managing-kafka-resources

managing-kafka-resources is a skill for Claude Code from streamthoughts/jikkou. It costs 79 tokens per session (992 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for managing Apache Kafka and related services with Jikkou, a command-line tool that compares declared YAML resources with live systems. Kafka is software for sending and processing streams of messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Managing Kafka topics, permissions, quotas, users, consumer groups, schemas, connectors, and resources from Aiven, Confluent Cloud, AWS Glue, and Apache Iceberg.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable process for inspecting resources, checking proposed changes, and applying them safely across Kafka ecosystems.

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

managing-kafka-resources 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Jikkou: Resource as Code for Apache Kafka

Declarative management of Kafka-ecosystem resources: YAML in, reconciliation against the real cluster out. Stateless: diff compares against live cluster state, never a state file.

Setup check (always run first)

  1. jikkou --version confirms the CLI is on PATH. Missing? See "If jikkou is not installed".
  2. jikkou health get kafka verifies connectivity (health get-indicators only lists indicators; it doesn't check connectivity). For other providers use jikkou health get <indicator>; indicator names differ from provider names, see references/diagnostics.md for the exact list.
  3. No context configured? Run jikkou config current-context and jikkou config view; config lives in ~/.jikkou/config. See the context safety rule below.

Core workflow

Discover → author → validate → diff → apply. Never skip validate/diff.

  • Inspect current state: jikkou get <provider> <kind> -o JSON (providers: kafka, schemaregistry, kafkaconnect, aiven, confluent-cloud, aws, iceberg). Filter: --name <name> or -s 'metadata.name IN (a,b)'.
  • Discover kinds/schemas: jikkou api-resources list, then jikkou api-resources schema --api-version=<v> --kind=<k>. list → schema → write YAML → validate → diff is the canonical authoring chain.
  • Validate: jikkou validate --files <file> returns normalized resources or errors.
  • Preview: jikkou diff --files <file> shows the exact changes vs. the live cluster.
  • Apply: jikkou apply --files <file> --dry-run first; drop --dry-run only after the user confirms the diff.

Safety rules

  • Never run apply without first showing the user diff or --dry-run output.
  • Deleting a resource requires the annotation jikkou.io/delete: true on it — never delete another way.
  • Treat contexts named prod/production with extra confirmation before any non-dry-run apply.
  • Never run jikkou config use-context casually: jikkou eagerly loads the current context on every call, so a broken context bricks every command, not just the one you meant to try. Check current-context/config view first; if a switch is truly needed, verify the target, then switch back.

Changes

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.
