What it does

Openbkn Deploy is an agent skill from openbkn-ai/bkn-foundry. Deploy or upgrade OpenBKN on a customer-authorized Linux server through the repository's deploy scripts, with preflight checks, explicit confirmation, secret handling, and post-deployment verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/operations.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment, Linux administration and Container orchestration. It works with Linux and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: BKN Foundry is the Ontology back-end foundation of OpenBKN. It transforms ontology-driven business semantics into runtime services: data, logic, actions, security governance, and…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f9fbf9. 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:
- bash
- kubectl
- helm
- git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl, helm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openbkn Deploy loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 955 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.6k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:37
```
sudo bash ./preflight.sh --check-only

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 955 words (~1,891 tokens).

“Use this skill when a customer asks to install, upgrade, verify, or diagnose an OpenBKN deployment using this repository's deploy/ directory.”
