competition-k8s-control-plane

competition-k8s-control-plane is a skill for Codex from Saprophytic-seattle561/reverse-skill. It costs 117 tokens per session (677 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competition-k8s-control-plane, MIT.

A specialized workflow for security challenges involving the Kubernetes control plane. Kubernetes is software that manages containerized applications across a cluster of machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the related CTF sandbox setup to inspect Kubernetes API access, RBAC permissions, service accounts, admission hooks, secrets, controllers, and namespace boundaries.
Why use it?
A small permission or service-account mistake can let a workload access secrets or change other workloads. This workflow traces those permissions and their effects.

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

competition-k8s-control-plane 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 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.

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.

Competition K8s Control Plane

Use this skill only as a downstream specialization after $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator is already active and has established sandbox assumptions, node ownership, and evidence priorities. If that has not happened yet, return to $ctf-sandbox-orchestrator first.

Use this skill when the decisive path runs through Kubernetes control-plane state, API permissions, or controller behavior rather than a single container's runtime alone.

Reply in Simplified Chinese unless the user explicitly requests English.

Quick Start

  1. Separate manifest intent from live cluster state: API objects, mutations, controllers, secrets, and resulting workloads.
  2. Identify the active principal first: service account, kubeconfig identity, node credential, webhook, or controller.
  3. Map the smallest control-plane edge to its workload effect.
  4. Keep RBAC, service accounts, owner references, namespace boundaries, and secret consumers in compact evidence blocks.
  5. Reproduce the smallest cluster action that yields the decisive workload or secret effect.

Workflow

1. Map The API Trust Path

  • Record namespaces, service accounts, Roles, ClusterRoles, bindings, admission hooks, controllers, and the resources they can mutate.
  • Distinguish read access, create access, patch access, exec access, and secret access.
  • Keep principal, verb, resource, namespace, and resulting object in one chain.

2. Trace Mutation To Workload State

  • Show how an API action becomes a pod, volume mount, secret exposure, env injection, job run, or controller-created artifact.
  • Compare checked-in YAML against live objects after defaulting, admission mutation, or controller reconciliation.
  • Distinguish pod-runtime behavior from cluster-level mutation logic.

3. Reduce To The Decisive Cluster Path

  • Compress the result to the smallest chain: principal -> API permission -> mutated object -> resulting workload, secret, or route effect.
  • Keep kube objects, live describes, and consumed secret or config paths tied to the same namespace and controller.
  • If the problem narrows down to one container's mount or runtime deviation, switch back to the tighter container-runtime skill.

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.
