k8s-awareness

k8s-awareness is a skill for Claude Code from eveld/claude. It costs 20 tokens per session (755 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing the right Kubernetes inspection or debugging workflow before running kubectl commands. Kubernetes is a platform for running containers, and kubectl is its command-line tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check resources, investigate issues across namespaces, find cluster-wide patterns, or launch a debug container for a failing pod.
Why use it?
It helps match a simple status check or a complex investigation to the appropriate Kubernetes skill or specialised agent.

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

k8s-awareness 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 10d 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.

Kubernetes Skills Guide

You have specialized Kubernetes debugging skills. Use these instead of raw kubectl commands for consistent, well-documented workflows.

Decision Tree

Skills vs Agents

Simple, single kubectl command query? → Use kubernetes skill

  • Better than: Running raw kubectl get pods commands
  • Example: "Check pod status in production namespace"
  • Use when: Quick resource check, single namespace, no correlation needed

Complex investigation requiring multiple steps? → Use Task tool with K8s agents (conserves context)

  • k8s-locator - Find and list resources across namespaces
  • k8s-analyzer - Diagnose pod/deployment issues, check logs/events
  • k8s-pattern-finder - Find patterns across resources, detect infrastructure issues
  • Use when: Multi-namespace investigation, pattern detection, cluster-wide issues

Specific pod crashing or failing? → Use k8s-debug skill

  • Launches ephemeral debug container in running pod
  • Example: "Debug the failing pod api-gateway-xyz"

When to Use Which Agent

Just need to find resources broadly? → Use k8s-locator agent only

  • Lists pods, deployments, services across namespaces
  • Saves to /tmp for later analysis
  • Example: "Get all pods in production, staging, development namespaces"

Investigating single pod/service issue? → Use k8s-locator + k8s-analyzer agents

  • Locator: Find relevant pods/resources
  • Analyzer: Diagnose health, check events, analyze logs
  • Example: "Debug service-b CrashLoopBackOff"

Need to find patterns or cluster-wide issues? → Use all three: k8s-locator + k8s-analyzer + k8s-pattern-finder

  • Locator: Fetch resources from all namespaces
  • Analyzer: Diagnose specific pod failures
  • Pattern-finder: Correlate across resources, detect node issues, cascade failures
  • Example: "Find why multiple pods are ImagePullBackOff across namespaces"

Available Kubernetes Tools

Type Name Purpose
Skill kubernetes Simple queries (single kubectl command)
Skill k8s-debug Launch ephemeral debug container
Agent k8s-locator Find and list resources across namespaces
Agent k8s-analyzer Diagnose pod/deployment issues
Agent k8s-pattern-finder Find patterns, cluster-wide issues

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.
