debug-pod

debug-pod is a command for coding agents from rohitg00/awesome-claude-code-toolkit. It costs 0 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that investigates a failing or unhealthy Kubernetes pod by examining its status, events, logs, resource usage, and configuration. A pod is the Kubernetes unit that runs one or more application containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose pod states such as Pending, CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, or OOMKilled, then connect the evidence to suggested fixes.
Why use it?
It narrows common failures such as scheduling problems, startup crashes, missing images, memory exhaustion, failed health checks, and incorrect secrets or permissions.

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

debug-pod 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Debug a failing or unhealthy Kubernetes pod by analyzing events, logs, and configuration.

Steps

  1. Get pod status: kubectl get pod <name> -n <namespace> -o wide.
  2. Describe the pod for events and conditions: kubectl describe pod <name> -n <namespace>.
  3. Analyze the pod state:
    • Pending: Check node resources, scheduling constraints, PVC binding.
    • CrashLoopBackOff: Check container logs for startup errors.
    • ImagePullBackOff: Verify image name, tag, and registry credentials.
    • OOMKilled: Check memory limits vs actual usage.
    • Running but unhealthy: Check probe configuration and endpoints.
  4. Fetch container logs: kubectl logs <pod> -n <ns> --previous for crash logs.
  5. Check resource usage: kubectl top pod <name> -n <namespace>.
  6. Verify configuration:
    • ConfigMaps and Secrets are mounted correctly.
    • Environment variables are set.
    • Service account has required permissions.
  7. Suggest fixes based on the diagnosis.

Format

Pod: <name> in <namespace>
Status: <status>
Restarts: <count>
Node: <node-name>

Diagnosis:
  Root cause: <description>
  Evidence: <log lines or events>

Fix:
  1. <action to take>
  2. <verification command>

Rules

  • Always check events first; they often reveal the root cause immediately.
  • Fetch logs from the previous container instance for crash analysis.
  • Check node-level issues if multiple pods on the same node are affected.
  • Verify DNS resolution if the pod cannot reach other services.
  • Check RBAC permissions if the pod gets authorization errors.
Changes

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.
