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-operations scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.

kubectl Operations

Execute kubectl commands using kubectl-mcp-server's operations tools.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

  • User mentions: "apply", "patch", "delete", "exec", "scale", "rollout"
  • Operations: modifying resources, running commands, scaling workloads
  • Keywords: "update", "change", "modify", "run command", "restart"

Priority Rules

Priority Rule Impact Tools
1 Dry run before apply in production CRITICAL kubectl_apply(dry_run=True)
2 Check current state before patching HIGH describe_* tools
3 Avoid force delete unless necessary HIGH kubectl_delete
4 Verify rollout status after changes MEDIUM kubectl_rollout_status

Quick Reference

Task Tool Example
Apply manifest kubectl_apply kubectl_apply(manifest=yaml)
Patch resource kubectl_patch kubectl_patch(type, name, namespace, patch)
Delete resource kubectl_delete kubectl_delete(type, name, namespace)
Exec command kubectl_exec kubectl_exec(pod, namespace, command)
Scale deployment scale_deployment scale_deployment(name, namespace, replicas)

Apply Resources

kubectl_apply(manifest="""
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx
  namespace: default
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:latest
""")

kubectl_apply(file_path="/path/to/manifest.yaml")

kubectl_apply(manifest="...", dry_run=True)

Patch Resources

kubectl_patch(
    resource_type="deployment",
    name="nginx",
    namespace="default",
    patch={"spec": {"replicas": 5}}
)

kubectl_patch(
    resource_type="deployment",
    name="nginx",
    namespace="default",
    patch=[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/replicas", "value": 5}],
    patch_type="json"
)

kubectl_patch(
    resource_type="service",
    name="my-svc",
    namespace="default",
    patch={"metadata": {"annotations": {"key": "value"}}},
    patch_type="merge"
)

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.
