k8s-incident

k8s-incident is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,251 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kubernetes incident-response guide for diagnosing outages, failed pods, unhealthy machines, and network problems in a Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes is software that runs and manages applications across groups of machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate pod failures, down machines, unreachable services, and control-plane problems with logs, events, status checks, and deployment rollbacks.
Why use it?
It gives a clear order for checking cluster health, collecting evidence, recording the timeline, and rolling back safely during an emergency.

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-incident 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect-diagnostics.py), 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.

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 Incident Response

Runbooks and diagnostic workflows for common Kubernetes incidents.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • User mentions: "incident", "outage", "emergency", "down", "not working"
  • Operations: emergency response, production issues, service degradation
  • Keywords: "urgent", "broken", "fix", "restore", "recover"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Check control plane first CRITICAL get_pods(namespace="kube-system")
2 Assess node health CRITICAL get_nodes
3 Gather events before changes HIGH get_events
4 Document timeline HIGH Manual notes
5 Rollback if safe MEDIUM rollback_deployment

Quick Reference

Incident First Tool Next Steps
Pod failure get_pod_logs(previous=True) describe_pod, get_events
Node down describe_node Check kubelet logs
Service unreachable get_endpoints get_network_policies
Control plane get_pods(namespace="kube-system") Check API server logs

Incident Triage

Quick Health Check

get_nodes()
get_pods(namespace="kube-system")
get_events(namespace)

Severity Assessment

Indicator Severity Action
Multiple nodes NotReady Critical Escalate immediately
kube-system pods failing Critical Control plane issue
Single pod CrashLoop Medium Debug pod
High latency Medium Check resources

Runbook: Pod Failures

CrashLoopBackOff

get_pod_logs(name, namespace, previous=True)
describe_pod(name, namespace)
get_events(namespace, field_selector="involvedObject.name=<pod>")
get_pod_metrics(name, namespace)

Common Causes:

  • OOMKilled → Increase memory limits
  • Exit code 1 → Application error in logs
  • Exit code 137 → Killed by OOM or SIGKILL
  • Exit code 143 → Graceful SIGTERM

ImagePullBackOff

describe_pod(name, namespace)
get_secrets(namespace)

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.
