hcp-create-powervs

hcp-create-powervs is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 30 tokens per session (967 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters, which are Kubernetes clusters managed through OpenShift, on IBM Cloud PowerVS. It covers PowerVS-specific processors, resources, authentication, and networking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deploying HyperShift clusters on PowerVS and selecting processor types, configuring IBM Cloud access, planning networks, and managing resources.
Why use it?
It addresses the infrastructure details that differ between PowerVS and other cloud platforms. This helps avoid configuration problems caused by regional limits, processor choices, or resource-group access.

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-powervs 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 PowerVS Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on IBM Cloud PowerVS, handling PowerVS-specific requirements including IBM Cloud API keys, processor types, and resource group management.

When to Use This Skill

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

Prerequisites

  • IBM Cloud CLI configured with API key
  • PowerVS service instance configured
  • IBM Cloud resource group access
  • HyperShift operator installed and configured

PowerVS Provider Overview

PowerVS Provider Peculiarities

  • IBM Cloud specific: Requires IBM Cloud API key and resource group
  • Different regions have different capabilities: Service availability varies by region
  • Limited instance types: Fewer processor types compared to other clouds
  • Network setup complex: Requires careful network planning
  • Processor type selection: Shared, dedicated, or capped options

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Interactive Parameter Collection

Required Parameters:

  1. IBM Cloud Authentication

    🔹 **IBM Cloud API Key**: Configure IBM Cloud authentication
       - Set IBMCLOUD_API_KEY environment variable, OR
       - Provide IBMCLOUD_CREDENTIALS file path
    
  2. Resource Group

    🔹 **Resource Group**: IBM Cloud resource group name?
       - Must exist in your IBM Cloud account
       - Example: default, hypershift-rg
    
  3. Region Configuration

    🔹 **Region**: IBM Cloud region?
       [default: us-south]
    🔹 **Zone**: Availability zone?
       [default: us-south]
    
  4. Processor Configuration

    🔹 **Memory**: Memory allocation per instance?
       [default: 32GB]
    🔹 **Processors**: Number of processors?
       [default: 0.5]
    🔹 **Processor Type**: Processor type?
       - shared (default) - Shared processor pool
       - dedicated - Dedicated processors
       - capped - Capped shared processors
