What it does

Kubernetes Deploying is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. Deploy applications to Kubernetes — Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets, health checks, and scaling.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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, Deployment and Cloud networking. It works with Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Container orchestration
  • Tasks that involve Deployment
  • Tasks that involve Cloud networking

Example prompts

  • “/kubernetes-deploying”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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 Deploying loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Common Commands

bash
# Apply manifests
kubectl apply -f k8s/

# Check deployment status
kubectl rollout status deployment/my-app

# View pods
kubectl get pods -l app=my-app

# View logs
kubectl logs -f deployment/my-app

# Execute into a pod
kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- /bin/sh

# Scale
kubectl scale deployment/my-app --replicas=5

# Rollback
kubectl rollout undo deployment/my-app

# Port forward for local debugging
kubectl port-forward svc/my-app 3000:80

Deployment Strategies

StrategyHowWhen
Rolling update (default)Replace pods one at a timeMost deployments
RecreateKill all old pods, start new onesWhen you can't run two versions simultaneously
Blue/greenRun two full environments, switch trafficNeed instant rollback
CanaryRoute small % of traffic to new versionHigh-risk changes

Rolling update config:

yaml
spec:
  strategy:
    type: RollingUpdate
    rollingUpdate:
      maxSurge: 1
      maxUnavailable: 0

Health Checks

Always set both:

  • livenessProbe: "Is the process healthy?" — restarts the pod if it fails
  • readinessProbe: "Can it handle traffic?" — removes from service if it fails

Common probe types:

  • httpGet: Hit an HTTP endpoint (most common)
  • exec: Run a command in the container
  • tcpSocket: Check if a port is open

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler

yaml
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: my-app
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: my-app
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 10
  metrics:
    - type: Resource
      resource:
        name: cpu
        target:
          type: Utilization
          averageUtilization: 70

Tips

  • Always set resource requests and limits
  • Use namespaces to isolate environments (dev, staging, prod)
  • Never put secrets in plaintext YAML committed to git — use Sealed Secrets, SOPS, or external secret managers
  • Tag images with specific versions, never use :latest in production
  • Set PodDisruptionBudget for high-availability workloads

What does Kubernetes Deploying need to run?

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

Does Kubernetes Deploying 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.
