kubernetes

kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for Kubernetes, a system that runs and manages containerised applications across groups of machines. It covers setup, scaling, operators, health checks and recovery patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing Kubernetes deployments, services and network entry points, or when handling application health, memory limits and stateful systems such as databases.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand common ways to deploy and operate containers without managing every machine and failure by hand.

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

kubernetes 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.

Kubernetes Skill

Automated container deployment, scaling, and management.

Quick Start

Kubernetes (K8s) orchestrates clusters of machines running containers. It declarative states (YAML) to manage Deployments, Services, and Ingresses.

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

Production Patterns

Operators

For complex stateful applications (like Postgres or Redis), do not manually manage StatefulSets. Use Kubernetes Operators (e.g., CrunchyData Postgres Operator) to handle backups, failovers, and version upgrades automatically.

Architecture & Scaling

Probes

Always define livenessProbe and readinessProbe. The liveness probe determines if the pod needs to be restarted. The readiness probe determines if the pod is ready to receive network traffic from the Service load balancer.

Error Recovery

If pods frequently crash with OOMKilled (Out of Memory), ensure your resources.limits.memory is set correctly and matches the memory allocation limits of your runtime (e.g., Node.js --max-old-space-size).

Security Notes

Enable RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). Do not grant default Service Accounts cluster-admin privileges. Utilize Network Policies to restrict pod-to-pod communication (e.g., only the backend can talk to the database).

Relationships

Prerequisites: docker

Works Well With: helm, argo-cd

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with kubernetes — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

AI pitfalls

  • Referencing CLI flags or config keys that do not exist
  • Using outdated major versions of tools
  • Skipping lockfile or version pinning in examples

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 592 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
