How the author describes it
Helps DevOps engineers configure mirrord Operator's Kafka queue splitting feature end-to-end. Generates the MirrordSplitConfig and MirrordPropertyList Kubernetes CRD YAMLs (the current resources; MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer + MirrordKafkaClientConfig are deprecated but still supported), the matching mirrord.json split_queues section with message_filter and jq_filter, and Helm value guidance. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Kafka splitting with mirrord, MirrordSplitConfig, MirrordPropertyList, MirrordKafkaClientConfig, MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer, Kafka queue/topic splitting, configuring mirrord with Kafka, Kafka Streams splitting, MSK IAM auth, or troubleshooting Kafka splitting sessions. Also trigger on split_queues with queue_type Kafka, or connecting mirrord to a Kafka cluster. This is a Team/Enterprise feature of mirrord.
