nic-add-featureGives step-by-step checklists for adding Ingress annotations, VirtualServer fields and Helm values to the NGINX Kubernetes Ingress Controller, with common gotchas.
For a new annotation, which applies only to Ingress objects, the checklist runs from the constant and a `ConfigParams` field through parsing, the master and minion denylists, config generation, the NGINX directive in both the open source and Plus templates, validation, tests and a snapshot case refreshed with `make test-update-snaps`. Gotchas include remembering both template files unless a directive is Plus-only, using `containsDangerousChars()` for user strings and the fact that unknown annotations are ignored silently.
For a VirtualServer or VirtualServerRoute field, it covers adding the field with kubebuilder markers in the API types, running `make update-codegen` and `make update-crds`, adding validation, extending the version 2 template struct, wiring the config generator and rendering it in the VirtualServer templates. The description also covers new NGINX directives, CRD fields and Helm chart values.
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 03e1429. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

NGINX Ingress Controller Feature Checklists loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 552 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.
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.

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, NGINX Ingress Controller Feature Checklists needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make). Our summary lists: A checkout of the nginx/kubernetes-ingress repository; `make` for the codegen and snapshot targets.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
