selectors

A coding rule for accessing properties of Kubernetes resources, such as pods, secrets, and custom resources. Kubernetes is a system for running and managing containerized applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reading names, namespaces, labels, annotations, API versions, kinds, provider settings, and other resource-specific values.
Why use it?
It replaces repeated direct property access with shared selector functions, keeping resource reads consistent and easier to maintain.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 397 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

selectors 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.

What it actually says

Selector Usage Rule

When accessing properties of Kubernetes resources (CRDs, Pods, Secrets, etc.), always use a selector function instead of direct property chains.

Common selectors (@utils/crds/common/selectors)

Available for all K8sResourceCommon resources:

  • getName(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.name
  • getNamespace(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.namespace
  • getUID(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.uid
  • getCreatedAt(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.creationTimestamp
  • getLabels(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.labels
  • getAnnotations(resource) instead of resource?.metadata?.annotations
  • getApiVersion(resource) instead of resource?.apiVersion
  • getKind(resource) instead of resource?.kind

Provider-specific:

  • getType(provider) instead of provider?.spec?.type
  • getProviderSecretRef(provider) instead of provider?.spec?.secret
  • getVddkInitImage(provider) instead of provider?.spec?.settings?.vddkInitImage

CRD-specific selectors

If a property access is specific to a CRD (e.g., Conversion, Plan), check for existing selectors under @utils/crds/<crd>/selectors.ts.

When no selector exists

  1. If the property is common to all K8s resources, add it to src/utils/crds/common/selectors.ts
  2. If the property is CRD-specific, add it to the CRD's selectors file under src/utils/crds/<crd>/selectors.ts
  3. Never access metadata.* or spec.* or status.* directly in component or hook code

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.

selectors is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository kubev2v/forklift-console-plugin (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 397 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
