local-controller-testing-workflow-github

local-controller-testing-workflow-github is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from konflux-ci/mintmaker. It costs 56 tokens per session (4,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for running MintMaker controller code on your computer while it works with a real Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes is a system for running and managing containerised applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up minikube or kind, creating test resources, configuring GitHub access, and repeatedly testing MintMaker controller behaviour.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to test controller changes without deploying the controller itself into the cluster, while still exercising the cluster resources it creates.

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

local-controller-testing-workflow-github 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 433 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Local controller testing workflow

Self-contained — follow this skill only; ask the user for GitHub App credentials and test repo before bootstrap.

Overview

Run the MintMaker controller as a local process (make run on your machine) while using a real Kubernetes cluster for CRDs, Secrets/ConfigMaps, and Tekton workloads.

Important split:

  • On your machine: controller (make run), kubectl, and your editor/debugger.
  • In the cluster: Tekton PipelineRuns, Renovate/OSV pipeline pods, and other in-cluster resources the controller creates.

The controller is not deployed into the cluster for this workflow.

Test YAML templates live in skills/local-controller-testing-workflow-github/assets/ — use those paths; do not rely on personal Desktop folders or other out-of-repo paths, unless instructed otherwise.

For AI agents — required before starting

Do not guess credentials or repository URLs. Ask the user for:

  1. GitHub App ID — numeric ID from GitHub App settings (not the client ID).
  2. GitHub App private key path — absolute path to the .pem file on the developer's machine.
    • The private-key path is only for substituting into the documented kubectl create secret ... --from-file=... command.
    • Never Read, @-mention, or shell-cat that file.
    • Never dump the resulting Secret with -o yaml / -o json.
    • If something goes wrong with the secrets, stop and ask the user to run the kubectl line themselves.
  3. Test repository URL — https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git where that GitHub App is installed.
  4. Git revision — branch or tag that exists in that repo (e.g. main).

Confirm the user has created and installed the GitHub App (see GitHub App setup) if they have not done so already.

Optional follow-ups if the environment is unclear:

  • Whether they are on Apple Silicon macOS (may need an amd64 VM — see below).
  • Whether they already have a local cluster running (minikube status / kind get clusters).

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.

local-controller-testing-workflow-github is a skill published in the GitHub repository konflux-ci/mintmaker (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 4,125 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
