K8s Manifest Generator
Generates production Kubernetes manifests with resource limits, health checks, and security contexts.
Installation
- Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.
Skills load from
~/.claude/skills/when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then runclaudein any terminal to verify.One-time setupnpm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeAlready have it? Skip ahead.
- Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
This copies the whole skill folder into
~/.claude/skills/k8s-manifest-generator-wshobson/— the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)
Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.
Quick install (SKILL.md only)Sign up to copy - Restart Claude Code.
Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from
~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup. - Just ask Claude.
Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it
Teaches Claude to write production-ready Kubernetes YAML for Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims following cloud-native conventions. It bakes in defaults like resource requests/limits, liveness and readiness probes, non-root security contexts, pinned image tags, and standard labels. Reach for it when authoring or reviewing K8s manifests, separating config from code, or preparing workloads for multi-environment deployment.
What this skill does
What it does: Provides patterns, templates, and a best-practices checklist for generating secure, production-grade Kubernetes manifests by hand.
- Covers the core resource types: Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, and PersistentVolumeClaims for stateful workloads
- Enforces a 10-point best-practices checklist — resource requests/limits, health checks, specific image tags, non-root security contexts, standard labels, and annotation-based documentation
- Points to
references/details.mdfor detailed pattern documentation and worked manifest examples - Includes a troubleshooting guide with
kubectlcommands for pods that won't start, unreachable Services, and ConfigMap/Secret loading failures - Suggests follow-up steps and related skills (Helm, Kustomize, GitOps with ArgoCD/Flux) for templating and automated delivery
