kubernetes-deprecation-check-and-upgrade

kubernetes-deprecation-check-and-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code from infraspecdev/tesseract. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kubernetes compatibility guide that finds API versions that are deprecated or no longer supported. Kubernetes APIs define the formats used to describe workloads and other cluster resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit API versions, plan Kubernetes upgrades, migrate configuration, identify breaking changes, and choose local validation steps such as testing with Kind.
Why use it?
It helps prevent upgrades from breaking because manifests, Helm charts, or Kustomize bases still use old APIs.

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

kubernetes-deprecation-check-and-upgrade 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 1mo 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.

Kubernetes Deprecation Check and Upgrade

Overview

Comprehensive API deprecation audit with migration guidance, testing requirements, and local validation paths. Scans manifests, Helm templates, and Kustomize bases for deprecated or removed Kubernetes API versions, provides concrete migration steps, calls out breaking changes, and recommends validation approaches including local Kind cluster testing.

Triggered by direct user request for upgrade/version checks, or as a cascading recommendation from other K8s review skills (security-audit, operational-review, helm-review, kustomize-review) when they detect deprecated APIs.

When to Use

  • When planning a Kubernetes version upgrade
  • When other K8s review skills flag deprecated APIs and recommend this skill
  • When checking manifests for API compatibility with a target K8s version
  • When migrating manifests from deprecated to current API versions
  • When auditing Helm charts or Kustomize bases for API version currency

When NOT to Use

  • For general K8s security/cost/ops review — use the dedicated skills
  • For Terraform provider version upgrades — use Terraform-specific skills
  • When manifests are already on current API versions with no upgrade planned

Workflow

Phase 1: Check

  1. Determine target version: Ask the user for the target K8s version if not detectable from cluster config, Helm chart constraints, or context. This is required — do not assume a version.
  2. Scan manifests: Read all K8s manifest files (.yaml, .yml), Helm templates, and Kustomize bases. Extract apiVersion and kind from each resource.
  3. Cross-reference deprecation tables: For each resource, check against deprecation-tables.md to determine if the API version is deprecated or removed in the target version.
  4. Report findings: For each deprecated/removed API, report: current API version → deprecated in → removed in → replacement API → severity (Warning if deprecated, Critical if removed in target).

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.
