What it does

Hcp Create Powervs is an agent skill from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on IBM Cloud PowerVS with proper processor configuration and resource management

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 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 IBM Cloud PowerVS with proper processor configuration and resource management

Example prompts

“/hcp-create-powervs”

Requirements

A credential in IBMCLOUD_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

Interactive Parameter Collection
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):
- cloud.ibm.com
- hypershift.openshift.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- IBMCLOUD_API_KEY
- IBMCLOUD_CREDENTIALS
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hcp Create Powervs loads about 995 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~995

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.

description: Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on IBM Cloud PowerVS with proper processor configuration and resource management

HyperShift PowerVS Provider

This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on IBM Cloud PowerVS, handling PowerVS-specific requirements including IBM Cloud API keys, processor types, and resource group management.

When to Use This Skill

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

Prerequisites

IBM Cloud CLI configured with API key
PowerVS service instance configured
IBM Cloud resource group access
HyperShift operator installed and configured

PowerVS Provider Overview

PowerVS Provider Peculiarities

IBM Cloud specific: Requires IBM Cloud API key and resource group
Different regions have different capabilities: Service availability varies by region
Limited instance types: Fewer processor types compared to other clouds
Network setup complex: Requires careful network planning
Processor type selection: Shared, dedicated, or capped options

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Interactive Parameter Collection

Required Parameters:

IBM Cloud Authentication

🔹 **IBM Cloud API Key**: Configure IBM Cloud authentication
   - Set IBMCLOUD_API_KEY environment variable, OR
   - Provide IBMCLOUD_CREDENTIALS file path

Resource Group

🔹 **Resource Group**: IBM Cloud resource group name?
   - Must exist in your IBM Cloud account
   - Example: default, hypershift-rg

Region Configuration

🔹 **Region**: IBM Cloud region?
   [default: us-south]
🔹 **Zone**: Availability zone?
   [default: us-south]

Processor Configuration

🔹 **Memory**: Memory allocation per instance?
   [default: 32GB]
🔹 **Processors**: Number of processors?
   [default: 0.5]
🔹 **Processor Type**: Processor type?
   - shared (default) - Shared processor pool
   - dedicated - Dedicated processors
   - capped - Capped shared processors

Step 2: Generate Command

Standard Configuration:

bash

hypershift create cluster powervs \
  --name powervs-cluster \
  --namespace powervs-cluster-ns \
  --region us-south \
  --zone us-south \
  --resource-group default \
  --base-domain example.com \
  --pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
  --release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi \
  --memory 32GB \
  --processors 0.5 \
  --proc-type shared \
  --sys-type s922 \
  --vpc-region us-south

High-Performance Configuration:

bash

hypershift create cluster powervs \
  --name powervs-prod \
  --namespace powervs-prod-ns \
  --region us-south \
  --zone us-south \
  --resource-group production-rg \
  --base-domain clusters.company.com \
  --pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
  --release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi \
  --memory 64GB \
  --processors 2.0 \
  --proc-type dedicated \
  --sys-type s922 \
  --vpc-region us-south

Error Handling

API Key Issues

IBM Cloud API key not configured or invalid.

Configure authentication:
  export IBMCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Or verify existing configuration:
  ibmcloud auth list

Resource Group Not Found

Resource group "hypershift-rg" not found.

List available resource groups:
  ibmcloud resource groups

Create new resource group:
  ibmcloud resource group-create hypershift-rg

Region/Zone Issues

Zone "us-south-3" not available for PowerVS.

Available zones in us-south:
  ibmcloud pi service-list

Choose appropriate zone for your region.
