kubescape SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

kubescape from nitinjain999/platform-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Check Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize overlays and live clusters against NSA-CISA, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS (EKS, AKS, GKE, vanilla) and SOC2 with the Kubescape CLI. Covers framework choice, score and severity gates, PR gates that fail only on new findings (--baseline), exceptions that actually suppress, controls configuration, auto-fix, Kubescape's CEL admission policy library, and one-off image scans. Interactive when run without arguments. Use when asked to "scan my manifests…

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

Find out how a Kubernetes change or cluster measures up against a security framework, in plain language, and stop new problems at the pull request.

Read `references/kubescape.md` before responding. It holds the verified install, the framework table, gate exit codes, the baseline recipe, how the two exception actions really behave, fix limits, the VAP rollout, and troubleshooting. The working files are in `examples/kubescape`.

The primary cloud for this organisation is `${user_config.primary_cloud}`. If that reads as a literal placeholder or is empty, it is not configured: detect the provider from the cluster, or ask.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/kubescape@sha256:18c567c2d94dbd72

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.0361a9b, 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.
