linkerd-patterns

linkerd-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mattmre/EVOKORE-MCP-PUBLIC. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,924 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of linkerd-patterns, MIT.

A guide to Linkerd, a tool that manages communication between services running in Kubernetes. It covers traffic rules, encrypted connections, monitoring, and multi-cluster setups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up Linkerd, enable automatic mutual TLS, split traffic for canary releases, add retries and timeouts, and collect per-route metrics.
Why use it?
It helps teams secure and control service-to-service traffic without designing every feature from scratch.

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 B, and why

linkerd-patterns scanned grade B with 2 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 6d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSfL https://run.linkerd.io/install | sh

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

linkerd-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository mattmre/EVOKORE-MCP-PUBLIC (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,924 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 84% identical to linkerd-patterns, differing in 11 lines, and is treated as a copy.
