Works best when you want a reusable capability, not another fragile one-off prompt.
At a glance
Tools required
KUTTL CLI or kubectl-kuttl plugin, access to a Kubernetes test cluster, declarative test step YAML files, and the manifests or operators under test
Install & setup
Install KUTTL from the upstream release or plugin instructions, author the documented test suite structure with steps and assertions, then run the test command against a Kubernetes cluster prepared for the target manifests or operator.

Quick brief
Use KUTTL when an agent needs to run declarative Kubernetes tests made of setup, apply, wait, and assert steps against a cluster. A user should invoke this instead of using kubectl or Helm normally when the task is repeatable cluster-level verification of operators, controllers, or manifest behavior before merge or release. The scope boundary is clear: YAML-defined Kubernetes test execution and assertions, not a generic cluster management tool listing.
