kubernetes-ontology-access

kubernetes-ontology-access is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Colvin-Y/kubernetes-ontology. It costs 111 tokens per session (5,513 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

An onboarding and troubleshooting guide for kubernetes-ontology, a tool that builds a graph of Kubernetes objects and their relationships. Kubernetes is a system for running containerized applications across machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or operate the tool, query Kubernetes topology, diagnose Pod or workload failures, or hand findings to its visual topology viewer.
Why use it?
It guides you from setup to read-only topology checks and helps explain why Pods or other workloads are failing without changing them automatically.

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 B, and why

kubernetes-ontology-access scanned grade B with 2 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 12d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Kubernetes Ontology Access

Guide users from zero to useful diagnosis with kubernetes-ontology.

This skill is the repository's onboarding playbook for three connected modes:

  1. AI-agent automatic troubleshooting through stable daemon-backed queries.
  2. CLI-driven topology and diagnostic inspection.
  3. Human visual intervention through the topology viewer.

Prefer read-only, daemon-backed workflows. The project observes Kubernetes objects and builds an in-memory graph; it must not mutate observed workloads.

Operating Posture

Do not merely summarize the docs. Drive the user toward the next useful action:

  • Identify the user's current state: no setup, existing daemon, CLI-only query, diagnostic request, viewer handoff, or source development.
  • Choose the shortest path that satisfies the request.
  • Give concrete commands the user or agent can run next, with safe defaults named inline.
  • When command output is needed, ask for or run that command before moving to later steps.
  • Keep cluster-changing actions explicit: ask for confirmation before running helm upgrade --install or any command that changes cluster resources.
  • Do not require a repository checkout for CLI-only diagnostics against an already running daemon.

First Response Checklist

When this skill triggers, quickly establish:

  • Whether the user is inside a local checkout of this repository.
  • Target cluster context and logical cluster name.
  • Desired namespaces for collection (contextNamespaces).
  • Deployment path: release binary server + client for private clusters or short-lived local diagnosis, Helm + release CLI when cluster nodes can pull the image, source build for development.
  • Whether the environment can reach GitHub Releases and whether cluster nodes can pull ghcr.io or an internal mirror.
  • Diagnostic entry, if known: Pod or Workload, namespace, and name.
  • Whether they want the viewer opened for human inspection.

If values are missing and a safe default exists, proceed with the default and name it. Ask only for values that are required and cannot be inferred, such as the target namespace/name for a diagnostic query.

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-ontology-access is a skill published in the GitHub repository Colvin-Y/kubernetes-ontology (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 5,513 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
