kubernetes

kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to running applications in Kubernetes, a system that schedules and manages containers across a group of machines. It covers deployment settings, resource usage, health checks, networking, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and review Kubernetes manifests, debug failing pods, configure scaling and rollouts, and diagnose cluster networking or DNS problems.
Why use it?
It helps prevent applications from restarting, running out of memory, failing health checks, or being deployed unsafely.

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 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 9d 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

Purpose

Deploy workloads that survive node failures, scale predictably, and fail visibly. Most Kubernetes incidents trace back to three things: wrong resource limits, wrong probes, and a rollout that had no way to be judged healthy.

When to Use

  • Writing or reviewing Kubernetes manifests.
  • Debugging a pod that will not start, keeps restarting, or is being evicted.
  • Configuring autoscaling, rollouts, or disruption budgets.
  • Diagnosing networking or DNS problems inside a cluster.

Capabilities

  • Workload configuration: Deployments, StatefulSets, Jobs, CronJobs.
  • Resource requests, limits, and quality-of-service classes.
  • Liveness, readiness, and startup probes.
  • Rollout strategies, PodDisruptionBudget, and graceful shutdown.
  • Networking: Services, Ingress, NetworkPolicy, cluster DNS.
  • Debugging: events, logs, ephemeral containers.

Inputs

  • The workload, its resource profile, and its startup behavior.
  • The cluster's constraints: node sizes, available classes, policies.
  • The symptom, if debugging: pod status, events, exit code.

Outputs

  • Manifests with explicit requests, limits, and probes.
  • A rollout that is safe under disruption.
  • A root cause with the evidence that identified it.

Workflow

  1. Set requests and limits deliberately — Requests determine scheduling; limits determine throttling and killing. A pod with no requests is scheduled anywhere and evicted first.
  2. Configure the three probes distinctly — Startup probe protects a slow boot. Readiness controls traffic. Liveness restarts a hung process. Conflating them causes a slow-starting pod to be killed forever.
  3. Handle SIGTERM — Kubernetes sends SIGTERM, waits terminationGracePeriodSeconds, then SIGKILL. A process that ignores SIGTERM drops in-flight requests on every deploy.
  4. Protect the rolloutmaxUnavailable, maxSurge, and a PodDisruptionBudget so a node drain cannot take the last replica.
  5. Debug from the eventskubectl describe pod before kubectl logs. The reason is usually in the events, not the application output.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

kubernetes is a skill published in the GitHub repository nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (26 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,310 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
