k8s-storage

k8s-storage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yindia/rootcause. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,980 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kubernetes diagnostic guide for persistent storage, which keeps data available across pod restarts. It covers claims, volumes, storage classes, snapshots, and mount problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate pending PVCs, failed mounts, multi-attach errors, CSI problems, snapshot restores, read-only filesystems, and full disks.
Why use it?
It helps find why stateful workloads cannot start, recover, scale, or delete because of storage issues.

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

k8s-storage 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 5d 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.

Skill: k8s-storage

Comprehensive Kubernetes persistent storage diagnostics covering PVC lifecycle, StorageClass behavior, snapshot workflows, mount failures, and attach/detach errors.

Scope

Use this skill for stateful workload issues where data volume behavior blocks scheduling, startup, recovery, scaling, or deletion.

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when the user mentions:

  • pvc pending
  • pv not bound
  • volume mount failed
  • multi attach error
  • volumeattachment issue
  • storage class misconfiguration
  • csi error
  • ebs or efs issue
  • snapshot restore failed
  • pod stuck containercreating
  • filesystem readonly
  • disk full in statefulset

RootCause Tools Allowed

Only use these tool names in this skill:

  • k8s.storage_debug
  • k8s.describe
  • k8s.list
  • k8s.events
  • k8s.events_timeline

PVC Lifecycle Reference

Typical lifecycle states

PVC Phase Meaning Typical Next Step
Pending Not yet bound to a volume Inspect StorageClass and provisioning events
Bound Successfully attached to PV Validate pod mount and filesystem
Lost Underlying PV unavailable/reclaimed unexpectedly Trace reclaim events and backend health

PV lifecycle states commonly observed

PV Phase Meaning Operator Concern
Available Unclaimed static volume Match claim requirements
Bound Claimed by PVC Confirm claimRef is expected
Released PVC removed, reclaim pending Reclaim policy and cleanup process
Failed Provisioning/reclaim failed Storage backend or driver issue

StorageClass Configuration Checklist

When diagnosing provisioning behavior, verify:

  • provisioner value maps to installed CSI driver.
  • volumeBindingMode is expected (Immediate or WaitForFirstConsumer).
  • reclaimPolicy aligns with retention policy (Delete or Retain).
  • allowVolumeExpansion matches growth requirements.
  • parameters match cloud-specific constraints.

Use k8s.describe on StorageClass for all checks.

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.

k8s-storage is a skill published in the GitHub repository yindia/rootcause (42 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,980 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
