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 thebushidocollective/han at 19caa51d5f.

    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 basic functionality for using Kustomize, a templating system for Kubernetes configuration. It allows users to generate Kubernetes manifests from templates and overlays, enabling customization of deployments without modifying original files. The skill is designed to simplify common Kustomize operations like applying patches or creating environment-specific configurations.

When to use it

  • Customizing Kubernetes Deployments: Modify existing deployment configurations by adding labels, annotations, or changing image versions.
  • Environment-Specific Configurations: Generate different manifest files for development, staging, and production environments based on a base configuration.
  • Applying Patches: Apply specific changes to Kubernetes resources without directly editing the original YAML files.
  • Creating reusable configurations: Define common settings in a base Kustomize directory and extend them for different use cases.

Key capabilities

  • Manifest generation from templates
  • Overlay creation and application
  • Patching of Kubernetes resources
  • Environment-specific configuration management

Example prompts

  • "Generate a deployment manifest with the image tag 'latest' using my kustomize directory."
  • "Apply an overlay to change the number of replicas in my deployment."
  • "Create a new Kustomize environment for staging based on the production configuration."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Kubernetes concepts and YAML syntax.
  • The skill assumes a basic understanding of Kustomize directory structure and overlay principles.
