Claude skills for Kubernetes: common questions
Which Claude skill should I use for Kubernetes?
There are 197 of them, spread over 76 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: k8s security policies (wshobson/agents, ★ 42k), k8s manifest generator (wshobson/agents, ★ 42k) and kubernetes specialist (Jeffallan/claude-skills, ★ 12k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.
How do I install a Claude skill for Kubernetes?
For Kubernetes, take the k8s-security-policies folder from wshobson/agents (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. In the Claude apps, zip that folder and upload it as a custom skill in settings.
Are these Kubernetes skills official?
No. None of the 197 Kubernetes skills comes from Anthropic's own skills repository, so all of them are community-made across 76 repositories.
Can I use these Kubernetes skills at work?
Of the 50 Kubernetes skills listed here, 46 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and every one states a licence. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
What should I check before installing a Kubernetes skill?
A Kubernetes skill is instructions Claude follows, and it can bundle scripts Claude runs, so read SKILL.md and every script first: for k8s security policies, that is everything in the k8s-security-policies folder. Red flags: piping a download into a shell, sending files to a URL, and instructions to hide what it does from you.
Are these Kubernetes skills maintained?
137 of the 197 Kubernetes skills sit in repositories that changed in the 30 days before 31 Oct 2026.
