Atmos is an infrastructure runtime that coordinates tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Packer, Ansible, and containers through consistent commands and configuration. It is for teams running cloud infrastructure on laptops, in CI, or through AI agents across environments and regions. Its catalogue entries provide skills, agents, commands, and other add-ons for Atmos workflows.
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.

SkillSpector: 10 findings, up to high
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 →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00059 | $0.02733 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01367 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00547 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00273 |
Grade A, and why
atmos-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 4d 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 — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Atmos Native Kubernetes Components
Use this skill for the native Kubernetes component type (components.kubernetes). It manages
plain YAML/JSON manifests and Kustomize overlays through the Kubernetes Go SDK with server-side
apply. No kubectl or kustomize binary is required. This is distinct from Helm chart deployment —
see atmos-helm for charts, or atmos-helmfile
for Helmfile-based releases.
This feature is experimental (IsExperimental() == true in cmd/kubernetes/kubernetes.go).
kubectl/kustomize names describe manifest-processing behavior, not the CLI binaries.

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.

atmos-kubernetes is a skill published in the GitHub repository cloudposse/atmos (1,372 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 2,733 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
