k8s — Claude Code Plugin

A Claude Code plugin for building Kubernetes CRD operators with webhooks and a fast Tilt-based dev loop.

This plugin guides you through the entire operator lifecycle: requirements gathering, scaffolding with Kubebuilder, implementing controllers and webhooks, setting up a fast dev loop with Tilt, and validating your deployment — all within Claude Code.

Installation

Safety Hooks

• Context guard (PreToolUse): Blocks kubectl/helm/kustomize commands when the current context is not a kind-* cluster.
• Post-edit guidance (PostToolUse): Suggests next steps after editing K8s-related files (types, controllers, webhooks, config).

Quick Start

# 1. Check prerequisites
/k8s:prereqs

# 2. Create a kind cluster
/k8s:create-cluster

# 3. Start the guided operator creation
/k8s:create-operator

# 4. (After scaffolding) Start the dev loop
/k8s:dev

# 5. Verify everything is working
/k8s:verify

# 6. Run the quality checklist
/k8s:checklist

Prerequisites

The following tools are required (installed automatically via /k8s:prereqs):

• Go — Language for the operator
• Kubebuilder — Scaffolding and code generation
• kind — Local Kubernetes clusters
• kubectl — Kubernetes CLI
• Kustomize — Manifest management
• Tilt — Fast dev loop with live updates

Safety

This plugin enforces dev-only safety by default:

• Kind-only contexts: The context guard hook blocks kubectl/helm/kustomize commands unless the current context is kind-*. This prevents accidental operations on production clusters.
• Explicit overrides: The guard can be bypassed only if you explicitly switch to a non-kind context and acknowledge the risk.
• Non-destructive defaults: The guided workflow avoids destructive operations and uses safe failure policies in dev.
