kubespy is a command-line tool for watching Kubernetes resources and reporting how they change over time. It helps developers inspect Pods, Services, Deployments, and other resources while they are created or updated.

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 | $0.01506 | $0.01506 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00602 | $0.00602 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00301 | $0.00301 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00151 | $0.00151 |
Grade A, and why
kubespy copilot-instructions.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 2mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
kubespy: Kubernetes Resource Observer
kubespy is a Go-based command-line tool for observing Kubernetes resources in real time. It watches and reports information about Kubernetes resources continuously, derived from work done to make Kubernetes deployments predictable in Pulumi's CLI.
Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.
Working Effectively
Bootstrap and Build
- ALWAYS run dependency management first:
make ensure-- downloads dependencies (first time ~25 seconds, subsequent runs <1 second). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 5+ minutes for first run.
- Build the application:
make build-- builds the kubespy binary (first time ~1 minute 20 seconds, subsequent builds ~5-6 seconds). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 3+ minutes.
- Install the application:
make install-- installs to $GOPATH/bin, takes ~5 seconds.
Testing
- Run tests:
make test_all-- runs all tests (takes ~13 seconds first time, <1 second subsequent runs). NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 2+ minutes.- NOTE: This project has no actual test files (0% coverage), tests complete quickly but don't validate functionality.
Linting
- Linting is broken in this repository due to deprecated linters in .golangci.yml
make lint-- FAILS due to deprecated linters (deadcode, golint, interfacer, structcheck, varcheck) and Go version compatibility issues- DO NOT attempt to fix the linting configuration unless specifically asked to address linting issues
- The CI pipeline (.github/workflows/ci.yml) does NOT run linting, only build and test
Running kubespy
- ALWAYS build the application first with
make build - Basic commands:
./kubespy --help-- shows available commands./kubespy version-- shows version (returns "dev" for local builds)./kubespy status --help-- help for status watching./kubespy trace --help-- help for resource tracing./kubespy changes --help-- help for change monitoring./kubespy record --help-- help for event recording
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.

kubespy copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository pulumi/kubespy (3,085 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,506 tokens to every session, about $0.0060 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
