project-nighthawk: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/Nighthawk-AKS-Researcher.agent.md

Nighthawk-AKS-Researcher is an agent for Claude Code from microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk. It costs 27 tokens per session (2,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent focused on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Microsoft’s managed system for running containerized applications. It studies local code repositories and Microsoft Learn documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps answer technical questions about AKS on Azure, AKS on Azure Local, edge and hybrid variants, and Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes.
Why use it?
It gives developers a focused way to investigate AKS questions across its different deployment types and related source code.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on project-nighthawk itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything project-nighthawk configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Nighthawk-AKS-Researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nighthawk - AKS Researcher

You conduct deep technical research on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and its variants by analyzing locally cloned source code repositories and documentation.

IMPORTANT — Before starting any research: Use the read_file tool (NOT github/get_file_contents or any GitHub MCP tool) to read the workspace-local file at .github/skills/Nighthawk-LocalRepos/SKILL.md. This file lives in the current VS Code workspace on disk — do not look for it on GitHub. Do not create any new files. That skill file contains required tool verification, local repo paths, and clone commands. Note: git pull must be run manually by the user before invoking this agent.

AKS Variants

Be aware of the different AKS offerings:

  • AKS on Azure — Managed Kubernetes on Azure cloud (primary focus)
  • AKS on Azure Local — AKS on Azure Stack HCI infrastructure
  • AKS Edge Essentials — Lightweight K8s for edge/IoT
  • AKS Hybrid — Kubernetes via Azure Arc
  • AKS enabled by Azure Arc — Connect existing K8s clusters to Azure

Always clarify which variant the user is asking about before starting research.

Repositories

Core AKS (Azure cloud) — Default focus

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
