Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned kentoshimizu/sw-agent-skills at 5b7bafb626.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides foundational knowledge of Kubernetes, enabling an AI agent to understand core concepts like pods, deployments, and services. It allows the agent to explain these components and their roles in orchestrating containerized applications. The skill also facilitates basic troubleshooting related to common Kubernetes issues.

When to use it

  • Explaining infrastructure: Use this when you need the agent to clarify how your application is deployed and managed using Kubernetes.
  • Troubleshooting deployments: If a deployment isn't working, ask the agent for explanations of potential problems based on Kubernetes principles.
  • Understanding architecture diagrams: The agent can help interpret diagrams illustrating Kubernetes cluster setups and component interactions.
  • Learning Kubernetes concepts: If you are new to Kubernetes, use this skill to get introductory explanations.

Key capabilities

  • Explains pods, deployments, and services.
  • Describes the role of Kubernetes in container orchestration.
  • Provides basic troubleshooting guidance for common issues.

Example prompts

  • "Explain what a Kubernetes pod is."
  • "What's the difference between a deployment and a service?"
  • "My application isn’t deploying correctly; can you suggest some possible causes based on Kubernetes best practices?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill provides introductory knowledge. A deeper understanding of Kubernetes requires further learning and practical experience beyond what this skill covers.
