k8s-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deploying and managing applications running on Kubernetes, a system for running containers across a cluster of machines. It covers gradual releases, including canary and blue-green deployments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update deployments, change container images, scale applications, release versions gradually, check health, and manage Helm releases.
Why use it?
It provides checks before and after changes, helping reduce deployment mistakes and making it easier to monitor or roll back a release.

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-deploy 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 9d 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 Deployment Workflows

Comprehensive deployment strategies using kubectl-mcp-server tools, including Argo Rollouts and Flagger for progressive delivery.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • User mentions: "deploy", "release", "rollout", "scale", "update", "upgrade"
  • Operations: creating deployments, updating images, scaling replicas
  • Strategies: canary, blue-green, rolling update, recreate
  • Keywords: "new version", "push to production", "traffic shifting"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Preview with template before apply CRITICAL template_helm_chart
2 Check existing state first CRITICAL get_pods, list_helm_releases
3 Use progressive delivery for prod HIGH rollout_* tools
4 Verify health after deployment HIGH get_pod_metrics, get_endpoints
5 Keep rollback revision noted MEDIUM get_helm_history
6 Scale incrementally LOW scale_deployment

Quick Reference

Task Tool Example
Deploy from manifest kubectl_apply apply_manifest(yaml, namespace)
Deploy with Helm install_helm_chart install_helm_chart(name, chart, namespace)
Update image set_deployment_image set_deployment_image(name, ns, container, image)
Scale replicas scale_deployment scale_deployment(name, ns, replicas=5)
Rollback rollback_deployment rollback_deployment(name, ns, revision=0)
Canary promote rollout_promote_tool rollout_promote_tool(name, ns)

Standard Deployments

Deploy from Manifest

kubectl_apply(manifest_yaml, namespace)

Deploy with Helm

install_helm_chart(
    name="my-app",
    chart="bitnami/nginx",
    namespace="production",
    values={"replicaCount": 3}
)

Scale Deployment

scale_deployment(name, namespace, replicas=5)

Rolling Update

set_deployment_image(name, namespace, container="app", image="myapp:v2")

rollout_status(name, namespace, resource_type="deployment")

What ships with it

5 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.

Changes

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.
