Install HO AWS is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openshift/hypershift. It costs 17 tokens per session (512 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for installing the HyperShift Operator with a custom image, AWS private settings, and external-dns. external-dns is a component that manages DNS records for services running in a cluster.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install a locally built or custom operator image into a private AWS management cluster with DNS and OIDC settings.
Why use it?
It standardizes a setup that otherwise requires several credentials, cloud settings, and installation options.

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

Install HO 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 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.

What it actually says

Install HyperShift Operator (HO)

Use this skill to install HyperShift Operator with a custom image, external-dns, and private AWS settings.

When to Use This Skill

Use when:

  • You need to install HO with a custom image
  • You want external-dns configured for AWS
  • You are using private AWS settings for the management cluster
  • Changes to the CRDs generated APIs don't need an image rebuild, just a make api && make build

Prerequisites

Source the environment file before using this skill:

source dev/claude-env.sh

Environment Configuration

Environment variables from dev/claude-env.sh:

Variable Description
HO_IMAGE_REPO Container registry for HO images
AWS_CREDENTIALS Path to AWS credentials file
EXTERNAL_DNS_DOMAIN Domain filter for external-dns
OIDC_BUCKET S3 bucket for OIDC
AWS_REGION AWS region
MGMT_KUBECONFIG Path to management cluster kubeconfig

Parameters

  • HO_IMAGE should point to the image you want to install, for example $HO_IMAGE_REPO:autonode.

Command

Run make build first if needed

KUBECONFIG=$MGMT_KUBECONFIG \
./bin/hypershift install \
  --hypershift-image $HO_IMAGE_REPO:YOUR_TAG \
  --external-dns-provider=aws \
  --external-dns-credentials $AWS_CREDENTIALS \
  --external-dns-domain-filter=$EXTERNAL_DNS_DOMAIN \
  --oidc-storage-provider-s3-bucket-name $OIDC_BUCKET \
  --oidc-storage-provider-s3-credentials $AWS_CREDENTIALS \
  --oidc-storage-provider-s3-region $AWS_REGION \
  --private-platform=AWS \
  --aws-private-creds $AWS_CREDENTIALS \
  --enable-conversion-webhook=false \
  --aws-private-region=$AWS_REGION

Notes

  • Build the CLI first: make hypershift (this produces ./bin/hypershift).
  • Ensure the AWS credentials file exists and is readable.
  • The MGMT_KUBECONFIG must point to your management cluster.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
