# Send kubectl to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "kubectl", "name": "kubectl", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "开发工具", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ddevaal/kubectl", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/ddevaal/kubectl", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/kubectl", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=kubectl", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "README.md", "SKILL.md", "scripts/kubectl-cluster-info.sh", "scripts/kubectl-deploy-update.sh", "scripts/kubectl-pod-debug.sh", "scripts/kubectl-node-drain.sh" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "kubectl", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-05-12T05:40:54.392Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-19T05:40:54.392Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=kubectl", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=kubectl", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"kubectl-1.0.0.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "kubectl" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/kubectl" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/kubectl", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### kubectl Skill Execute Kubernetes cluster management operations using the kubectl command-line tool. ### Overview This skill enables agents to: Query Resources — List and get details about pods, deployments, services, nodes, etc. Deploy & Update — Create, apply, patch, and update Kubernetes resources Debug & Troubleshoot — View logs, execute commands in containers, inspect events Manage Configuration — Update kubeconfig, switch contexts, manage namespaces Monitor Health — Check resource usage, rollout status, events, and pod conditions Perform Operations — Scale deployments, drain nodes, manage taints and labels ### Prerequisites kubectl binary installed and accessible on PATH (v1.20+) kubeconfig file configured with cluster credentials (default: ~/.kube/config) Active connection to a Kubernetes cluster ### Install kubectl macOS: brew install kubernetes-cli Linux: apt-get install -y kubectl # Ubuntu/Debian yum install -y kubectl # RHEL/CentOS Verify: kubectl version --client kubectl cluster-info # Test connection ### Query Resources kubectl get pods # List all pods in current namespace kubectl get pods -A # All namespaces kubectl get pods -o wide # More columns kubectl get nodes # List nodes kubectl describe pod POD_NAME # Detailed info with events ### View Logs kubectl logs POD_NAME # Get logs kubectl logs -f POD_NAME # Follow logs (tail -f) kubectl logs POD_NAME -c CONTAINER # Specific container kubectl logs POD_NAME --previous # Previous container logs ### Execute Commands kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- /bin/bash # Interactive shell kubectl exec POD_NAME -- COMMAND # Run single command ### Deploy Applications kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml # Apply config kubectl create -f deployment.yaml # Create resource kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml --dry-run=client # Test ### Update Applications kubectl set image deployment/APP IMAGE=IMAGE:TAG # Update image kubectl scale deployment/APP --replicas=3 # Scale pods kubectl rollout status deployment/APP # Check status kubectl rollout undo deployment/APP # Rollback ### Manage Configuration kubectl config view # Show kubeconfig kubectl config get-contexts # List contexts kubectl config use-context CONTEXT # Switch context ### Debugging a Pod # 1. Identify the issue kubectl describe pod POD_NAME # 2. Check logs kubectl logs POD_NAME kubectl logs POD_NAME --previous # 3. Execute debug commands kubectl exec -it POD_NAME -- /bin/bash # 4. Check events kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' ### Deploying a New Version # 1. Update image kubectl set image deployment/MY_APP my-app=my-app:v2 # 2. Monitor rollout kubectl rollout status deployment/MY_APP -w # 3. Verify kubectl get pods -l app=my-app # 4. Rollback if needed kubectl rollout undo deployment/MY_APP ### Preparing Node for Maintenance # 1. Drain node (evicts all pods) kubectl drain NODE_NAME --ignore-daemonsets # 2. Do maintenance # ... # 3. Bring back online kubectl uncordon NODE_NAME ### Output Formats The --output (-o) flag supports multiple formats: table — Default tabular format wide — Extended table with additional columns json — JSON format (useful with jq) yaml — YAML format jsonpath — JSONPath expressions custom-columns — Define custom output columns name — Only resource names Examples: kubectl get pods -o json | jq '.items[0].metadata.name' kubectl get pods -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}' kubectl get pods -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,STATUS:.status.phase ### Global Flags (Available to All Commands) -n, --namespace= # Operate in specific namespace -A, --all-namespaces # Operate across all namespaces --context= # Use specific kubeconfig context -o, --output= # Output format (json, yaml, table, etc.) --dry-run= # Dry-run mode (none, client, server) -l, --selector= # Filter by labels --field-selector= # Filter by fields -v, --v= # Verbosity level (0-9) ### Dry-Run Modes --dry-run=client — Fast client-side validation (test commands safely) --dry-run=server — Server-side validation (more accurate) --dry-run=none — Execute for real (default) Always test with --dry-run=client first: kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml --dry-run=client ### Advanced Topics For detailed reference material, command-by-command documentation, troubleshooting guides, and advanced workflows, see: references/REFERENCE.md — Complete kubectl command reference scripts/ — Helper scripts for common tasks ### Helpful Tips Use label selectors for bulk operations: kubectl delete pods -l app=myapp kubectl get pods -l env=prod,tier=backend Watch resources in real-time: kubectl get pods -w # Watch for changes Use -A flag for all namespaces: kubectl get pods -A # See pods everywhere Save outputs for later comparison: kubectl get deployment my-app -o yaml > deployment-backup.yaml Check before you delete: kubectl delete pod POD_NAME --dry-run=client ### Getting Help kubectl help # General help kubectl COMMAND --help # Command help kubectl explain pods # Resource documentation kubectl explain pods.spec # Field documentation ### Environment Variables KUBECONFIG — Path to kubeconfig file (can include multiple paths separated by :) KUBECTL_CONTEXT — Override default context ### Resources Official kubectl Docs kubectl Cheat Sheet Kubernetes API Reference Agent Skills Specification Version: 1.0.0 License: MIT Compatible with: kubectl v1.20+, Kubernetes v1.20+ ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: ddevaal - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-12T05:40:54.392Z - Expires at: 2026-05-19T05:40:54.392Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/kubectl/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/kubectl)
