Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.00365 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00182 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
cluster-manage 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 11d 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.
What it actually says
Cluster Manage
Switch between Docker and Kubernetes backends for Kurtosis.
Check current cluster
kurtosis cluster get
Returns docker or kubernetes.
List available clusters
kurtosis cluster ls
Switch cluster
# Switch to Docker
kurtosis cluster set docker
# Switch to Kubernetes (uses current kubectl context)
kurtosis cluster set kubernetes
After switching, restart the engine:
kurtosis engine restart
Kubernetes setup
When using Kubernetes:
-
Ensure
kubectlis configured and can reach your cluster:kubectl cluster-info kubectl get nodes -
Switch Kurtosis to Kubernetes:
kurtosis cluster set kubernetes kurtosis engine start -
Start the gateway (required for local CLI to reach the k8s-based engine):
kurtosis gateway & -
Verify:
kurtosis engine status
Config file
The cluster setting is stored in the Kurtosis config file:
kurtosis config path
Typically at ~/Library/Application Support/kurtosis/kurtosis-config.yml on macOS.
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.

cluster-manage is a skill published in the GitHub repository kurtosis-tech/kurtosis (551 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 365 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
