ksail SKILL.md skillA

ksail from devantler-tech/agent-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/ksail@git:20260918.0fe1a1b

Pins git:20260918.0fe1a1b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use the ksail CLI to spin up and manage Kubernetes clusters (Kind/K3d/Talos/vCluster/KWOK — local via Docker; EKS — cloud via AWS) and GitOps workloads declaratively. Triggers on requests involving Kubernetes clusters, Flux/ArgoCD GitOps bootstrapping, Kind/K3d/Talos/vCluster/KWOK/EKS, multi-tenancy onboarding, OIDC authentication, or the ksail CLI/MCP server.

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

# ksail

KSail bundles common Kubernetes tooling (kubectl, helm, kind, k3d, vcluster, flux, argocd, …) into a single Go binary. Local clusters need only Docker; cloud providers also need that provider's credentials, and EKS additionally needs the `eksctl` CLI.

Full docs: <https://ksail.devantler.tech>. Treat the docs site and `ksail <command> --help` as the source of truth; do not paraphrase flag semantics — link users to the relevant page instead.

## Prerequisites

- `ksail` on `PATH` (see <https://ksail.devantler.tech/installation/>)
- Docker daemon running (required for the local `Docker` provider)
- Cloud credentials only when using non-Docker providers (`HCLOUD_TOKEN` for Hetzner, `OMNI_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` for Omni, standard AWS SDK credentials such as `aws configure` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`/`AWS_REGION` for AWS)
- `eksctl` on `PATH` for the `EKS` distribution (see <https://ksail.devantler.tech/distributions/eks/>)

## When to use this skill

Invoke when the user asks to:

- Create, start, stop, update, or delete a local Kubernetes cluster
- Scaffold a KSail project (`ksail.yaml`, native distribution config, `k8s/` kustomization)
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/ksail@sha256:906da3fbdb8790a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.0fe1a1b, 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.
