kdbie-dev

kdbie-dev is a skill for Claude Code from KxSystems/kx-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for operating KX Insights Enterprise, a data platform managed through the kxi command-line tool and Kubernetes, a system for running containerised applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create, check, package, upload, deploy, inspect, and remove KX Insights Enterprise packages, as well as install or upgrade the platform.
Why use it?
It separates local package building from changes to a running installation and highlights steps that can remove or replace deployed resources.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

kdbie-dev 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 8d 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 — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operating KX Insights Enterprise via kxi

kxi is a Python CLI (location varies — often a venv) that drives a live Insights Enterprise deployment. Every command runs against a specific profile (~/.insights/config.toml) and a Kubernetes namespace, and several actions (pm deploy/teardown, install delete) are destructive. So before running anything: resolve the active profile and namespace, and never operate on a namespace the user didn't explicitly name. The core workflow is packages. Two command groups, easy to confuse:

kxi package — build/validate/pack a package locally (initvalidatepackit), producing a .kxi file. Nothing touches a running instance. kxi pm — the package manager on a running IE instance: push (upload), deploy (activate), list/info, teardown. push does not deploy — they're deliberately separate steps.

(kxi install handles the Helm/K8s lifecycle; kxi obs retrieves logs.)

Configuration

KXI_BIN=kxi

The binary is a python executable kxi, which may be available on the main path, but allow the user to define a different location as it is a common pattern to install the kxi binary in a virtual environment.

Profile Config File Location

IMPORTANT: The kxi CLI stores all profile configuration in ~/.insights/config.toml (TOML format, kxi ≥ 1.12). There is no ~/.kxi directory — do not reference or attempt to create it.

  • Active profile: current_profile = "default" field at the top of the file
  • Per-profile settings (hostname, namespace, realm, etc.) under [profiles.<name>]
  • Legacy installs (kxi < 1.12) use ~/.insights/cli-config (INI format) as a fallback

To read the active profile's hostname programmatically:

python3 -c "import tomllib; c=tomllib.load(open('$HOME/.insights/config.toml','rb')); p=c.get('current_profile','default'); print(c['profiles'][p]['hostname'])"

The kxi binary allows for the user to create and utilise different profiles by appending --profile <profile> to the kxi command. For example kxi --profile uat would issue kxi commands against that uat profile. Profiles are created via the kxi configure --profile <profile> command and configuration stored in ~/.insights/config.toml. To permanently switch the CLI default: $KXI_BIN workon <profile>.

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.
