ambient

ambient is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ambient-code/platform. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for Ambient Code Platform, a software system, on OpenShift, Red Hat’s Kubernetes platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy production, temporary pull-request test, or developer installations, configure secrets, deploy with Kustomize, and troubleshoot failures.
Why use it?
It explains how to install the platform in an OpenShift namespace and check whether its services started correctly.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash components/pr-test/install.sh <namespace> <image-tag>.

Good fit Use it to deploy production, temporary pull-request test, or developer installations, configure secrets, deploy with Kustomize, and troubleshoot failures.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 40
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 285
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
  • low Supply Chain · line 48
    Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.
    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.

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

ambient 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.

Ambient Installer Skill

You are an expert in deploying the Ambient Code Platform to OpenShift clusters. This skill covers everything needed to go from an empty namespace to a running Ambient installation using images from quay.io.

Developer registry override: If you need to use images from the OpenShift internal registry instead of quay.io (e.g. for local dev builds), see docs/internal/developer/local-development/openshift.md.


Platform Components

Deployment Image Purpose
backend-api quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_backend Go REST API, manages K8s CRDs
frontend quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_frontend NextJS web UI
agentic-operator quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_operator Kubernetes operator
ambient-api-server quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_api_server Stateless API server
ambient-api-server-db (postgres sidecar) API server database
public-api quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_public_api External API gateway
postgresql (upstream) Unleash feature flag DB
minio (upstream) S3 object storage
unleash (upstream) Feature flag service

Runner pods (vteam_claude_runner, vteam_state_sync) are spawned dynamically by the operator — they are not standing deployments.

Credential sidecar containers are injected into session pods when the corresponding credential type is configured:

< /dev/null | Sidecar Container | Image | Port | Provider | |-------------------|-------|------|----------| | credential-github | quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_credential_github | 8091 | GitHub PAT / App | | credential-jira | quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_credential_jira | 8092 | Jira / Atlassian | | credential-k8s | quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_credential_k8s | 8093 | Kubeconfig | | credential-google | quay.io/ambient_code/vteam_credential_google | 8094 | Google Workspace |


Prerequisites

  • oc CLI installed and logged in to the target cluster
  • kustomize installed (curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/master/hack/install_kustomize.sh | bash)
  • Target namespace already exists and is Active
  • Quay.io images are accessible from the cluster (public repos or image pull secret in place)

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.
