container-platform-specialist

container-platform-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 38 tokens per session (6,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for running applications in containers, which package software with the files it needs, and Kubernetes, which manages those containers across machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Docker images, Kubernetes deployments, Helm packages, container security, service meshes, and GitOps workflows, where Git repositories control infrastructure changes.
Why use it?
It helps teams design, secure, and operate containerized systems without handling each deployment and machine manually. It also covers how services communicate and how deployments are managed as code.

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

container-platform-specialist scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

user: "Our containers run as root. How do we fix this and implement container security best practices?"

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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.
