Higress is a cloud-native API gateway built on Istio and Envoy that routes and manages APIs and can be extended with WebAssembly plugins. It is used to manage APIs for AI models and MCP servers as well as general services, and the catalogue entries provide agent workflows and integrations for operating it.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
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 →
- high Tool Misuse · line 394 Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00099 | $0.03945 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.01578 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00789 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00394 |
Grade A, and why
nginx-to-higress-migration scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Nginx to Higress Migration
Automate migration from ingress-nginx to Higress in Kubernetes environments.
⚠️ Critical Limitation: Snippet Annotations NOT Supported
Before you begin: Higress does NOT support the following nginx annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippetnginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippetnginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/http-snippetThese annotations will be silently ignored, causing functionality loss!
Pre-migration check (REQUIRED):
kubectl get ingress -A -o yaml | grep -E "snippet" | wc -lIf count > 0, you MUST plan WASM plugin replacements before migration. See Phase 6 for alternatives.
Prerequisites
- kubectl configured with cluster access
- helm 3.x installed
- Go 1.24+ (for WASM plugin compilation)
- Docker (for plugin image push)
Pre-Migration Checklist
Before Starting
- Backup all Ingress resources
kubectl get ingress -A -o yaml > ingress-backup.yaml - Identify snippet usage (see warning above)
- List all nginx annotations in use
kubectl get ingress -A -o yaml | grep "nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io" | sort | uniq -c - Verify Higress compatibility for each annotation (see annotation-mapping.md)
- Plan WASM plugins for unsupported features
- Prepare test environment (Kind/Minikube for testing recommended)
During Migration
- Install Higress in parallel with nginx
- Verify all pods running in higress-system namespace
- Run test script against Higress gateway
- Compare responses between nginx and Higress
- Deploy any required WASM plugins
- Configure monitoring/alerting
After Migration
- All routes verified working
- Custom functionality (snippet replacements) tested
- Monitoring dashboards configured
- Team trained on Higress operations
- Documentation updated
- Rollback procedure tested

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.

nginx-to-higress-migration is a skill published in the GitHub repository higress-group/higress (9,720 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 3,945 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
