Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.01171 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00585 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00234 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00117 |
Grade A, and why
k8s-service-mesh 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kubernetes Service Mesh (Istio)
Traffic management, security, and observability using kubectl-mcp-server's Istio/Kiali tools.
When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- User mentions: "Istio", "service mesh", "mTLS", "VirtualService", "traffic shifting"
- Operations: traffic management, canary deployments, security policies
- Keywords: "sidecar", "proxy", "traffic split", "mutual TLS"
Priority Rules
| Priority | Rule | Impact | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Detect Istio installation first | CRITICAL | istio_detect_tool |
| 2 | Run analyze before changes | HIGH | istio_analyze_tool |
| 3 | Check proxy status for sync | HIGH | istio_proxy_status_tool |
| 4 | Verify sidecar injection | MEDIUM | istio_sidecar_status_tool |
Quick Reference
| Task | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Detect Istio | istio_detect_tool |
istio_detect_tool() |
| Analyze config | istio_analyze_tool |
istio_analyze_tool(namespace) |
| Proxy status | istio_proxy_status_tool |
istio_proxy_status_tool() |
| List VirtualServices | istio_virtualservices_list_tool |
istio_virtualservices_list_tool(namespace) |

What ships with it
2 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.
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.

k8s-service-mesh is a skill published in the GitHub repository rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server (956 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,171 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
