kubernetes-guide

kubernetes-guide is a skill for Claude Code from xonovex/platform. It costs 90 tokens per session (562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for editing Kubernetes configuration files in GitOps repositories. Kubernetes runs containerized applications, while GitOps manages their desired configuration in Git and applies it to a cluster.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Kustomize overlays, or Flux-managed Kubernetes manifests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid configuration mistakes involving namespaces, labels, resource limits, health checks, secrets, and separate settings for different environments.

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-guide 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 yesterday.

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.

Kubernetes Coding Guidelines

Requirements

  • Kubernetes ≥ 1.28, Kustomize ≥ 5, GitOps (Flux).

Essentials

Gotchas

  • Secrets are base64-encoded, not encrypted: encryption-at-rest requires enabling KMS provider on the cluster
  • resources.requests is what the scheduler considers; .limits is what the kubelet enforces, without requests, pods compete unbounded
  • Label selectors are immutable once a Service/Deployment is created: changing them requires recreate, not patch
  • Namespace scope: kubectl defaults to default namespace; cross-namespace traffic needs <svc>.<ns>.svc.cluster.local or NetworkPolicy
  • Deployment rolling updates require readinessProbe to be honest: a probe that returns 200 too early routes traffic to a not-ready pod

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.
