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 failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: dl.k8s.io, kind.sigs.k8s.io, storage.googleapis.com.

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned pjt222/development-guides at bcca822c1c.

    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 automates the process of setting up a local Kubernetes cluster using Docker Desktop. It handles downloading and configuring necessary components, simplifying development and testing workflows that require container orchestration. The resulting environment allows for running and managing Kubernetes applications locally without requiring cloud resources.

When to use it

  • Local Development: Quickly spin up a Kubernetes environment for developing and testing microservices or containerized applications.
  • Testing Deployments: Simulate production deployments locally before pushing changes to staging or production environments.
  • Learning Kubernetes: Provide a hands-on learning environment for understanding Kubernetes concepts and commands without the complexity of cloud infrastructure.
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Integrate into continuous integration and delivery pipelines to ensure consistent testing across different environments.

Key capabilities

  • Automated Kubernetes installation via Docker Desktop.
  • Configuration of essential Kubernetes components.
  • Simplified environment setup for local development.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a local Kubernetes cluster."
  • "Initialize a Kubernetes development environment using Docker Desktop."
  • "Create a local Kubernetes instance for testing my application."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Docker Desktop to be installed and running.
  • Ensure sufficient system resources (CPU, memory) are available as Kubernetes can be resource-intensive.
