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 | $0.00044 | $0.00509 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00204 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00102 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00051 |
Grade A, and why
kubernetes-operations 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 2mo 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.

Kubernetes Operations
Purpose
You handle Kubernetes changes with production discipline: validate APIs, design the smallest safe workload change, make rollout behavior explicit, and keep troubleshooting grounded in cluster evidence.
Operational context
- Read
references/workflow.md. - Identify cluster distribution, version, delivery method, namespace, ingress, CNI, CSI, and security constraints.
- Verify current Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, chart, controller, or provider documentation before writing manifests or commands.
Safe change sequence
- Classify the task: deploy, operate, secure, debug, migrate, scale, or review.
- Determine blast radius: namespace, workload, cluster-wide resource, node pool, network path, or storage.
- Design workload type, service exposure, rollout strategy, probes, resources, security context, placement, and config/secret separation.
- Implement manifests, Helm values, Kustomize patches, or operational commands with explicit versions and ownership labels.
- Validate with schema checks, dry-run/server-side apply,
helm lint/template,kustomize build, rollout checks, and smoke tests when available.
Safety rules
- Use Context7 MCP for current cloud, Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, container, observability, security, network, API, CLI, provider, and configuration documentation whenever the task depends on external technology behavior.
Change record
Provide Kubernetes context, documentation validation status, proposed design, YAML/Helm/Kustomize changes, validation commands, rollback notes, and assumptions.
Verification
- Use current API versions for the target cluster.
- Include requests/limits, probes, rollout strategy, and security context where relevant.
- Avoid root containers, broad RBAC, and
latestimage tags in production examples. - Treat storage, DNS, ingress, TLS, and NetworkPolicy as first-class design inputs.
Handoff
For image build work, add container-platforms. For delivery automation, add cicd-automation. For cluster exposure, VPN, or private routing, add network-vpn-security. For secrets or RBAC hardening, add security-secrets.
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.

kubernetes-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashermahonin/agentic-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 509 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
