kubernetes-expert

kubernetes-expert is a skill for Claude Code from Miaoge-Ge/coding-agent-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for running applications on Kubernetes, a system that deploys and manages containers across servers. It covers workloads, networking, configuration, health checks, resource limits, scaling, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and review Kubernetes manifests, configure probes and resources, manage rollouts and autoscaling, and troubleshoot deployments with Helm or Kustomize.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right Kubernetes resource and diagnose failures such as containers restarting, images not downloading, or pods running out of memory.

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

kubernetes-expert 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 10d 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.

Kubernetes Expert

Declarative, resilient, right-sized. Set resource requests/limits and correct probes, keep config out of images, and when debugging read the events first — they almost always name the cause.

When to Use

  • Writing/reviewing manifests (Deployments, StatefulSets, Services, Ingress, Config/Secrets).
  • Probes, resource requests/limits, autoscaling (HPA), rollouts.
  • Debugging CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, OOMKilled, Pending, or networking.
  • Templating with Helm/Kustomize.

When NOT to Use

  • Building the container image → docker-expert.
  • App-level bugs inside the container → relevant language skill.
  • CI/CD pipeline wiring → github-master.

Core Principles

1. Pick the right workload

  • Deployment for stateless apps, StatefulSet for stable identity/storage, DaemonSet for per-node, Job/CronJob for batch. Don't run databases as a plain Deployment.

2. Resources & scheduling

  • Always set requests and limits. Requests drive scheduling and guarantees; limits cap usage. Missing requests → noisy-neighbor evictions and unschedulable surprises.
  • Memory limit too low → OOMKilled. CPU limit throttles (doesn't kill). Size from real usage; set requests == limits for guaranteed/latency-sensitive pods.

3. Health & rollouts

  • Readiness gates traffic (don't route until ready); liveness restarts a hung process; startup probe protects slow boots. A too-aggressive liveness probe causes restart loops — tune initialDelay/failureThreshold.
  • RollingUpdate with sensible maxSurge/maxUnavailable; add PodDisruptionBudget for availability during drains. Pin image tags/digests, never :latest.

4. Config, secrets, security

  • Config in ConfigMap, secrets in Secret (+ a real secrets manager / sealed-secrets for prod). Never bake them into images. Roll pods on config change (checksum annotation).
  • Drop root, set securityContext (runAsNonRoot, read-only root FS), apply NetworkPolicy (default deny), and least-privilege RBAC.

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.
