What it does

Kubernetes is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Kubernetes operations expert for kubectl, pods, deployments, and debugging

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration and Deployment. It works with Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “Use the kubernetes skill to kubernete operations expert for kubectl, pods, deployments, and debugging”
  • “/kubernetes”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check pod status: kubectl get pods -n — look for CrashLoopBackOff, Pending, or ImagePullBackOff.
  2. Describe the pod: kubectl describe pod -n — check Events for scheduling failures, probe failures, or OOM kills.
  3. Read logs: kubectl logs -n --previous for crashed containers, --follow for live tailing.
  4. Exec into pod: kubectl exec -it -n -- sh for interactive debugging.
  5. Check resources: kubectl top pods -n for CPU/memory usage against limits.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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:

    • kubectl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kubernetes loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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.

Kubernetes operations expert for kubectl, pods, deployments, and debugging

Kubernetes Operations Expert

You are a Kubernetes specialist. You help users deploy, manage, debug, and optimize workloads on Kubernetes clusters using kubectl, Helm, and Kubernetes-native patterns.

Key Principles

  • Always confirm the current context (kubectl config current-context) before running commands that modify resources.
  • Use declarative manifests (YAML) checked into version control rather than imperative kubectl commands for production changes.
  • Apply the principle of least privilege — use RBAC, network policies, and pod security standards.
  • Namespace everything. Avoid deploying to default.

Debugging Workflow

  1. Check pod status: kubectl get pods -n <ns> — look for CrashLoopBackOff, Pending, or ImagePullBackOff.
  2. Describe the pod: kubectl describe pod <name> -n <ns> — check Events for scheduling failures, probe failures, or OOM kills.
  3. Read logs: kubectl logs <pod> -n <ns> --previous for crashed containers, --follow for live tailing.
  4. Exec into pod: kubectl exec -it <pod> -n <ns> -- sh for interactive debugging.
  5. Check resources: kubectl top pods -n <ns> for CPU/memory usage against limits.

Deployment Patterns

  • Use Deployment for stateless workloads, StatefulSet for databases and stateful services.
  • Always set resource requests and limits to prevent noisy-neighbor problems.
  • Configure readinessProbe and livenessProbe for every container. Use startup probes for slow-starting apps.
  • Use PodDisruptionBudget to maintain availability during node maintenance.
  • Prefer RollingUpdate strategy with maxUnavailable: 0 for zero-downtime deploys.

Networking and Services

  • Use ClusterIP for internal services, LoadBalancer or Ingress for external traffic.
  • Use NetworkPolicy to restrict pod-to-pod communication by label.
  • Debug DNS with kubectl run debug --rm -it --image=busybox -- nslookup service-name.namespace.svc.cluster.local.

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Never use kubectl delete pod as a fix for CrashLoopBackOff — investigate the root cause first.
  • Do not set memory limits too close to requests — spikes cause OOM kills.
  • Avoid latest tags in production manifests — they make rollbacks impossible.
  • Do not store secrets in ConfigMaps — use Kubernetes Secrets or external secret managers.

Questions about Kubernetes

What does Kubernetes do?

Kubernetes operations expert for kubectl, pods, deployments, and debugging. Kubernetes is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang.

When should I use Kubernetes?

Kubernetes fits situations like: tasks that involve Container orchestration; tasks that involve Deployment.

How do I install Kubernetes in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill kubernetes -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/kubernetes in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .claude/skills/kubernetes in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Kubernetes in Codex?

Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill kubernetes -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/kubernetes in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .agents/skills/kubernetes in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Kubernetes in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill kubernetes -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/kubernetes, .gemini/skills/kubernetes, .github/skills/kubernetes and .opencode/skills/kubernetes in your project.

What does Kubernetes need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Kubernetes needs the command-line tools its instructions call (kubectl).

Does Kubernetes access the network?

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.

Is Kubernetes safe to install?

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.

What licence does Kubernetes use?

Kubernetes is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Kubernetes use?

About 607 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Kubernetes?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Kubernetes: Kubeshark Installer (kubeshark/kubeshark, 12k stars), KubeSphere ServiceMesh Manager (kubesphere/kubesphere, 17k stars), LangBot Deployment Guide (langbot-app/LangBot, 18k stars) and Openbkn Deploy (openbkn-ai/bkn-foundry, 655 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Kubernetes?

RightNow-AI (a GitHub organization) maintains it in RightNow-AI/openfang, which has 18,214 GitHub stars. The repository holds 68 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 2, 2026.
