Binary Kubernetes securityContext hardening check. Use when reviewing Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, CronJobs, Helm templates, or Kubernetes manifests that define containers. Minimal output only: OK or NOT_OK: RULE, RULE.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
Ask once before enforcing:
- Distinctive: line 16
If yes: inspect locally first.
- Distinctive: line 27
No severity. No advisory text.
- Distinctive: line 32
All rules are mandatory for every application container.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Ask once before enforcing:
Enforce k8s-securitycontext skill? (yes / no)
If no: stop.
If yes: inspect locally first. Do not web-search by default. Web-search only if Kubernetes securityContext semantics are missing or ambiguous, and prefer the official Kubernetes docs.
Contract
Return exactly one line:
OKNOT_OK: RULE, RULE
No severity. No advisory text. No maybes. If a rule cannot be verified, it is not OK.
Rules
All rules are mandatory for every application container. Apply to init and ephemeral containers when present too.
SC_NON_ROOT— requirerunAsNonRoot: trueand no explicit root user (runAsUser: 0is not OK).SC_NO_PRIV_ESC— requireallowPrivilegeEscalation: false.SC_DROP_CAPS— requirecapabilities.drop: ["ALL"]; adding capabilities is not OK unless the manifest proves the workload needs them.SC_SEC_PROFILE— requireseccompProfile.type: RuntimeDefaultor a stricter local profile.SC_READ_ONLY_FS— requirereadOnlyRootFilesystem: true.SC_SELINUX_TYPE— when the workload targets an SELinux-enforcing node class, OpenShift, SELinux-labeled volumes, or policy says SELinux is required, requireseLinuxOptions.type. Missing type is not OK.
Output examples
OK
NOT_OK: SC_NON_ROOT, SC_NO_PRIV_ESC, SC_SELINUX_TYPE
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
