Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Kubernetes Patterns Deploy and manage production Kubernetes clusters. ## Core Objects ### Workloads | Object | Use Case | Scaling | |--------|----------|---------| | Deployment | Stateless apps | Replicas, HPA | | StatefulSet | Stateful apps (DBs) | Stable network IDs | | DaemonSet | Per-node agents (logging, monitoring) | Node count | | Job/CronJob | Batch tasks, scheduled jobs | Completion | ### Networking - **Service**: Stable endpoint for pods (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer) - **Ingress**: HTTP routing, TLS termination, path-based routing - **Network Policies**: Pod-level firewall rules ## Production Best Practices ### Resource Management ```yaml resources: requests: cpu: 100m memory: 128Mi limits: cpu: 500m memory: 256Mi ``` - Always set requests AND limits - Use LimitRange for namespace defaults - Use ResourceQuota for namespace caps ### Pod Anti-Affinity Spread pods across nodes for HA. ### Readiness & Liveness Probes - Readiness: traffic starts flowing - Liveness: pod gets restarted - Startup: for slow-starting containers ## RBAC - Least-privilege service accounts per app - Namespace-scoped roles (not cluster-wide) - Regularly audit permissions - Use groups, not indiv

What does the kubernetes-patterns skill do?
Pods, deployments, services, ingress, RBAC, autoscaling, and production cluster best practices
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills --skill kubernetes-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From cosmicstack-labs/mercury-agent-skills, a repository with 364 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
