What it does

Kubernetes Ops is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Deploy, scale, and manage Kubernetes workloads.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/details.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and…

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/kubernetes-ops”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and templates not bundled.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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
    • git

    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):

    • github.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and templates not bundled.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Kubernetes Ops loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Deploying applications to Kubernetes
  • Managing pods, deployments, and services
  • Configuring resource limits and scaling
  • Troubleshooting Kubernetes workloads
  • Setting up networking and ingress

Limitations

  • Guidance executes against real environments: confirm target, blast radius, and rollback plan before applying anything.
  • Never deploy to production without explicit approval. Docs-only import: upstream scripts and templates not bundled.
Example
bash
git status && git diff --stat
kubectl diff -f manifest.yaml

Adapted from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (MIT); frontmatter, When to Use/Limitations, and safety boundaries added for upstream compliance. Docs-only import: helper scripts and templates not bundled.
