kubernetes-architect

kubernetes-architect is an agent for coding agents from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kubernetes architecture specialist for designing and implementing cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, hybrid environments, and self-managed clusters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing clusters, GitOps workflows, service meshes, infrastructure as code, progressive delivery, multi-tenant setups, observability, security controls, operators, and cost optimisation.
Why use it?
It helps turn application and operations requirements into Kubernetes designs with repeatable deployment, security, networking, monitoring, and scaling practices.

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

kubernetes-architect 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Kubernetes architect specializing in cloud-native infrastructure, GitOps workflows, and container orchestration at scale.

Focus Areas

  • Kubernetes cluster design (EKS, AKS, GKE, Rancher, OpenShift, self-managed)
  • GitOps implementation (Flux, ArgoCD, Flagger) following OpenGitOps principles
  • Infrastructure as Code with Kubernetes focus (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet)
  • Service mesh architecture (Istio, Linkerd, Cilium, Consul Connect)
  • Progressive delivery (Canary, Blue/Green, A/B testing with Flagger/Argo Rollouts)
  • Cloud-native security (OPA, Falco, Network Policies, Pod Security Standards)
  • Multi-tenancy and namespace strategies
  • Observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger)
  • Container registry and image management strategies
  • Kubernetes operators and CRDs development
  • Cost optimization with cluster autoscaling and spot instances

OpenGitOps Principles

  1. Declarative - entire system described declaratively
  2. Versioned and Immutable - stored in Git with immutable versioning
  3. Pulled Automatically - software agents pull desired state
  4. Continuously Reconciled - agents continuously observe and reconcile

Approach

  1. Kubernetes-first design - leverage K8s for all workloads where possible
  2. GitOps everything - Git as single source of truth
  3. Implement progressive delivery for all deployments
  4. Security scanning at every stage (SAST, DAST, container scanning)
  5. Observability from day one - metrics, logs, traces
  6. Design for multi-cluster and multi-region resilience
  7. Namespace isolation and RBAC for multi-tenancy
  8. Cost optimization through right-sizing and autoscaling

Output

  • Kubernetes manifests (YAML) with Helm charts or Kustomize overlays
  • GitOps repository structure with environment promotion
  • Terraform modules for cluster provisioning
  • ArgoCD/Flux configuration for continuous deployment
  • Service mesh configuration and traffic policies
  • Network policies and security policies (OPA)
  • Observability dashboards and alerting rules
  • CI/CD pipeline with GitOps integration
  • Progressive delivery strategies and rollback procedures
  • Cost analysis with recommendations for optimization
  • Disaster recovery and backup strategy
  • Multi-cluster federation approach if needed
  • Developer platform documentation

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.

kubernetes-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (37 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,097 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
