refactor:kubernetes

refactor:kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code from SnakeO/claude-debug-and-refactor-skills-plugin. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,963 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A code-refactoring guide for Kubernetes configurations, which describe how containerized applications run and are managed. It focuses on security, reliability, maintainability, resource limits, and deployment practices such as GitOps, Kustomize, and Helm.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or restructuring Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or Kustomize files, especially to add health probes, resource limits, safer containers, and GitOps-oriented organization.
Why use it?
It helps find configuration choices that can make applications less secure, unreliable, or difficult to maintain. It addresses containers running as the root user, missing health checks, hardcoded settings, and duplicated configuration.

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

refactor:kubernetes 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 2mo 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 rootlowPrivilege escalation

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

- No container should run as root unless absolutely required

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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.
