deploy-app

deploy-app is a command for GitHub Copilot from VersusControl/devops-ai-guidelines. It costs 8 tokens per session (208 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command workflow for deploying an application manifest to Kubernetes. A manifest is a configuration file describing a workload such as a Deployment or StatefulSet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update a Kubernetes workload, review differences or new resources, approve the change, and monitor its pods for up to five minutes.
Why use it?
It reduces deployment mistakes by validating the manifest, showing what will change, requiring confirmation, and checking whether the resulting application becomes ready.

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

deploy-app 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Deploy the application described by ${input:manifest:path or name} to namespace ${input:namespace:namespace}.

Steps:

  1. Validate the manifest is a Deployment or StatefulSet.
  2. Use describe_resource to detect whether the workload already exists.
    • If it exists, summarise the diff (replicas, image, env).
    • If it does not, list the resources that will be created.
  3. Pause and ask for confirmation before applying.
  4. After confirmation, apply the manifest using the project's CI/CD bridge (do NOT shell out to kubectl apply from inside the MCP tools — this prompt is read-only with respect to the cluster API).
  5. Poll list_pods until all replicas report Ready or 5 minutes elapse.
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.
