kubernetes SKILL.md skillA

kubernetes from openhands/extensions is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add openhands/extensions/kubernetes@git:20260701.599cc4d

Pins git:20260701.599cc4d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up and manage local Kubernetes clusters using KIND (Kubernetes IN Docker). Use when testing Kubernetes applications locally or developing cloud-native workloads.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kubernetes Local Development with KIND

## KIND Installation and Setup

KIND (Kubernetes IN Docker) is a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using Docker containers as nodes. It's designed for testing Kubernetes applications locally.

IMPORTANT: Before you proceed with installation, make sure you have docker installed locally.
Windows PowerShell equivalents for installing KIND and kubectl are in `references/windows.md`.

### Installation

To install KIND on a Debian/Ubuntu system:

```bash
# Download KIND binary
curl -Lo ./kind https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/v0.22.0/kind-linux-amd64
# Make it executable
chmod +x ./kind
# Move to a directory in your PATH
sudo mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/
```

To install kubectl:

```bash
# Download kubectl
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
# Make it executable
chmod +x kubectl
# Move to a directory in your PATH
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/
```

### Creating a Cluster

Create a basic KIND cluster:

```bash
kind create cluster
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add openhands/extensions/kubernetes@sha256:e1c28130b212211c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.599cc4d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
