kube-agents: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/review-security-k8s-admission/SKILL.md

review-security-k8s-admission is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gke-labs/kube-agents. It costs 24 tokens per session (450 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security review checklist for Kubernetes admission control, the system that checks or changes objects before Kubernetes accepts them. It examines webhooks and policy rules for bypasses, outages, unsafe scope, and insecure traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review validating or mutating webhooks and policies, including failure behavior, exemptions, TLS, network access, injected settings, and reinvocation.
Why use it?
It helps find configurations that could let unsafe workloads through, expose cluster information, or make the Kubernetes API unavailable.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is gke-labs/kube-agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on kube-agents itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kube-agents configures →

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

review-security-k8s-admission 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

Task

Review Kubernetes Admission Control (ValidatingWebhookConfiguration, MutatingWebhookConfiguration, ValidatingAdmissionPolicy, MutatingAdmissionPolicy).

Checks

1. Webhook Failure Modes & DoS

  • Fail Closed: Flag failurePolicy: Ignore on security webhooks as a bypass risk (DoS allows bypass). Prefer Fail.
  • Timeouts: Flag high timeoutSeconds (e.g. 30s) as API connection exhaustion risks.

2. Scope Evasion

  • Exemptions: Scrutinize namespaceSelector/objectSelector. Flag blanket kube-system exemptions; recommend specific label targeting.
  • Binding Scope: Ensure VAP/MAP bindings don't inadvertently exclude critical users/namespaces.
  • CEL Failures: Flag VAP failurePolicy: Ignore for runtime errors. Prefer Fail.
  • Message Leakage: Ensure VAP messageExpression hides sensitive cluster metadata.

3. Traffic Security

  • TLS: Require caBundle and HTTPS.
  • Ingress: Require NetworkPolicy restricting webhook ingress solely to the API server.

4. Mutating Risks

  • Injection Abuse: Flag if label/annotation manipulation allows unprivileged pods to inject privileged sidecars/env vars.
  • Reinvocation: Review the inent of the webhook and identify if reinvocationPolicy: IfNeeded should be required. This ensures, if later webhooks make mutations that earlier webhooks have an opinion on, that the earlier webhooks are run again to ensure the same policies are applied to those later mutations. In general, if certain mutations are always expected, a validating webhook should also be used to confirm the mutation was successful. Validation always runs after mutation.
  • CEL Side Effects: Ensure MAP safely merges data without stripping security contexts.
  • Execution Order: Flag if legacy mutating webhooks can overwrite secure baselines injected by earlier MAPs.
Changes

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.
