A skill your agent uses when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on OpenStack infrastructure with proper flavor selection and network configuration

  • Works in 2 steps: Interactive Parameter Collection → Generate Command
  • You need to deploy HyperShift clusters on OpenStack infrastructure with proper flavor selection and network configuration
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Prerequisites, OpenStack Provider Overview and Implementation Steps, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Hcp Create Openstack is an agent skill from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on OpenStack infrastructure with proper flavor selection and network configuration

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Developer productivity tools for Claude Code & other AI assistants. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to deploy HyperShift clusters on OpenStack infrastructure with proper flavor selection and network configuration

Example prompts

  • “/hcp-create-openstack”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Interactive Parameter Collection
  2. Generate Command

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a627176. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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.openstack.org
    • hypershift.openshift.io

    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

Hcp Create Openstack loads about 760 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~760

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.

Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on OpenStack infrastructure with proper flavor selection and network configuration

HyperShift OpenStack Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on OpenStack, handling OpenStack-specific requirements including credentials, networking, and flavor selection.

When to Use This Skill

This skill is automatically invoked by the /hcp:generate openstack command to guide the OpenStack provider cluster creation process.

Prerequisites

  • OpenStack CLI configured with appropriate credentials
  • OpenStack project with sufficient quotas
  • External network configured for floating IPs
  • HyperShift operator installed and configured

OpenStack Provider Overview

OpenStack Provider Peculiarities
  • Requires OpenStack credentials: Must have valid clouds.yaml or environment variables
  • Floating IP networks needed: External network access for cluster API
  • Flavor selection critical: Instance flavors affect performance and cost
  • Custom images may be required: RHCOS images for worker nodes
  • Network topology affects routing: Proper network configuration essential

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Interactive Parameter Collection

Required Parameters:

  1. OpenStack Credentials

    🔹 **OpenStack Credentials**: Path to OpenStack credentials file?
       - Usually clouds.yaml format
       - Example: /home/user/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
  2. External Network

    🔹 **External Network ID**: OpenStack external network UUID?
       - Required for floating IP allocation
       - Find with: openstack network list --external
  3. Flavor Selection

    🔹 **Node Flavor**: Choose instance flavor:
       - m1.large (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) - Standard workloads
       - m1.xlarge (8 vCPU, 16GB RAM) - Performance workloads
       - [default: m1.large]
Step 2: Generate Command

Standard Configuration:

bash
hypershift create cluster openstack \
  --name openstack-cluster \
  --namespace openstack-cluster-ns \
  --openstack-credentials-file /path/to/clouds.yaml \
  --openstack-external-network-id <external-network-uuid> \
  --openstack-node-flavor m1.large \
  --base-domain example.com \
  --pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
  --release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi

Error Handling

External Network Not Found
External network with ID "<uuid>" not found.

List available external networks:
  openstack network list --external

Ensure network has proper routing configuration.
Flavor Not Available
Flavor "m1.large" not available in this OpenStack deployment.

List available flavors:
  openstack flavor list

Choose appropriate flavor for your workload requirements.
