k8s-kind

k8s-kind is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,825 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Tools for managing kind clusters. kind, short for Kubernetes IN Docker, runs local Kubernetes clusters as Docker containers for development and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help detect kind, create single- or multi-node clusters, load images into them, test CI/CD setups, and export debugging logs.
Why use it?
They make it easier to create local test clusters, load application images, and collect logs when something fails.

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 B, and why

k8s-kind scanned grade B 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 12d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

kind (Kubernetes IN Docker) Management

Manage local Kubernetes clusters using kubectl-mcp-server's kind tools (32 tools).

kind enables running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker container "nodes". It's ideal for local development, CI/CD testing, and testing across Kubernetes versions.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • User mentions: "kind", "local cluster", "Kubernetes in Docker", "dev cluster"
  • Operations: creating local clusters, loading images, CI/CD testing
  • Keywords: "local development", "test cluster", "load image", "multi-node"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Detect kind CLI first CRITICAL kind_detect_tool
2 Generate config for complex setups HIGH kind_config_generate_tool
3 Load images after cluster creation HIGH kind_load_image_tool
4 Export logs for debugging MEDIUM kind_export_logs_tool

Quick Reference

Task Tool Example
Detect kind kind_detect_tool kind_detect_tool()
Create cluster kind_create_cluster_tool kind_create_cluster_tool(name)
Load image kind_load_image_tool kind_load_image_tool(images, name)
Get kubeconfig kind_get_kubeconfig_tool kind_get_kubeconfig_tool(name)

Prerequisites

  • kind CLI: Required for all kind tools
    # macOS
    brew install kind
    # or download binary
    curl -Lo ./kind https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/latest/kind-$(uname)-amd64
    chmod +x ./kind && sudo mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/kind
    
  • Docker: Required (kind runs clusters in Docker containers)

Check Installation

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.
