cluster-provision

cluster-provision is a skill for Claude Code from quay/ai-helpers. It costs 84 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for requesting a temporary OpenShift cluster through the OpenShift CI Gangway service, downloading its access configuration, and checking that it works. OpenShift is a platform for running containerized applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when tests or development need a real OpenShift cluster, including creating, checking, reporting, and removing that temporary environment.
Why use it?
It avoids manually requesting and configuring a test cluster. The cluster expires automatically after about four hours, limiting the lifetime of temporary test resources.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is Bash(bash .claude/scripts/cluster-provision.sh *).

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

cluster-provision 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 2d 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

Cluster Provision

Provision an ephemeral OpenShift cluster from a Hive ClusterPool via the OpenShift CI Gangway REST API.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS into at most two values before invoking Bash:

  • Arg 1: KUBECONFIG path (default: /tmp/k)
  • Arg 2: OCP version (default: 4.18)

Set variables from $ARGUMENTS:

KUBECONFIG_PATH = first arg or /tmp/k
OCP_VERSION = second arg or 4.18

Step 1: Provision the cluster

bash .claude/scripts/cluster-provision.sh up "$KUBECONFIG_PATH" "$OCP_VERSION"

The script handles everything: triggering the Gangway API, polling for readiness, downloading the kubeconfig, and validating connectivity. Wait for the === Cluster Ready === output.

Step 2: Verify

oc --kubeconfig="$KUBECONFIG_PATH" whoami
oc --kubeconfig="$KUBECONFIG_PATH" get nodes

Step 3: Report

Summarize connection status and remind user:

  • The cluster is ready
  • Kubeconfig path
  • Cluster server URL
  • Cluster auto-expires in ~4 hours
  • Prow job URL for reference

Status

bash .claude/scripts/cluster-provision.sh status

Teardown

bash .claude/scripts/cluster-provision.sh down

Troubleshooting

Error Fix
GANGWAY_TOKEN is not set Run: oc login https://api.ci.l2s4.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443 --web && export GANGWAY_TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t)
HTTP 401 Token expired — re-authenticate with oc login
KUBECONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY is not set Contact the CI team for the decryption passphrase
Timeout after 40 min Pool exhausted or job stuck — check the Prow job URL

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.
