antithesis-setup-k8s

antithesis-setup-k8s is a skill for Claude Code from antithesishq/antithesis-skills. It costs 120 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup workflow for preparing Kubernetes deployments for Antithesis, a testing system that explores software behavior under many conditions. It converts Helm charts, Kustomize templates, or raw Kubernetes files into a smaller set of deployment manifests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and validate the Antithesis Kubernetes configuration before adding test workloads or launching a run.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of reshaping deployment files and checks that the test harness can validate and deploy the system under test.

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

antithesis-setup-k8s 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.

Antithesis K8s Setup

Skill version: 2026-09-08 2e4a837

Purpose and Goal

Scaffold the antithesis/ harness needed to bring the system up in Antithesis in a mostly idle, ready state.

Success means:

  • The deployment definition exists in antithesis/config/manifests/ and references the required SUT images. This is a collection of raw Kubernetes manifests (no helm, no kustomize)
  • antithesis/config/manifests/ is a minimized setup of the k8s-based SUT that is required for the Antithesis run
  • snouty validate on antithesis/config/ succeeds
  • The harness is ready for the antithesis-workload skill to add or iterate on test templates, assertions, and workload code
  • If the user asks to submit or launch a run, use the antithesis-launch skill — do not run snouty launch directly

Prerequisites

  • The user must have a collection of Kubernetes artifacts. This can be a helm chart, kustomize templates, or Kubernetes manifests.

    • If the user has a helm chart, they must provide a values file that can be templated into the helm chart. This can be in the form of a standard values.yaml, an ArgoCD Application with a values field, or a FluxCD HelmRelease with a values field.
    • If the user has a collection of helm charts, determine what subset (ideally a single one or a couple to make one standalone application) of helm charts will be the system under test in Antithesis. You may have to ask the user which one they want. Do not infer what the single target SUT is.
  • The user must have already pushed up images to the antithesis registry or is using public images. The images that should be pushed up are all the images that are required to run the templatized helm chart. There are instructions for this in references/manifests.md

  • DO NOT PROCEED if snouty is not installed. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antithesishq/snouty/refs/heads/main/README.md for installation options.

  • This skill runs kubectl, kind, k3s, kapp to touch an active Kubernetes cluster to validate that the manifests are able to come up in a Kubernetes environment. Ask the user before running any of these commands. The skill should only touch Kubernetes resources that it has created and should clean up all resources it creates before exiting.
