A set of commands for diagnosing Kubernetes clusters and workloads. Kubernetes runs containers, and the commands inspect pods, services, networking, resources, and cluster health.

Use it to inspect pod status and logs, run commands in containers, test service connectivity, check events and resources, and set up port forwarding.

It provides targeted checks for failed pods, unreachable services, DNS problems, resource limits, storage issues, and unhealthy nodes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00013	$0.00439
Opus 5	$0.00006	$0.00219
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00088
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00044

Security

Grade A, and why

k8s-debug 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.

metrics-server installed (for resource-usage)
Appropriate RBAC permissions

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.
