template-catalog

template-catalog is a skill for Claude Code from controlplane-com/ai-plugin. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding and installing ready-made Control Plane templates for common infrastructure such as databases, caches, message queues, search services, and gateways. The templates are packaged deployments built with Helm, a tool for installing Kubernetes applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to browse, inspect, install, upgrade, or remove templates for PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, MongoDB, MySQL, and similar services.
Why use it?
It avoids assembling related workloads, storage, credentials, and network rules by hand, which can lead to missing backups, exposed databases, or single-instance deployments.

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

template-catalog 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 17d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Template Catalog

Production-tested charts (Helm under the hood) for databases, caches, queues, brokers, search, and gateways, with storage, firewall, and HA variants wired. A catalog template is the default for any common component; a custom workload needs a hard reason, such as an extension or image the template cannot take.

Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, or Redis: add_database, not the steps below. Calling it again with a new allowWorkloads changes who can connect by reapplying the installed template: the password, version, and storage stay as installed, but changes made outside its values, such as volume snapshot settings, are reset. Tell the user that before reapplying. The HA and multi-location variants (postgres-highly-available, mongodb-cluster, and the rest) go through the install steps.

Credentials: create the prerequisite secret first

  • Most templates name a secret in their values that must exist before the install: postgres, mongodb, and pgvector read config.credentialsSecretName (a dictionary with username, password, and database); mysql and mariadb read credentialsSecretName (the same three keys) and rootPasswordSecretName (an opaque secret). The get_template example values mark each one.
  • A missing secret does not fail the install: the release installs and the workload wedges silently, with no logs.
  • values key names differ per template (secret names, resources, access scope): copy them from get_template, never from memory.
  • Create it with create_secret before installing: values: "generate" for passwords nobody needs to know, values: "user" for a key the user already has (they type it into the Console). Then put its name in values.
  • Never write a password or key into values: values pass through the chat and are stored in the release. A template that still takes a secret value directly in values is installed from the Console, or with cpln helm install -f and a values file the user fills in locally.
