kubernetes

kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. It costs 144 tokens per session (3,349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for running Kubernetes, a system that deploys and manages containerised applications across one or more machines. It covers production deployment, networking, monitoring, security, scaling, and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy web services, workers, databases, scheduled jobs, and monitoring agents; configure Helm, service networking, autoscaling, and security controls; and investigate problems.
Why use it?
Kubernetes has many interacting parts, making production setup and failures difficult to handle safely. This skill provides guidance for choosing the right Kubernetes resource and operating it.

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

kubernetes 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/debug-pod.sh, scripts/generate-manifest.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kubernetes Architect

Production-grade Kubernetes: deployments, Gateway API, zero-trust networking, service mesh, eBPF observability, and debugging. Follows NSA/CISA hardening guidelines.

Decision Framework

Before deploying to Kubernetes, answer:

  • Does the app need horizontal scaling (3+ replicas)? → Kubernetes
  • Is it a single-instance app with simple needs? → Docker Compose or VPS
  • Is the team already familiar with Kubernetes? → Proceed. If not, consider managed (EKS, GKE, AKS)
  • Does the app need advanced networking (service mesh, ingress routing)? → Kubernetes + Gateway API
  • Is the infrastructure budget tight? → Single-node k3s or Docker Compose for dev
  • Multiple services with different scaling profiles? → Kubernetes (HPA per service)

Workflow

Step 1: Determine deployment type

Type Kind Use case
Stateless Deployment Web APIs, workers
Stateful StatefulSet Databases, queues (use with caution)
Batch Job/CronJob Migrations, periodic tasks
Daemon DaemonSet Logging, monitoring agents

If uncertain, start with a Deployment. See assets/deployment-template.yaml for the full production template.

Step 2: Generate manifest

Use the scaffold script:

scripts/generate-manifest.sh -n api -i myregistry.com/api:1.0.0 -p 3000 -r 3 -o manifests/

This creates: deployment.yaml, service.yaml, hpa.yaml, pdb.yaml with all security contexts, probes, resource requests/limits, and topology spread constraints pre-configured.

If the service expects HTTP traffic, also create a Gateway API HTTPRoute.

Template alternatives: Helm and Kustomize

The scaffold script above generates raw manifests. For more complex deployments, consider:

Tool Best for Pattern
Helm (helm create) Packaging reusable apps, versioned releases, templating values.yaml → Go templates → rendered manifests. Use helm lint and helm template for validation.
Kustomize (kubectl kustomize) Environment-specific overlays, patching base manifests base/ + overlays/{dev,staging,prod}/ with strategic merge patches. Native in kubectl.
Raw manifests Simple services, fast iteration, no templating overhead Plain YAML in manifests/. Use with the scaffold script.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 EliasOulkadi/shokunin (113 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 144 tokens to every session and 3,349 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
