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

skaffold-orbstack scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Skaffold with OrbStack - Port-Forward-Free Development

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use a sibling Skaffold/container skill instead when...
Wiring Skaffold against the OrbStack local Kubernetes cluster Defining file-sync rules for the inner dev loop (skaffold-filesync)
Reaching services via *.k8s.orb.local, LoadBalancer, or Ingress without port-forward Adding pre-deploy test or post-deploy verify stages (skaffold-testing)
Migrating an existing project off kubectl port-forward onto OrbStack networking Hardening or shrinking the container image itself (container-development)

Overview

OrbStack provides superior local Kubernetes networking compared to other tools (minikube, kind, Docker Desktop). Services are accessible directly from macOS without port-forward.

Key OrbStack Advantages

Feature OrbStack minikube/kind
LoadBalancer auto-provision ✅ Yes ❌ Needs MetalLB
Wildcard DNS (*.k8s.orb.local) ✅ Yes ❌ No
cluster.local from host ✅ Yes ❌ No
Pod IP direct access ✅ Yes ❌ No
Auto HTTPS certificates ✅ Yes ❌ No

Service Access Methods

Method 1: LoadBalancer Services (Simplest)

Change service type from ClusterIP to LoadBalancer:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer  # OrbStack auto-provisions external IP
  ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: 8080
  selector:
    app: my-app

Access: curl http://my-app.default.svc.cluster.local from macOS

Method 2: Ingress with Wildcard DNS (Recommended)

One-time setup - Install Ingress controller:

# Ingress-NGINX (recommended)
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v1.8.1/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

# OR Traefik
helm repo add traefik https://traefik.github.io/charts
helm install traefik traefik/traefik

Create Ingress for your service:
