k8s-manifest-generator

k8s-manifest-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frontal-labs/mcp-server. It costs 50 tokens per session (621 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of k8s-manifest-generator, Apache-2.0.

A guide to writing Kubernetes YAML files for running applications and their supporting resources. Kubernetes is software that manages workloads in containers across one or more machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate Kubernetes Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims. It helps prepare containerised applications for deployment and operation.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes when defining deployments, network services, configuration, secrets, and persistent storage. It also covers health checks, resource limits, security settings, and multiple environments.

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-manifest-generator 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 yesterday.

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 Manifest Generator

Step-by-step guidance for creating production-ready Kubernetes manifests including Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims.

Purpose

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for generating well-structured, secure, and production-ready Kubernetes manifests following cloud-native best practices and Kubernetes conventions.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create new Kubernetes Deployment manifests
  • Define Service resources for network connectivity
  • Generate ConfigMap and Secret resources for configuration management
  • Create PersistentVolumeClaim manifests for stateful workloads
  • Follow Kubernetes best practices and naming conventions
  • Implement resource limits, health checks, and security contexts
  • Design manifests for multi-environment deployments

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices Summary

  1. Always set resource requests and limits - Prevents resource starvation
  2. Implement health checks - Ensures Kubernetes can manage your application
  3. Use specific image tags - Avoid unpredictable deployments
  4. Apply security contexts - Run as non-root, drop capabilities
  5. Use ConfigMaps and Secrets - Separate config from code
  6. Label everything - Enables filtering and organization
  7. Follow naming conventions - Use standard Kubernetes labels
  8. Validate before applying - Use dry-run and validation tools
  9. Version your manifests - Keep in Git with version control
  10. Document with annotations - Add context for other developers

Troubleshooting

Pods not starting:

  • Check image pull errors: kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
  • Verify resource availability: kubectl get nodes
  • Check events: kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'

Service not accessible:

  • Verify selector matches pod labels: kubectl get endpoints <service-name>
  • Check service type and port configuration
  • Test from within cluster: kubectl run debug --rm -it --image=busybox -- sh

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.
