tekton

tekton is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (899 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for Tekton, a Kubernetes-based system for automating build, test, and deployment pipelines. It directs work to Tekton pipeline authoring, installation and configuration, or Git-based pipeline management.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing PipelineRun and TaskRun YAML, managing Tekton with its operator, and running pipelines from repository changes and pull requests.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right Tekton instructions for the kind of CI/CD work being done.

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

tekton 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 8d 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.

Tekton — Skill Router

Operator: tektoncd/operator — latest v0.80.0 (2026-06-09); LTS v0.78.x (pipeline v1.6.x, EOL 2026-12-08), v0.77.x (EOL 2026-08-21). Min K8s 1.28. Pipelines-as-Code: tektoncd/pipelines-as-code — latest v0.49.0 (2026-07-06). API version: tekton.dev/v1 (authoring), operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1 (operator CRs), pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/v1alpha1 (PaC Repository CR).

Overview

Tekton is Kubernetes-native CI/CD. Three surfaces:

  • Authoring — writing PipelineRun/TaskRun YAML (resolvers, when/CEL, matrix, podTemplate, timeouts) in tekton.dev/v1
  • Operator — installs/manages Tekton components (Pipelines, Triggers, Dashboard, Chains, Results, PaC) via TektonConfig + component CRs
  • Pipelines-as-Code (PaC) — Git-native CI: PipelineRuns live in .tekton/ in the repo, triggered by Git events (push/PR/comment), results reported back as PR checks

Which Sub-Skill?

Match the user's request against the trigger keywords below, then call skill(name="<matched-skill>") to load the sub-skill's full content.

Routing Table

Trigger keywords User wants to... Skill to load
pipelinerun, taskrun, resolver, git-resolver, taskRef, when, CEL, matrix, podTemplate, nodeSelector, tolerations, timeout, finally, workspaces, tekton.dev/v1 Author/write Tekton pipeline YAML tekton-pipelines
operator, TektonConfig, TektonPipeline, TektonTrigger, TektonDashboard, TektonChain, TektonResult, TektonPruner, profile, install tekton, upgrade tekton, component CR Install/configure/manage Tekton components on a cluster tekton-operator
pipelines-as-code, pipelinesascode, PaC, .tekton/, Repository CR, on-event, on-target-branch, on-path-change, on-comment, on-cel-expression, ChatOps, /retest, /test, tkn pac, git_auth_secret, trigger_comment Git-native CI: pipelines in repo, triggered by Git events tekton-pac

Decision Tree

If routing is ambiguous:

  1. User is writing YAML for a pipeline (taskRef, when, matrix, podTemplate) → tekton-pipelines
  2. User is installing/configuring Tekton itself (TektonConfig CR, profiles, components) → tekton-operator
  3. User is setting up Git-triggered CI (Repository CR, .tekton annotations, webhooks, ChatOps) → tekton-pac
  4. Combination? → Load the one matching the primary action. Common pairs: operator installs Pipelines → PaC connects repos → pipelines authoring writes the runs. Authoring (.tekton/ files) + PaC (annotations on those files) are especially tight — load both for PaC work.

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.
