performing-kubernetes-cis-benchmark-with-kube-bench

performing-kubernetes-cis-benchmark-with-kube-bench is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,567 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A Kubernetes security audit using kube-bench, a tool that checks a cluster against CIS security recommendations. It examines the control plane, worker machines, and role-based access controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess Kubernetes cluster security, review control-plane and worker-node settings, and check access permissions against CIS benchmarks.
Why use it?
It helps reveal gaps between a Kubernetes cluster’s configuration and widely used security guidance. This gives developers a clear list of checks that may need attention.

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

performing-kubernetes-cis-benchmark-with-kube-bench scanned grade A 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo mv kube-bench /usr/local/bin/

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

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
