working-with-operator

working-with-operator is a cursor rule for Cursor from jumpstarter-dev/jumpstarter. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,385 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository guidance for changing the Jumpstarter Operator, a Kubernetes component that manages Jumpstarter deployments. It points to the operator's custom resource definitions, controller code, deployment files, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Kubernetes custom resources, controller reconciliation logic, access rules, endpoints, deployment configuration, or end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
It helps developers find the right files and understand which parts of the operator are affected by a change.

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

working-with-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 1mo 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.

Key Files

  • api/v1alpha1/jumpstarter_types.go: Defines the Jumpstarter CRD spec and status
  • internal/controller/jumpstarter/jumpstarter_controller.go: Main reconciliation logic
  • internal/controller/jumpstarter/jumpstarter_controller.go:buildConfig(): Translates CRD spec to internal config format for ConfigMaps

Development Workflow

After Modifying CRD Types

When you change jumpstarter_types.go, you MUST regenerate code:

cd controller/deploy/operator
make manifests generate

This will:

  1. Regenerate CRD YAML in config/crd/bases/
  2. Regenerate DeepCopy methods in zz_generated.deepcopy.go

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.
