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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00104 | $0.01018 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00509 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00204 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
platform-mesh 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
OpenShift Service Mesh — Istio & Traffic Management
Skill for service mesh configuration and Istio-based traffic management on OpenShift.
Rules
- Always use correct apiVersion and kind. Every CRD example must use the real apiVersion from the CRD table below. Never invent CRDs or apiVersions.
- Load references on-demand. Only read reference files when the user's question requires detailed field-level knowledge. Do not preload all references.
- Validate YAML before presenting. Every YAML example must be syntactically valid and use real field names from the CRD schemas.
- Prefer canonical patterns. Use patterns from reference docs as starting points. Adapt to the user's specifics rather than inventing from scratch.
- State trade-offs. When recommending a traffic strategy (canary vs blue-green, weight-based vs header-based), briefly note what you give up.
How This Skill Works
| User asks about | Reference | Topic |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh, mTLS, Istio, OSSM, VirtualService, DestinationRule, Gateway, Kiali, traffic, canary+Istio, blue-green+Istio, circuit breaker, fault injection | references/istio.md |
Mesh |
Load references/istio.md before answering.
CRD Reference Table
| Kind | apiVersion | Project |
|---|---|---|
| Istio | sailoperator.io/v1 | OSSM |
| IstioCNI | sailoperator.io/v1 | OSSM |
| VirtualService | networking.istio.io/v1 | Istio |
| DestinationRule | networking.istio.io/v1 | Istio |
| Gateway | networking.istio.io/v1 | Istio |
| PeerAuthentication | security.istio.io/v1 | Istio |
| AuthorizationPolicy | security.istio.io/v1 | Istio |
Safety Model
Every write operation follows a 3-step protocol: Generate, Preview, Confirm.
Read-only operations (mesh status, proxy check, Kiali queries) do NOT require confirmation.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Generate | Produce YAML manifest or CLI command, show in a code block |
| Preview | kubectl apply --dry-run=client -f <file> or kubectl diff -f <file> |
| Confirm | Ask "Apply this? (yes/no)" — do NOT proceed without affirmative response |
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

platform-mesh is a skill published in the GitHub repository alimobrem/openshift-platform-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 1,018 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
