scylladb-kubernetes

scylladb-kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code from scylladb/agent-skills. It costs 203 tokens per session (1,858 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to deploying and running ScyllaDB database clusters on Kubernetes using ScyllaDB's official Operator. Kubernetes is a system for managing containerized applications across computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing the Operator, creating ScyllaDB clusters, configuring node resources, and troubleshooting Kubernetes deployments.
Why use it?
It helps configure ScyllaDB's storage, CPU, and rack or zone requirements correctly within Kubernetes.

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

scylladb-kubernetes 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 21d 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.

ScyllaDB on Kubernetes (ScyllaDB Operator)

If the task goes beyond this skill, use the parent scylladb skill for a ScyllaDB overview and the list of other ScyllaDB skills. If it is not installed, fetch it from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scylladb/agent-skills/main/skills/scylladb/SKILL.md.

ScyllaDB Operator is the official Kubernetes Operator for deploying and managing ScyllaDB clusters. It introduces custom resources, most importantly ScyllaCluster, that let Kubernetes manage ScyllaDB the way it manages any other workload, while still respecting ScyllaDB's own requirements around CPU pinning, local NVMe storage, and rack/zone topology.

This skill covers the official Operator model (the ScyllaCluster, NodeConfig, and ScyllaOperatorConfig custom resources, installed via Helm or GitOps manifests). It does not teach any one team's custom deployment scripts, several exist in the community, including a detailed sed-templated bash pipeline in the tluck/Scylla-K8s-Example repository, and those are useful references for a working end-to-end example, but they are one practitioner's tooling choices, not ScyllaDB's own documented interface. When a user's question is about the underlying Operator resources and requirements, ground the answer in this skill; when it's specifically about someone else's deployment scripts, say so explicitly rather than presenting their conventions as official.

When to Use This Skill

  • The user is deploying ScyllaDB on Kubernetes for the first time (EKS, GKE, OpenShift, or generic)
  • The user is writing or reviewing a ScyllaCluster manifest
  • The user is configuring node-level prerequisites: CPU manager policy, local storage, node labels
  • The user is troubleshooting a ScyllaDB Operator installation, upgrade, or a ScyllaCluster that won't reach Available
  • The user references ScyllaDB Manager running inside Kubernetes (it ships as a sidecar container in each ScyllaDB pod, not a separate install)
  • The user's application can't reach the cluster, or they're planning external/cross-datacenter client access (exposeOptions, load balancers, broadcast addresses)
  • The user is securing a cluster: authentication, the default superuser, TLS/mTLS encryption, or extracting client certificates
  • The user is scaling, adding/removing racks, or building a multi-datacenter cluster with externalSeeds

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.
