hcp-create-kubevirt

hcp-create-kubevirt is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 26 tokens per session (4,682 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Deployment guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on an existing Kubernetes cluster using KubeVirt, which runs virtual machines inside Kubernetes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create hosted clusters whose nodes are virtual machines managed by KubeVirt.
Why use it?
It helps avoid network conflicts and covers the host cluster, virtual-machine storage, IPv6, and disconnected-environment requirements.

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-kubevirt 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 7d 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 KubeVirt Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters using the KubeVirt provider, which runs on existing Kubernetes clusters with special attention to network conflict prevention and virtual machine management.

When to Use This Skill

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

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes cluster with KubeVirt installed and configured
  • Sufficient compute resources on the host cluster
  • Storage classes configured for VM disks
  • HyperShift operator installed
  • Pull secret for accessing OpenShift images

KubeVirt Provider Overview

KubeVirt Provider Peculiarities

  • Runs on existing Kubernetes cluster: Host cluster provides compute resources
  • CRITICAL Network Isolation: Management cluster network cannot conflict with HostedCluster network
  • Storage Requirements: Requires storage classes for VM disks and persistent volumes
  • Virtual Machine Templates: Uses VM-based nodes instead of bare metal
  • IPv6 Support: Full IPv6 support available
  • Disconnected Capable: Can run in airgapped environments
  • Resource Planning: Requires sufficient compute resources on host cluster

Network Conflict Prevention (CRITICAL)

The most important aspect of KubeVirt clusters is preventing network conflicts:

  • Service/Cluster/Machine CIDRs must not overlap with management cluster
  • Default CIDRs are designed to avoid common management cluster ranges
  • Always check management cluster CIDRs before setting HostedCluster CIDRs

Common management cluster ranges to avoid:

  • 10.128.0.0/14 (common OCP default)
  • 10.0.0.0/16 (common private range)
  • 192.168.0.0/16 (common private range)

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Analyze Cluster Description

Parse the natural language description for KubeVirt-specific requirements:

Environment Type Detection:

  • Development: "dev", "development", "testing", "lab", "demo"
  • Production: "prod", "production", "critical", "enterprise"
  • Disconnected: "airgapped", "disconnected", "offline", "air-gapped"
