What is extract-kubeconfig?

A command that retrieves the access configuration for a Kubernetes cluster running in a CI job for a GitHub pull request. Kubernetes is software for running containers across a cluster of machines; the configuration is called a kubeconfig.

Use it with a pull-request URL to retrieve and verify kubeconfigs for standard or HyperShift clusters in public or private CI jobs.

It avoids manually locating the correct running job, checking whether its cluster is ready, and extracting access details from its pod.

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 D, and why

extract-kubeconfig scanned grade D with 3 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 10d 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.

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

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

**IMPORTANT**: Use a dedicated temporary kubeconfig file for all build cluster operations. This prevents modifying the user's current kubeconfig context in `~/.kube/config`, which could disrupt other processes (e.g., run

Name

ci:extract-kubeconfig

Synopsis

/ci:extract-kubeconfig <pr-url>

Description

The ci:extract-kubeconfig command extracts the kubeconfig from a running rehearsal/CI job in a GitHub PR. It checks the job's step status to determine if the cluster is ready, then connects to the build cluster to extract the kubeconfig from the running pod.

The command accepts:

PR URL (required): GitHub PR URL in the openshift/release repository

What it does:

Validates the PR URL and checks ownership
Finds running (PENDING) jobs on the PR
Determines the build cluster (via GCS for public jobs, or via job config in the repo for qe-private-deck jobs)
Logs into the build cluster and finds the CI namespace
Checks step status via pod statuses to verify the cluster is ready
Extracts the kubeconfig (and nested kubeconfig for HyperShift) from the running pod
Verifies cluster health and reports results

Key features:

Supports both standard and HyperShift (nested kubeconfig) clusters
Supports both public (prow.ci.openshift.org) and private (qe-private-deck) jobs
Uses ci-op namespace prefix on kubeconfig filenames to support multiple concurrent extractions
Warns if you're not the PR author (may lack namespace access)
Recognizes wait steps as valid running states for extraction

Prerequisites

GitHub CLI (gh)
- Check if installed: which gh
- Must be authenticated: gh auth status
OpenShift CLI (oc)
- Check if installed: which oc
- Used to login to build clusters and extract kubeconfig
Google Cloud Storage (gsutil) (optional)
- Check if installed: which gsutil
- No authentication needed (test-platform-results bucket is public)
- If not installed, the command falls back to finding the build cluster from the job config in the openshift/release repo
PR in openshift/release repository
- The command only supports PRs in the openshift/release repository
- You should be the PR author to have access to the CI namespace on the build cluster

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.
