hcp-create-agent

hcp-create-agent is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 31 tokens per session (3,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Deployment guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on pre-provisioned bare-metal or edge machines. It is intended for environments where hardware and network setup are managed directly rather than automated by a cloud provider.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create clusters from registered agents in bare-metal, edge, or disconnected infrastructure.
Why use it?
It clarifies the extra preparation needed for remote, on-premises, or air-gapped environments.

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

hcp-create-agent 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 5d 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.

HyperShift Agent Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters using the Agent provider, which is designed for bare metal and edge deployments where pre-provisioned agents are available.

When to Use This Skill

This skill is automatically invoked by the /hcp:generate agent command to guide the Agent provider cluster creation process.

Prerequisites

  • HyperShift operator installed and configured
  • Pre-provisioned agents available in a Kubernetes namespace
  • Pull secret for accessing OpenShift images
  • Understanding of the target deployment environment

Agent Provider Overview

What is the Agent Provider?

The Agent provider:

  • Designed for bare metal and edge deployments
  • Requires pre-provisioned agents (nodes registered in advance)
  • No cloud provider automation - manual network configuration required
  • Suitable for disconnected/airgapped environments
  • Direct control over hardware and network configuration

Common Use Cases

  • Edge Computing: Remote locations with limited connectivity
  • Bare Metal: On-premises hardware without cloud automation
  • Disconnected Environments: Airgapped environments with security requirements
  • Custom Hardware: Specialized hardware configurations
  • Regulatory Compliance: Environments requiring specific data locality

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Analyze Cluster Description

Parse the natural language description for Agent-specific requirements:

Environment Type Detection:

  • Edge: "edge", "remote", "limited connectivity", "small footprint"
  • Bare Metal: "bare metal", "on-premises", "physical hardware", "custom hardware"
  • Disconnected: "airgapped", "disconnected", "offline", "secure environment"

Resource Indicators:

  • Minimal: "small", "edge", "minimal resources", "single node"
  • Standard: "production", "multi-node", "high availability"

Special Requirements:

  • FIPS: "fips", "compliance", "security"
  • Custom Storage: "local storage", "storage class", "persistent volumes"
  • Network Isolation: "isolated", "private network", "custom networking"

hcp-create-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository openshift-eng/ai-helpers (116 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 3,413 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.
