Ark DevSpace

Ark DevSpace is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dwmkerr/claude-code-agent. It costs 12 tokens per session (604 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development setup for running Ark from a cloned source-code repository with DevSpace. DevSpace is a tool for deploying and developing applications in a Kubernetes cluster.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Ark with `devspace deploy`, check its Kubernetes services and pods, and wait for the Ark components to become ready. It requires a cloned Ark repository and a running kind cluster.
Why use it?
It provides a documented way to test Ark pull requests or source changes in a local or development cluster. If DevSpace fails, the instructions require stopping and diagnosing that failure.

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

Ark DevSpace 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 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.

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.

Ark DevSpace

Run Ark from a cloned repository using devspace for development/PR testing.

CRITICAL: Failure Behavior

If devspace fails, you MUST STOP and report the error. Do NOT try alternative approaches like ark-cli or npm install. DevSpace failures must be diagnosed and fixed.

When to use

  • Testing Ark pull requests
  • Running Ark from source code

Prerequisites

  • Ark repo cloned (e.g., /workspace/ark or /workspace/agents-at-scale-ark)
  • Kind cluster running (use kind-setup skill if needed)
  • Verify cluster: kubectl cluster-info

Steps

  1. Navigate to ark repo

    cd /workspace/ark  # or /workspace/agents-at-scale-ark
    
  2. Deploy with devspace (non-interactive)

    devspace deploy
    

    This deploys all components and exits. Check the exit code - if non-zero, STOP and troubleshoot.

  3. Verify deployment succeeded

    kubectl get pods -n ark-system
    kubectl get pods -n cert-manager
    
  4. Wait for pods to be ready

    kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pods --all -n ark-system --timeout=300s
    
  5. Check services

    kubectl get svc -n ark-system
    

Troubleshooting

Check devspace logs

ls -la .devspace/logs/
cat .devspace/logs/default.log

Common failures

  1. "namespace not found" - Set namespace first

    devspace use namespace ark-system
    
  2. "image pull error" - Build images locally

    devspace build
    
  3. Cert-manager not ready - Wait for it

    kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment --all -n cert-manager --timeout=120s
    
  4. Cluster connectivity - Re-export kubeconfig

    kind export kubeconfig --name ark-cluster --internal
    

If devspace exits with error

  1. Check the exit code and error message
  2. Check .devspace/logs/ for detailed logs
  3. Check pod status: kubectl get pods -A
  4. Check events: kubectl get events -A --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
  5. STOP and report the specific error - do not try workarounds
