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 C, and why

k8s-helm scanned grade C with 2 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/lint-chart.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

  • Operations: installing charts, upgrading releases, rollbacks
  • Keywords: "package", "template", "lint", "repo add"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Template before install (dry run) CRITICAL template_helm_chart
2 Check existing releases first CRITICAL list_helm_releases
3 Lint charts before packaging HIGH lint_helm_chart
4 Note revision before upgrade HIGH get_helm_history
5 Verify values after upgrade MEDIUM get_helm_values
6 Update repos before search LOW update_helm_repos

What ships with it

3 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.
