Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 244 Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.03306 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01653 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00661 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00331 |
Grade A, and why
k8s-yaml-generator 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 439 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
K8s YAML Generator
Generation Mindset
Mental Model: Kubernetes YAML generation is about translating application requirements into declarative infrastructure. Think in terms of desired state, not imperative commands.
Decision Framework:
- Start with the workload (Pod, Deployment, StatefulSet)—this defines what runs
- Add access layer (Service, Ingress)—this defines how it's accessed
- Configure runtime (ConfigMap, Secret)—this defines how it behaves
- Set constraints (ResourceQuota, LimitRange, NetworkPolicy)—this defines boundaries
When to use this skill:
- Creating new Kubernetes resources from scratch
- Converting Docker Compose or other formats to K8s manifests
- Generating CRD instances (ArgoCD, Istio, Cert-Manager, etc.)
- Building templates for Helm charts or Kustomize bases
- Scaffolding multi-resource applications
Generation philosophy: Generate correct, complete, validated YAML on first pass. Never output YAML that hasn't been validated.
Core Workflow
1. Understand Requirements
Gather: resource type, target K8s version, app requirements (replicas, ports, volumes), namespace/labels/annotations, and CRD specifics (kind, apiVersion, version).
2. Fetch CRD Documentation (if needed)
Query library documentation for CRD specifications:
tessl_query_library_docs: query: "<project-name> <CRD-kind> <version> specification"
# e.g. "argo-cd Application v1alpha1 specification"
# e.g. "istio VirtualService v1beta1 specification"
# e.g. "cert-manager Certificate v1 specification"
The query should include:
- Project/operator name (e.g., "argo-cd", "istio", "cert-manager")
- CRD kind (e.g., "Application", "Certificate", "VirtualService")
- API version (e.g., "v1alpha1", "v1", "v1beta1")
- Context about what you need (e.g., "spec fields", "examples", "configuration")
If documentation is insufficient, fall back to web search:
WebSearch: "<CRD-name> <version> spec documentation"
# e.g. "ArgoCD Application v1alpha1 spec documentation"
Always include the version in the query for compatibility.
What ships with it
9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

k8s-yaml-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository pantheon-org/tekhne (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 3,306 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
