gke-storage

gke-storage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gke-labs/kube-agents. It costs 19 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for choosing and configuring storage for applications running in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google's managed Kubernetes service. It covers storage classes, persistent disks, managed file storage, and Cloud Storage buckets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure storage classes, use Kubernetes storage drivers, and set up persistent disks, shared file storage, or mounted Cloud Storage.
Why use it?
It helps you choose storage that matches an application's needs for persistence, shared access, performance, and expansion.

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-storage 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.

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 Storage Best Practices

This skill provides guidance on managing storage in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters.

Overview

GKE supports various storage options, from Persistent Disks to Cloud Storage. Choosing the right storage type and configuring it correctly is essential for performance and reliability.

Workflows

1. Configure Storage Classes

StorageClasses allow you to describe the "classes" of storage you offer. Different classes might map to quality-of-service levels, or to backup policies.

Example StorageClass Manifest:

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: premium-rwo
provisioner: pd.csi.storage.gke.io
parameters:
  type: pd-ssd
  replication-type: regional-pd
volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
allowVolumeExpansion: true

Setting allowVolumeExpansion: true is highly recommended for production.

2. Use CSI Drivers

GKE includes container storage interface (CSI) drivers for dynamic provisioning of storage.

  • Compute Engine Persistent Disk CSI Driver: Default for block storage.
  • Google Cloud Filestore CSI Driver: For managed NFS (ReadWriteMany).
  • Cloud Storage FUSE CSI Driver: For mounting GCS buckets as volumes.

Example using Filestore CSI Driver:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: filestore-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: standard-rwm # Pre-defined for Filestore
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Ti

3. Implement Volume Expansion

If allowVolumeExpansion is true in the StorageClass, you can resize a volume by updating the PVC manifest.

Steps:

  1. Edit the PVC manifest and increase the storage request.
  2. Apply the changes.

Kubernetes will automatically resize the file system on the volume.

Best Practices

  1. Use CSI Drivers: Always use the official Google Cloud CSI drivers for best integration and performance.
  2. Enable Volume Expansion: Always set allowVolumeExpansion: true in your StorageClasses to allow for growth.
  3. Choose the Right Disk Type: Use pd-ssd or pd-extreme for I/O intensive workloads, and pd-standard or pd-balanced for others.
  4. Use ReadWriteMany Carefully: Filestore (NFS) is great for sharing data among multiple Pods, but be aware of file locking and consistency semantics.

gke-storage is a skill published in the GitHub repository gke-labs/kube-agents (53 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 565 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
