app-config

app-config is a skill for Claude Code from confighub/confighub-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A configuration tool that turns files such as .env, YAML, JSON, or TOML into versioned ConfigHub data and then into a Kubernetes ConfigMap. A ConfigMap is a Kubernetes object for storing non-secret application settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import application settings, create or update ConfigHub configuration units, render ConfigMaps, and connect configuration changes to Kubernetes deployments.
Why use it?
It lets developers keep settings in familiar file formats while connecting them to tracked deployment configuration. It can also update a workload's identifying hash so configuration changes trigger a restart.

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

app-config 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 11d 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 — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

app-config

Execution mode: follow references/execution-modes.md. This Skill grants no automatic tool permission. In standalone use, submit each exact requested write once to the host permission system; a stricter external overlay may stop it before Bash.

For an existing Unit, read its current HeadRevisionNum and DataHash immediately before the write and disclose that the stock convenience command does not carry those reviewed values as atomic preconditions. That race limits the claim you can make; it does not make this standalone Skill read-only.

Turn a user's application configuration file — .env, .properties, .yaml, .json, .toml, .ini, or plain text — into a versioned ConfigHub Unit, then render it into a Kubernetes ConfigMap via an Upsert link carrying a render-configmap Invocation. No server worker and no Target are needed — rendering is a normal ConfigHub function that runs during link resolution.

Canonical doc: https://docs.confighub.com/markdown/guide/app-config.md. Confirm flags with cub <verb> --help before composing.

Why this matters

ConfigHub's AppConfig/* toolchains let the user keep config in its native format (devs read .properties like .properties, not wrapped YAML) while everything else still works: revision history, set-string-path / set-int-path / set-bool-path mutations, vet-jsonschema validation, variants / upstream-downstream, Needs/Provides. The render step ships it as a ConfigMap — either an immutable hashed one (Kustomize-style; old pods keep reading old ConfigMaps during a rolling update) or a mutable stable-named one (with a content-hash annotation on the pod template to trigger rolling restarts).

Supported formats (ToolchainType)

Toolchain File When
AppConfig/Env .env envFrom injection (pair with --as-key-value true on the Invocation); simple key=value.
AppConfig/Properties .properties Java apps.
AppConfig/YAML .yaml Most frameworks; full structured config.
AppConfig/JSON .json Node / JVM apps that prefer JSON.
AppConfig/TOML .toml Rust / Python apps.
AppConfig/INI .ini Legacy apps.
AppConfig/Text .txt Plain text; metadata in YAML frontmatter delimited by ---.

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.
