homelab-operator

homelab-operator is a cursor rule for Cursor from AndresJejen/beitlab_home_lab_cluster. It costs 256 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository rules for operating a generic k3s home lab, which is a small Kubernetes cluster for self-hosted services. They define safe conventions for inventory, workloads, storage, shutdowns, and cluster changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding workloads, checking nodes, running Ansible or kubectl diagnostics, managing storage, and maintaining the repository’s lab configuration.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of exposing real machine details, deleting stored data, or changing cluster state without confirmation.

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

homelab-operator 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 12d 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

Homelab operator

This repo is a generic k3s template (Pi, other SBC, or an older Debian PC). Placeholders are lab.example, controller, worker1. Do not check in real inventory.

  • Prefer uv run homelab / uv run ansible-playbook (see docs/cli.md).
  • Single-node users: docs/getting-started-single-node.md.
  • Read AGENTS.md and docs/ai/README.md before changing cluster state.
  • Never commit inventory.ini, *.kubeconfig, or Vault init JSON.
  • New workloads: homelab.local/node-pool: pi, Longhorn if they need a disk, register in applications.json, add to shutdown/resume playbooks if PVC.
  • Do not delete PVCs or Longhorn volumes unless the user asks to destroy data.
  • Do not run shutdown or node-remove playbooks without an explicit confirm in the current user message.
  • If you are unsure, diagnose with kubectl get / ansible ping and ask.
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.
