kubernetes-containers

kubernetes-containers is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KiranEswaran/engineering-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (940 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for running containerised applications with Kubernetes, a system that manages application containers across computers, and Helm, a tool for packaging Kubernetes configurations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing Kubernetes configuration files, Helm charts, or kubectl commands, and when setting up or troubleshooting pods, services, permissions, and cluster workloads.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common mistakes when defining deployments, networking, access permissions, settings, and resource limits for applications running in a cluster.

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-containers 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 10d 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 & Containers

Core Concepts

  • Pods: Smallest deployable units
  • Deployments: Declarative pod management
  • Services: Network abstraction
  • ConfigMaps/Secrets: Configuration injection
  • RBAC: Access control

Essential Commands

# Context & Namespace
kubectl config get-contexts
kubectl config use-context prod
kubectl get pods -n my-namespace

# Pod Operations
kubectl get pods -o wide
kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
kubectl logs <pod-name> -f --tail=100
kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- /bin/sh

# Apply & Delete
kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml
kubectl delete -f manifest.yaml
kubectl rollout restart deployment/<name>

# Debugging
kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
kubectl top pods
kubectl port-forward svc/my-service 8080:80

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

kubernetes-containers is a skill published in the GitHub repository KiranEswaran/engineering-skills (10 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 940 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
