gke-networking

gke-networking is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gke-labs/kube-agents. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,641 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide and tool set for configuring networking in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google Cloud’s managed Kubernetes service. It covers private clusters, traffic between services, DNS, outgoing connections, network policies, and IP ranges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or update GKE networking, configure private or VPC-native clusters, set up DNS and outgoing traffic, apply Kubernetes network settings, or plan IP ranges.
Why use it?
It provides a defined approach for choosing cluster networking settings instead of piecing them together manually. This helps keep nodes private, control access, and plan network capacity.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

gke-networking 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 11d 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.

GKE Networking

This reference covers networking configuration for GKE clusters. The golden path enforces private, VPC-native clusters with Dataplane V2.

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.
