kubescape-operator

kubescape-operator is a skill for Claude Code from nitinjain999/platform-skills. It costs 203 tokens per session (3,580 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for installing, configuring, and troubleshooting the Kubescape operator inside a Kubernetes cluster. It covers security posture scans, relevant vulnerability findings, runtime threat detection, and NetworkPolicies based on observed traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up continuous cluster security checks, identify loaded-code vulnerabilities, detect unusual runtime activity, and draft network access rules from traffic.
Why use it?
It helps teams find security issues in deployed workloads, focus on vulnerabilities in packages that actually run, and investigate unexpected container behavior.

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

kubescape-operator 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run Kubescape inside the cluster: posture that updates itself, CVEs ranked by whether they load, alerts on behaviour a container never showed, and NetworkPolicies drafted from real traffic.

Read references/kubescape-operator.md before responding. It holds the preflight, the capability matrix and install profiles, the scanner image override, result commands, runtime and NetworkPolicy details, exceptions, metrics and troubleshooting. The working files are in examples/kubescape-operator.

The GitOps engine for this organisation is ${user_config.gitops_engine}. If that reads as a literal placeholder or is empty, it is not configured: detect Flux (kubectl get crd helmreleases.helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io) or Argo CD (kubectl get crd applications.argoproj.io), or ask.

Ownership boundary (enforced at the menu)

Question Authoritative command
"Scan continuously, keep results in the cluster" this command
"Which CVEs are in code that actually runs?" this command (vulns)
"Alert on unexpected container behaviour" this command (runtime), or /platform-skills:runtime-security where Falco runs
"Draft NetworkPolicies from traffic" this command (netpol)
"Score the cluster now / CIS audit / PR gate" /platform-skills:kubescape
"CVE reports with Trivy Operator" /platform-skills:trivy k8s
"Dashboards and alert routing" /platform-skills:observability

Mode dispatch

Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS as the mode. When $ARGUMENTS is empty, or is a question in plain words, run the interactive wizard.

Mode What it does
install Preflight, pick a profile, write the Flux (or Argo CD) manifests, install, verify, upgrade or roll back
vulns Read and rank vulnerability results; on-demand scan; private registries
runtime Enable detection, check learning progress, bind rules, route alerts, test an alert
netpol Turn a generated policy into a reviewed NetworkPolicy in Git
exceptions Accept a risk in the cluster: SecurityException with reason, author, expiry
metrics Exporter, ServiceMonitor, alert rules
debug Diagnose an operator that installs but misbehaves

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.

kubescape-operator is a skill published in the GitHub repository nitinjain999/platform-skills (70 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 203 tokens to every session and 3,580 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-18.
