config-builder

A guided configuration creator for KrakenD, an API gateway that routes and combines requests to backend services. It creates configurations for simple setups and uses architecture planning for more complex ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new KrakenD setup, add endpoints, configure an API gateway, or organize a multi-service design.
Why use it?
It helps structure routes and gateway settings correctly, including choices that depend on the KrakenD edition or configuration format.

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

config-builder 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 2d 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.

KrakenD Configuration Builder

Purpose

Guides users through creating new KrakenD configurations with best practices, proper structure, and edition-appropriate features using interactive creation with validation.

When to activate

  • User asks to create new KrakenD configuration
  • User mentions "new config", "create krakend", "setup api gateway", "build config"
  • User wants to add endpoints to existing config
  • User needs help structuring their KrakenD setup

What this skill does

Creates KrakenD configurations using two approaches: Simple (1-3 endpoints) - Generate directly using tools with targeted questions, validation, and optimizations. Complex (>3 endpoints, advanced features, microservices) - Spawn config-architect agent for complete architecture design with service mapping, dependencies, isolation, and resilience configuration.

KrakenD-Specific Quirks

Flexible Configuration: CE uses .tmpl files with Go templates (requires FC_ENABLE=1, FC_SETTINGS env vars). EE uses flexible_config.json (auto-detected, no env vars). Schema: Always use versionless https://www.krakend.io/schema/krakend.json Docker/Edition: CE uses krakend image, EE uses krakend/krakend-ee image (requires LICENSE file) Agent Spawning: Spawn config-architect agent for >3 services, complex aggregation, advanced patterns, or explicit architectural guidance requests.

Dynamic Sources

  • Features & Templates: Get configuration templates for specific features or browse https://www.krakend.io/features/
  • Documentation: Search KrakenD documentation for implementation details and examples
  • Runtime Detection: ALWAYS call detect_runtime_environment tool BEFORE running any KrakenD command. Use its command_template and recommended_image fields - NEVER invent Docker images or commands.
  • KrakenD MCP Tools: Use the available tools for config generation, validation, edition checking, and feature templates

Enterprise Edition Approach

  • User requests EE feature: Build the config with EE features, explain the benefits. Don't suggest CE alternatives unless explicitly asked.
  • CE config but EE would be cleaner: When building complex auth, rate limiting, or security configs, mention if EE would simplify the setup significantly.

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.

config-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository krakend/claude-code-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 775 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
