cert-manager

cert-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for cert-manager, a Kubernetes tool that requests and renews TLS certificates. It covers resources such as Certificates, Issuers, and ClusterIssuers, which describe where certificates come from and where they are used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create and manage cert-manager resources, configure ACME DNS-01 or HTTP-01 validation, use self-signed or CA issuers, and connect certificates with Gateway API.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work involved in obtaining, storing, and renewing certificates in Kubernetes. It also covers common certificate-authority and ACME setups, including DNS and HTTP validation.

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

cert-manager 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 7d 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.

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.
