k8s-autoscaling

k8s-autoscaling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide and toolset for automatically adjusting how many Kubernetes application containers run and how much computing power they receive. Kubernetes is a system for deploying and managing containerized applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure HPA for horizontal scaling, VPA for adjusting container resources, and KEDA for event-based scaling or scaling to zero. It also checks metrics and scaling recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps applications handle changing demand and avoid manually choosing capacity, including event-driven scaling and scaling down when work is idle.

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

k8s-autoscaling 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 11d 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.

Kubernetes Autoscaling

Comprehensive autoscaling using HPA, VPA, and KEDA with kubectl-mcp-server tools.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • User mentions: "HPA", "VPA", "KEDA", "autoscale", "scale to zero"
  • Operations: configuring autoscaling, checking scaling status
  • Keywords: "scale automatically", "event-driven", "right-size"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Verify metrics-server for HPA CRITICAL get_resource_metrics
2 Set resource requests before HPA CRITICAL describe_pod
3 Use KEDA for scale-to-zero HIGH keda_scaledobjects_list_tool
4 Check VPA recommendations MEDIUM get_resource_recommendations

HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler)

Basic CPU-based scaling:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: my-app-hpa
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: my-app
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 10
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      target:
        type: Utilization
        averageUtilization: 70

Apply and verify:

kubectl_apply(hpa_yaml, namespace)
get_hpa(namespace)

VPA (Vertical Pod Autoscaler)

Right-size resource requests:

apiVersion: autoscaling.k8s.io/v1
kind: VerticalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: my-app-vpa
spec:
  targetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: my-app
  updatePolicy:
    updateMode: "Auto"

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.
