hcp-create-openstack

hcp-create-openstack is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 27 tokens per session (661 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on OpenStack, an open-source cloud infrastructure platform. It covers credentials, networks, floating IPs, instance flavors, quotas, and images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deploying HyperShift clusters on OpenStack and configuring access, worker-machine sizes, external networking, quotas, and operating-system images.
Why use it?
It addresses the infrastructure choices that can prevent a cluster from working correctly on OpenStack. The guidance helps match the cluster setup to available networks and compute resources.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/user/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml.

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-openstack 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 4d 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 OpenStack Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on OpenStack, handling OpenStack-specific requirements including credentials, networking, and flavor selection.

When to Use This Skill

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

Prerequisites

  • OpenStack CLI configured with appropriate credentials
  • OpenStack project with sufficient quotas
  • External network configured for floating IPs
  • HyperShift operator installed and configured

OpenStack Provider Overview

OpenStack Provider Peculiarities

  • Requires OpenStack credentials: Must have valid clouds.yaml or environment variables
  • Floating IP networks needed: External network access for cluster API
  • Flavor selection critical: Instance flavors affect performance and cost
  • Custom images may be required: RHCOS images for worker nodes
  • Network topology affects routing: Proper network configuration essential

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Interactive Parameter Collection

Required Parameters:

  1. OpenStack Credentials

    🔹 **OpenStack Credentials**: Path to OpenStack credentials file?
       - Usually clouds.yaml format
       - Example: /home/user/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
    
  2. External Network

    🔹 **External Network ID**: OpenStack external network UUID?
       - Required for floating IP allocation
       - Find with: openstack network list --external
    
  3. Flavor Selection

    🔹 **Node Flavor**: Choose instance flavor:
       - m1.large (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) - Standard workloads
       - m1.xlarge (8 vCPU, 16GB RAM) - Performance workloads
       - [default: m1.large]
    

Step 2: Generate Command

Standard Configuration:

hypershift create cluster openstack \
  --name openstack-cluster \
  --namespace openstack-cluster-ns \
  --openstack-credentials-file /path/to/clouds.yaml \
  --openstack-external-network-id <external-network-uuid> \
  --openstack-node-flavor m1.large \
  --base-domain example.com \
  --pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
  --release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi
