kubernetes

kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dhaupin/vant. It costs 9 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide to Kubernetes, a system for running and coordinating containerized applications. It focuses on creating local Kubernetes clusters with KIND and managing them with kubectl.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or delete local clusters, apply deployment files, list pods, view logs, and run commands inside pods.
Why use it?
It provides the commands and manifest structure needed to test services locally and inspect their running containers.

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 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 1mo 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.

2. Create Cluster

kind create cluster
kubectl get pods

3. Common Commands

Command What
kind create cluster Create K8s cluster
kind delete cluster Delete cluster

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 dhaupin/vant (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 373 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
