How do I install the Kubernetes Security skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add aibot88/kubernetes-security in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Kubernetes Security skill do?

Kubernetes security: RBAC, PodSecurity, network policies. It is listed under DevOps & Infra on SkillMD.

Is Kubernetes Security safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: makes network calls, reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Kubernetes Security?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Kubernetes Security free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Kubernetes Security Skill

Harden Kubernetes clusters and workloads through RBAC, pod security, network isolation, secret management, and supply chain controls.

Reference Loading Table

Signal	Reference	Size
RBAC, Role, RoleBinding, ClusterRole, ServiceAccount, least-privilege, access control, permissions	`references/rbac-patterns.md`	~60 lines
PodSecurity, SecurityContext, runAsNonRoot, readOnlyRootFilesystem, restricted, baseline, image hardening, distroless, Dockerfile	`references/pod-security.md`	~90 lines
NetworkPolicy, default-deny, allow-list, egress, ingress, DNS, lateral movement, namespace isolation	`references/network-policies.md`	~70 lines
cosign, Kyverno, OPA, admission controller, Sealed Secrets, External Secrets, supply chain, misconfiguration, privileged	`references/supply-chain.md`	~120 lines

Load greedily. If the user's question touches any signal keyword, load the matching reference before responding. Multiple signals matching = load all matching references.

Phase 1: IDENTIFY

Determine which security domain the user is asking about.

Domain	Reference
Access control, permissions, roles	`references/rbac-patterns.md`
Pod hardening, container security	`references/pod-security.md`
Network isolation, traffic rules	`references/network-policies.md`
Image signing, secrets, admission control	`references/supply-chain.md`

If the question spans multiple domains, load all relevant references. Most production hardening tasks touch at least RBAC + pod security.

Gate: Domain identified. Reference(s) loaded. Proceed to Phase 2.

Phase 2: RESPOND

Use loaded reference knowledge to answer with concrete YAML manifests and specific configurations. The references contain complete, copy-paste-ready examples for each security domain.

For general Kubernetes debugging, pair with the kubernetes-debugging skill.

Gate: Question answered with reference-backed manifests, not generic advice.

Phase 3: VERIFY

Validate the security posture against the misconfiguration table in references/supply-chain.md. Flag any of the 8 common misconfigurations if present in the user's manifests.
