How do I install the Kubestellar Console skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add inskillflow/kubestellar-console 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.

Is Kubestellar Console safe to use?

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

Which AI agents work with Kubestellar Console?

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 Kubestellar Console free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free. This skill is licensed under Apache-2.

KubeStellar Console

Overview

KubeStellar Console is an open-source multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard (CNCF project) with AI-powered operations. It ships with kc-agent, an MCP server that bridges coding agents to kubeconfig and Kubernetes APIs, plus 10+ built-in agent skills for development, testing, and operations.

When to Use This Skill

Use when managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across edge and cloud
Use when you need AI-assisted Kubernetes troubleshooting and debugging
Use when running performance tests, cache compliance checks, or CI debugging on a Kubernetes dashboard
Use when integrating with CNCF projects (Argo, Kyverno, Istio, and 20+ others)

How It Works

Step 1: Install kc-agent

brew tap kubestellar/tap && brew install kc-agent

Step 2: Start the MCP server

kc-agent

This bridges your kubeconfig to any MCP-compatible coding agent.

Step 3: Use built-in agent skills

The project ships with agent skills accessible via CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md:

@perf-test — Dashboard performance testing and TTFI analysis
@cache-test — Card cache compliance testing (IndexedDB warm return)
@nav-test — Navigation performance testing
@ui-compliance-test — Card loading compliance (8 criteria, 150+ cards)
@ci-status — CI pipeline monitoring and status checks
@rca — Root cause analysis for CI/test failures
@tdd — Test-driven development workflow
@k8s-debug — Kubernetes debugging and troubleshooting

Key Features

Multi-cluster management across edge and cloud
Real-time streaming observability
20+ CNCF project integrations (Argo, Kyverno, Istio, etc.)
GitHub OAuth authentication
Supply chain security (SBOM, SLSA)
SQLite WASM caching with stale-while-revalidate pattern
15+ themes with dark/light mode

Security & Safety Notes

Critical risk: kc-agent bridges your kubeconfig to MCP-compatible agents. If your kubeconfig carries cluster-admin or write permissions, agents will inherit those capabilities. Always use a least-privilege RBAC context.

Recommended: Bind kc-agent to least-privilege read-only RBAC before using it with an agent:

kubectl create clusterrole kc-agent-readonly --verb=get,list,watch --resource='*'
kubectl create clusterrolebinding kc-agent-readonly --clusterrole=kc-agent-readonly --serviceaccount=default:kc-agent

Do not expose kc-agent on a public network without authentication.
Review SECURITY-AI.md for prompt injection and agent drift mitigations.

Limitations

This skill requires an external binary (kc-agent) installed separately via Homebrew.
Do not treat agent output as a substitute for environment-specific validation or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required permissions or safety boundaries are unclear.
