What it does

Pi K8s Deploy is an agent skill from rodrigorodrigues/microservices-design-patterns. Check Docker Hub for a new :latest image on a managed service and roll it out to the home Pi k8s cluster, the same way authentication-service was deployed on 2026-08-29 (SSH + kubectl rollout restart/status, startupProbe fix for slow-starting Spring Boot pods). Use when asked to check for or deploy new service images on the Pi cluster, or to add a service to the watch list.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `services.yaml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration and Backend development. It works with Kubernetes, Spring Boot, Docker and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Microservice Architecture using multiple languages.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to check for
  • Deploy new service images on the Pi cluster
  • Add a service to the watch list

Example prompts

  • “/pi-k8s-deploy”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in DOCKERHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Digest on Docker Hub
  2. Digest actually running in the cluster (filter by container name, not
  3. If they match: nothing to do for this service.
  4. If they differ, deploy
  5. Report per service: old digest -> new digest (short form is fine), and
  6. If rollout status times out or reports a failure: stop, don't retry

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ad1158. 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:

    • ssh
    • curl
    • jq
    • kubectl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • hub.docker.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DOCKERHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Pi K8s Deploy loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 626 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 626 words (~1,574 tokens).

“(already set up - ssh-copy-id was run once; never put the SSH password in this repo, it's public).”
