Installs the WizTelemetry Ruler extension for KubeSphere and manages event, audit and log alerting rules as RuleGroup and ClusterRuleGroup resources.

  • Works in 3 steps: Get Available Clusters and Confirm Target → Get Latest Version (if not provided by… → Get AlertManager Host (if configuring…
  • Installing the WizTelemetry Ruler extension on selected KubeSphere clusters
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, Components and Dependencies, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls curl and kubectl; reaches whizard-telemetry-apiserver.extension-whizard-telemetry.svc

What it does

WizTelemetry Ruler adds event alerting and log alerting to the KubeSphere observability platform. It evaluates Kubernetes events, KubeSphere audit events and Kubernetes logs against alerting rules and forwards matching alerts to receivers such as Alertmanager. The skill helps the agent install and configure the extension and create, update or delete rules as RuleGroup or ClusterRuleGroup resources.

Installation follows an ordered checklist. The agent lists the available clusters with kubectl and confirms which ones to deploy to, asking you when you have not said, then looks up the latest extension version from the cluster before it generates an InstallPlan. The skill also lists dependencies: whizard-telemetry is required, while events, auditing, logging, the data pipeline and OpenSearch are needed only for the matching alerting or persistence features.

When your agent uses it

  • Installing the WizTelemetry Ruler extension on selected KubeSphere clusters
  • Writing alerting rules for Kubernetes events or audit events
  • Creating log-based alerting rules with a RuleGroup
  • Updating or deleting existing alerting rules through the ruler API

Example prompts

  • “Install WizTelemetry Ruler on the host and dev clusters.”
  • “Add a ClusterRuleGroup that alerts when a Pod is evicted.”
  • “Create a log alert rule that fires on repeated ERROR lines in the payments namespace.”
  • “Delete the old audit alert rule group named privileged-exec.”

Requirements

  • A KubeSphere installation with the whizard-telemetry extension
  • kubectl access to the cluster

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get Available Clusters and Confirm Target
  2. Get Latest Version (if not provided by user)
  3. Get AlertManager Host (if configuring sink)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04a29b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • kubectl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • whizard-telemetry-apiserver.extension-whizard-telemetry.svc

    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.

Context cost

WizTelemetry Ruler loads about 6.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,473 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,473 words (~6,497 tokens).

“WizTelemetry Ruler is an extension component in the KubeSphere Observability Platform that provides event alerting and log alerting capabilities. It can define alerting rules for K8s native events, K8s/KubeSphere auditing events, and K8s logs, evaluate incoming event data and log…”
