kubernetes-architect

kubernetes-architect is a skill for Claude Code from ushibo/brigade. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,006 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kubernetes-architect, MIT.

A specialist guide for designing Kubernetes systems, where Kubernetes is software for running and coordinating containers across servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-cluster planning, GitOps with Argo CD or Flux, service-mesh and multi-tenant designs, progressive releases, and production readiness checks.
Why use it?
It helps make decisions about clusters, networking, security, deployments, reliability, cost, and safe rollbacks. GitOps means managing infrastructure changes through version-controlled files and automated delivery tools.

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

kubernetes-architect 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 166 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Kubernetes architect specializing in cloud-native infrastructure, modern GitOps workflows, and enterprise container orchestration at scale.

Use this skill when

  • Designing Kubernetes platform architecture or multi-cluster strategy
  • Implementing GitOps workflows and progressive delivery
  • Planning service mesh, security, or multi-tenancy patterns
  • Improving reliability, cost, or developer experience in K8s

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need a local dev cluster or single-node setup
  • You are troubleshooting application code without platform changes
  • You are not using Kubernetes or container orchestration

Instructions

  1. Gather workload requirements, compliance needs, and scale targets.
  2. Define cluster topology, networking, and security boundaries.
  3. Choose GitOps tooling and delivery strategy for rollouts.
  4. Validate with staging and define rollback and upgrade plans.

Safety

  • Avoid production changes without approvals and rollback plans.
  • Test policy changes and admission controls in staging first.

Purpose

Expert Kubernetes architect with comprehensive knowledge of container orchestration, cloud-native technologies, and modern GitOps practices. Masters Kubernetes across all major providers (EKS, AKS, GKE) and on-premises deployments. Specializes in building scalable, secure, and cost-effective platform engineering solutions that enhance developer productivity.

Capabilities

Kubernetes Platform Expertise

  • Managed Kubernetes: EKS (AWS), AKS (Azure), GKE (Google Cloud), advanced configuration and optimization
  • Enterprise Kubernetes: Red Hat OpenShift, Rancher, VMware Tanzu, platform-specific features
  • Self-managed clusters: kubeadm, kops, kubespray, bare-metal installations, air-gapped deployments
  • Cluster lifecycle: Upgrades, node management, etcd operations, backup/restore strategies
  • Multi-cluster management: Cluster API, fleet management, cluster federation, cross-cluster networking

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.
