configure-skaffold is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,625 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for Skaffold, a tool that builds and runs applications on Kubernetes during development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or check skaffold.yaml files, configure local Kubernetes port forwarding, add dotenvx secret hooks, and update Skaffold API versions.
Why use it?
It helps keep Skaffold settings consistent and fixes common issues such as unsafe port forwarding, outdated configuration versions, and missing secret-generation steps.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

configure-skaffold 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 4d 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.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Checking Skaffold configuration compliance for a Kubernetes project Project has no k8s/ or helm/ directories (Skaffold is not applicable)
Fixing port forwarding security issues (binding to 0.0.0.0) Managing Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts directly
Adding dotenvx hooks for secret generation in Skaffold Configuring container builds without Kubernetes (use /configure:dockerfile)
Upgrading Skaffold API version to latest Debugging Skaffold runtime errors (use system-debugging agent)
Creating a standard skaffold.yaml from template Setting up a non-Skaffold local dev workflow (e.g., Docker Compose)

Context

  • K8s/Helm directories: !find . -maxdepth 1 -type d \( -name 'k8s' -o -name 'helm' \)
  • Skaffold config: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name \'skaffold.yaml\'
  • Skaffold API version: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'skaffold.yaml' -exec grep -m1 apiVersion {} +
  • Port forward config: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'skaffold.yaml' -exec grep -m1 address {} +
  • Profiles defined: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'skaffold.yaml' -exec grep -m10 'name:' {} +
  • Generate-secrets script: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name \'scripts/generate-secrets.sh\'
  • Dotenvx available: !dotenvx --version
  • Project standards: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name '.project-standards.yaml' -type f
