configuration ignores E501 (making it less strict), while the CI script does NOT ignore E501 (making it more strict about line length). The note should read: 'The CI linting script is stricter than Flake8 config regarding line length. Flake8 ignores E501 (line too long), but the CI script enforces it via pycodestyle.'

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The description is misleading. According to the sampleprovider.py implementation, the default restart() method only calls start(), not a full restart sequence. It should clarify: 'Restart VM (default implementation only calls start; providers should override for proper restart behavior)'

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These two entries should clarify the functional difference between 'generic' and 'kubeadm' cluster types, not just their implementation directories. Currently, it's unclear why there are two separate Kubernetes deployment options and when to use each.
This pull request introduces significant improvements and expansions to the kcli documentation, focusing on provider configuration, cluster deployment, provider development, plan authoring, and testing. The changes add new guides, expand API references, clarify usage of custom Jinja2 filters, and provide additional context for testing and provider implementation.
