deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stbenjam/skillsaw. It costs 14 tokens per session (300 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment procedure for containerized applications running on Kubernetes, a system that manages application containers across servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate Helm charts, build and push container images, deploy to staging or production namespaces, and check rollout and health status.
Why use it?
It lays out checks, image publishing, Helm-based installation, and rollout verification so releases follow a repeatable sequence.

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

deploy 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Deploy

Handles deployment of containerized applications to Kubernetes using Helm charts and environment-specific value overrides.

When to Use This Skill

Use when deploying or updating services in staging or production environments.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Validate

Run helm lint charts/ to verify the chart is syntactically valid. Check that all required values are defined:

  • image.repository and image.tag
  • replicaCount
  • resources.limits

Step 2: Build and Push

Build the container image and push to the registry:

docker build -t $REGISTRY/$APP:$TAG .
docker push $REGISTRY/$APP:$TAG

Step 3: Deploy

Run helm upgrade --install with the target namespace:

helm upgrade --install $APP charts/ \
  -f charts/values.yaml \
  -f charts/values-$ENV.yaml \
  -n $NAMESPACE --wait

Step 4: Verify

Check rollout status and health endpoints:

kubectl rollout status deployment/$APP -n $NAMESPACE
curl -sf https://$APP.$DOMAIN/health

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.
