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

Destroy HC AWS 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.

Destroy HostedCluster

This skill destroys a HyperShift HostedCluster and all associated AWS infrastructure.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • You need to clean up a test HostedCluster
  • You want to destroy a HostedCluster and its AWS resources (VPC, subnets, NAT gateways, IAM roles, etc.)
  • You need to remove orphaned HostedClusters from previous test runs

Prerequisites

Source the environment file before using this skill:

source dev/claude-env.sh

Additional requirements:

  • AWS credentials loaded (source $AWS_CREDS_SOURCE)
  • KUBECONFIG pointing to management cluster ($MGMT_KUBECONFIG)
  • hypershift binary built (./bin/hypershift)

Environment Configuration

Environment variables from dev/claude-env.sh:

Variable Description
AWS_CREDENTIALS Path to AWS credentials file
AWS_CREDS_SOURCE Script to source AWS env vars
AWS_REGION AWS region
MGMT_KUBECONFIG Path to management cluster kubeconfig

Command

source $AWS_CREDS_SOURCE && \
KUBECONFIG=$MGMT_KUBECONFIG \
./bin/hypershift destroy cluster aws \
  --name <CLUSTER_NAME> \
  --namespace <NAMESPACE> \
  --aws-creds $AWS_CREDENTIALS \
  --region $AWS_REGION

Parameters

Parameter Description Default
--name Name of the HostedCluster to destroy Required
--namespace Namespace where the HostedCluster exists clusters
--aws-creds Path to AWS credentials file $AWS_CREDENTIALS
--region AWS region $AWS_REGION

What Gets Destroyed

The command destroys:

  • HostedCluster and NodePool resources
  • HostedControlPlane namespace and all resources
  • AWS VPC and subnets
  • NAT gateways and internet gateways
  • Route tables
  • Security groups
  • DHCP options
  • Private hosted zones (Route53)
  • OIDC provider
  • IAM roles and instance profiles
  • VPC endpoints
  • Elastic IPs

Quick Cleanup for Orphaned HCs

If a HostedCluster is stuck deleting, you can force remove it:
