oc AGENTS.md

Project instructions for the OpenShift command-line tool, which manages applications and resources on Red Hat OpenShift, a platform for running containerized software. They explain how it relates to kubectl, the standard Kubernetes command-line tool, and how to build and test it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing CLI commands, building the tool, running tests for one package or the full project, checking Linux behavior, or updating shell command completion.
Why use it?
They help contributors know whether a change belongs in OpenShift or in the upstream Kubernetes tool, and which checks to run before finishing work.

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

oc AGENTS.md 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 2d 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.

OpenShift CLI (oc)

The OpenShift Client (oc) is the official CLI for OpenShift Container Platform. It is built on top of kubectl and extends it with OpenShift-specific functionality.

Architecture: oc and kubectl Relationship

kubectl is a subset of oc — every kubectl command is available in oc. Commands range from pure kubectl wrappers (in pkg/cli/kubectlwrappers/) through OCP-extended wrappers, to fully OCP-native commands. The key rule: if a command is a pure kubectl wrapper, behavioral changes belong upstream in k8s.io/kubectl, not here.

See ARCHITECTURE.md for the full taxonomy and design rationale.

Build and Test

make oc                              # Fast build, ~5-10s (strips debug symbols by default)
make build                           # Full build (includes oc-tests-ext, tools)
make test                            # Unit tests (~2-5 min for full suite)
make verify                          # Formatting, linting, CLI convention checks (~30-60s)
make verify-cli-conventions          # CLI structure validation via tools/clicheck
make update-generated-completions    # Regenerate shell completions
make verify-generated-completions    # Verify completions are up-to-date

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.
