What it does
Castai Core Workflow B is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Enable CAST AI optimization through a measured canary with explicit node and workload policy boundaries. Use when observation-first onboarding is complete and Node Autoscaling, Workload Autoscaling, or managed HPA behavior can be activated. Trigger with: "enable CAST AI automation", "canary CAST AI autoscaling", "apply CAST AI optimization policies".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires a connected cluster, representative baseline, and approved ownership of node and workload scaling controls
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Observation-first onboarding is complete and Node Autoscaling
- Workload Autoscaling
- Managed HPA behavior can be activated
- With: enable CAST AI automation
Example prompts
- “enable CAST AI automation”
- “canary CAST AI autoscaling”
- “apply CAST AI optimization policies”
- “/castai-core-workflow-b”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a connected cluster, representative baseline, and approved ownership of node and workload scaling controls
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash(kubectl:*), Bash(terraform:*), Bash(castctl:*)
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepWriteEditBash(kubectl:*)Bash(terraform:*)Bash(castctl:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.cast.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires a connected cluster, representative baseline, and approved ownership of node and workload scaling controls
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Castai Core Workflow B loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 457 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

CAST AI Controlled Optimization Rollout
Overview
Turn recommendations into automation one bounded control at a time. Separate node capacity, vertical workload rightsizing, and horizontal replica control so each has an observable success condition and rollback.
Prerequisites
- A healthy connected cluster and representative cost/workload baseline
- Current scaling policies, node templates, PDBs, HPAs, quotas, and protected namespaces
- A low-risk canary workload with an accountable owner
Instructions
Step 1: Define the control matrix
Use Read and Grep to map Node Autoscaling, Workload Autoscaler vertical mode, horizontal autoscaling, existing HPAs, and external provisioners. Record one owner for each control. Do not transfer HPA ownership implicitly.
Step 2: Set guardrails
Use Write or Edit to define approved node templates, availability zones, instance lifecycle constraints, maximum CPU, workload minimums/maximums, policy assignment, PDB expectations, and rollback thresholds. Do not add the deprecated cluster minimum CPU setting.
Step 3: Preview the change
Use Bash(terraform:) to produce a saved reviewed plan when Terraform owns the configuration. Use Bash(castctl:) only for supported inspection or documented feature operations. Confirm the diff affects the intended cluster and canary only.
Step 4: Enable a workload canary
Choose Immediate mode only when controlled pod replacement is acceptable; the Eviction API will enforce PDBs. Choose Deferred mode when recommendations should apply on natural recreation. If horizontal autoscaling is enabled, review the native autoscaling/v2 HPA configuration and any take-ownership decision.
Step 5: Observe capacity and workload outcomes
Use Bash(kubectl:*) to inspect pending pods, scheduling events, HPA state, pod replacements, PDBs, requests, and node changes. Compare availability, latency, saturation, and spend to the pre-change baseline; do not optimize on cost alone.
Show full SKILL.md (193 more words)Show less
Step 6: Expand or roll back
Expand one policy assignment group at a time only after the canary window passes. Roll back automation or policy assignment when error budget, capacity, disruption, or performance thresholds fail, while preserving evidence.
Tool Discipline
Use Read and Grep for ownership and policy evidence. Use Write and Edit for the control matrix and rollback record. Use Bash(terraform:), Bash(castctl:), and Bash(kubectl:*) only inside the approved plan, rollout, and observation boundaries.
Output
- Node/workload/HPA ownership matrix
- Guardrails and canary selection
- Before-and-after availability, capacity, and cost evidence
- Expansion decision or tested rollback receipt
Examples
A stateless deployment starts in Deferred vertical mode with no HPA ownership transfer. A later reviewed change enables policy-managed horizontal scaling after the workload owner approves replica bounds and stabilization behavior.
Error Handling
| Failure | Response |
|---|---|
| PDB blocks Immediate mode | Preserve availability and select Deferred mode or revise with owner approval |
| Pending pods cannot match templates | Roll back and correct template constraints |
| Existing HPA is unexpectedly replaced | Disable managed horizontal scaling and restore declared ownership |
| Cost falls while latency regresses | Roll back; performance guardrails take precedence |
