# KubeKey Agent Guide

This is the single entry point for any AI agent (or new contributor) working on the KubeKey v4 codebase. It covers **what the project is**, **how the code actually flows**, and **the conventions you must follow** when changing it.

Read it top to bottom once; afterwards use §3 (Code Logic Map) and §8 (File-to-Concern Map) as lookup tables.

Further reading:

- [README.md](README.md) – user-facing intro.
- [docs/en/framework/README.md](docs/en/framework/README.md) – writing custom playbooks.

## 1. What is KubeKey?

KubeKey v4 is a Go-based task execution framework modeled on Ansible. Its primary use case is installing and managing Kubernetes clusters, but the core engine is generic: it loads playbook projects (YAML), executes tasks across hosts via connectors (SSH/local/Kubernetes/Prometheus), and provides built-in modules (command, copy, template, image, etc.).

Two binaries are produced:

- `kk` – CLI tool that runs playbooks locally or inside a Kubernetes pod.
- `kk-controller-manager` – Kubernetes operator that watches `Playbook` CRs and spawns executor pods.

A third build target, `capkk`, provides the Cluster API infrastructure provider (built with the `clusterapi` tag).

## 3. Code Logic Map

Exact code paths for the most important flows, so you can jump straight to the right function when debugging or adding a feature.

### 3.1 CLI Startup Flow

`kk` binary entry:

```text
cmd/kk/kubekey.go:main()
    └── app.NewRootCommand().Execute()
```

Root command construction:

```text
cmd/kk/app/root.go:NewRootCommand()
    ├── options.AddProfilingFlags()      # pprof/gops
    ├── options.AddKlogFlags()
    ├── options.AddGOPSFlags()
    ├── newRunCommand()
    ├── newPlaybookCommand()
    ├── newVersionCommand()
    ├── newWebCommand()
    └── internalCommand...               # built-in commands registered by init()
```

Built-in commands registration (gated by `//go:build builtin`):

```text
cmd/kk/app/builtin.go:init()
    └── imports cmd/kk/app/builtin/* packages

cmd/kk/app/builtin/create.go:init()
    └── internalCommand = append(internalCommand, newCreateCommand())

cmd/kk/app/builtin/add.go:init()
cmd/kk/app/builtin/delete.go:init()
cmd/kk/app/builtin/init.go:init()
cmd/kk/app/builtin/precheck.go:init()
cmd/kk/app/builtin/artifact.go:init()
cmd/kk/app/builtin/certs.go:init()
```

Each built-in command constructs a `CommonOptions` and calls `CommonOptions.Run()`.

Built-in command flow (example: create cluster):

```text
cmd/kk/app/builtin/create.go:newCreateCommand()
    └── cmd.RunE = func(...)
        ├── options.NewCommonOptions()
        │   └── sets up Playbook/Inventory/Config references
        ├── options.Complete()
        │   ├── resolve inventory/config files
        │   ├── apply --set overrides
        │   └── determine workdir
        └── options.Run()
            └── manager.NewCommandManager(playbook, inventory, config)
                └── commandManager.Run()
                    └── executor.NewPlaybookExecutor(...).Exec(ctx)
```

Arbitrary playbook flow (`kk run`):

```text
cmd/kk/app/run.go:newRunCommand()
    └── options.KubeKeyRunOptions.Complete()
        ├── project.New() for git/local project
        └── build Playbook CR pointing at that project
    └── options.Run() -> CommandManager -> PlaybookExecutor
```

In-cluster executor (`kk playbook`):

```text
cmd/kk/app/playbook.go:newPlaybookCommand()
    └── PlaybookOptions.Complete()
        ├── read Playbook CR from API server
        └── read Inventory/Config CRs
    └── Run() -> CommandManager -> PlaybookExecutor
```

### 3.2 Manager Layer

All three binaries converge on the `Manager` interface in `pkg/manager/manager.go`.

Command manager:

```text
pkg/manager/command_manager.go:NewCommandManager()
    └── Run(ctx)
        ├── create controller-runtime client for local file storage
        ├── if local run and not dry-run: create/update Playbook CR locally
        └── PlaybookExecutor.Exec(ctx)
```

Controller manager:

```text
cmd/controller-manager/controller_manager.go:main()
    └── app.NewControllerManagerCommand().Execute()
        └── pkg/manager/controller_manager.go:NewControllerManager().Run(ctx)
            ├── create controller-runtime manager
            ├── register enabled controllers via options.Register()
            └── mgr.Start(ctx)
```

Controllers register in `pkg/controllers/core/register.go:init()` and `pkg/controllers/infrastructure/register.go:init()`.

Web manager:

```text
pkg/manager/web_manager.go:NewWebManager().Run(ctx)
    ├── create local REST config via pkg/proxy
    ├── build go-restful container
    ├── pkg/web.NewCoreService()
    ├── pkg/web.NewSchemaService()
    ├── pkg/web.NewUIService()
    └── http.ListenAndServe()
```

### 3.3 Project Loading

Project factory:

```text
pkg/project/project.go:New(ctx, playbook, update)
    ├── if playbook address looks like git: newGitProject()
    │   └── go-git clone/pull into workdir
    ├── else if BuiltinsProjectAnnotation is set: builtinProjectFunc()
    │   └── builtin/core.BuiltinPlaybook embed.FS
    └── else: newLocalProject()
        └── os.DirFS(path)
```

Playbook marshaling:

```text
pkg/project/project.go:MarshalPlaybook()
    ├── ReadFile(playbook.yaml)
    ├── yaml.Unmarshal -> kkprojectv1.Playbook
    ├── resolve import_playbook recursively
    ├── load vars_files
    ├── load roles:
    │   ├── read defaults/main.yaml
    │   ├── read meta/main.yaml dependencies
    │   └── recursively marshal dependency roles
    ├── expand include_tasks
    └── validate playbook/role/block
```

YAML project types live in `api/project/v1/`:

- `playbook.go:Playbook` – top-level list of Plays.
- `play.go:Play` – hosts, gather_facts, vars_files, roles, pre_tasks/tasks/post_tasks.
- `role.go:Role` / `RoleInfo` – dependencies, name, blocks.
- `block.go:Block` – nested block/rescue/always or leaf task.
- `base.go:Base` – name, connection, vars, environment, run_once, ignore_errors, become.
- `taggable.go:Taggable` – tags logic (always/never/all/tagged).
- `conditional.go:When` – conditional evaluation.

### 3.4 Execution Engine

Executor creation:

```text
pkg/executor/playbook_executor.go:NewPlaybookExecutor(client, playbook, variable, logOutput)
    └── returns *playbookExecutor{ option{...}, project }
```

Playbook execution:

```text
pkg/executor/playbook_executor.go:Exec(ctx)
    ├── project.MarshalPlaybook() -> kkprojectv1.Playbook
    ├── set Playbook phase Running
    ├── for each Play:
    │   ├── select hosts from inventory by pattern
    │   ├── group hosts by serial batches
    │   │   └── pkg/converter/converter.go:GroupHostBySerial()
    │   ├── for each batch:
    │   │   ├── gather_facts (if play.gather_facts != false)
    │   │   │   └── setup module on each host
    │   │   ├── run pre_tasks
    │   │   ├── for each role:
    │   │   │   └── roleExecutor.Exec(ctx)
    │   │   ├── run tasks
    │   │   └── run post_tasks
    │   └── update Playbook status
    ├── set Playbook phase Succeeded/Failed
    └── store final result
```

Role execution:

```text
pkg/executor/role_executor.go:Exec(ctx)
    ├── merge role defaults into variable system
    ├── recursively execute dependency roles
    │   └── dependency role inherits parent role's when/tags/ignore_errors
    └── for each block in role:
        └── blockExecutor.Exec(ctx)
            └── blocks inherit role's when conditions
```

`when` defined on a role is merged with parent conditions and passed down to all blocks and tasks within that role.

Block execution:

```text
pkg/executor/block_executor.go:Exec(ctx)
    ├── evaluate tags: skip block if tags don't match
    ├── merge block's when condition with parent when conditions
    ├── if block has nested block/rescue/always:
    │   ├── run block tasks
    │   ├── on failure: run rescue tasks
    │   └── always: run always tasks
    └── else (leaf task):
        └── taskExecutor.Exec(ctx)
            └── all inherited when conditions are evaluated per host
```

`when` conditions are cumulative: a block or task must satisfy its own `when` expressions **and** all inherited `when` expressions from parent blocks and roles.

Task execution:

```text
pkg/executor/task_executor.go:Exec(ctx)
    ├── if loop: expand loop items
    ├── create/update kkcorev1alpha1.Task CR
    ├── for each host in parallel (wait.Group):
    │   ├── evaluate per-host when condition
    │   ├── create progress bar
    │   ├── FindModule(moduleName)
    │   ├── moduleExecFunc(ctx, ExecOptions)
    │   ├── evaluate failed_when
    │   ├── handle ignore_errors
    │   └── store register/result variables
    └── update Task CR status
```

Module discovery:

```text
pkg/executor/block_executor.go:MarshalBlock()
    ├── iterate over UnknownField(s) in kkprojectv1.Block
    └── first unknown key that matches a registered module -> ModuleName
```

### 3.5 Variables

Variable structure:

```text
pkg/variable/variable.go:value
    ├── Config    kkcorev1.Config
    ├── Inventory kkcorev1.Inventory
    ├── Hosts     map[string]host
    │   ├── RemoteVars  map[string]any   # gather_facts
    │   └── RuntimeVars map[string]any   # set_fact, register
    └── Result    map[string]any
```

Lookup precedence:

```text
pkg/variable/variable_get.go:GetFunc
    └── resolves in order:
        1. Config vars
        2. Host-specific inventory vars
        3. Group vars (for groups containing host)
        4. Inventory vars
        5. Runtime vars
        6. Remote vars
```

Merge paths:

```text
pkg/variable/variable_merge.go
    ├── MergeRemoteVariable()       # gather_facts -> Hosts[host].RemoteVars
    ├── MergeRuntimeVariable()      # set_fact/register -> Hosts[host].RuntimeVars
    ├── MergeHostsRuntimeVariable() # cross-host variable injection
    └── MergeResultVariable()       # task result -> Playbook.Status.Result
```

Persistence:

```text
pkg/variable/source/file_source.go
    └── reads/writes per-host vars to
        <workdir>/runtime/<namespace>/<playbook>/variable/<hostname>.yaml
```

### 3.6 Connectors

Factory:

```text
pkg/connector/connector.go:NewConnector(host, vars, logger)
    ├── connector.type == "local"      -> localConnector
    ├── connector.type == "ssh"        -> sshConnector
    ├── connector.type == "kubernetes" -> kubernetesConnector
    ├── connector.type == "prometheus" -> prometheusConnector
    └── default:
        ├── localhost -> localConnector
        └── otherwise -> sshConnector
```

SSH connector (`pkg/connector/ssh_connector.go`): `Init()` parses auth (password/key); `ExecuteCommand()` via `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh`; `PutFile()` / `FetchFile()` via sftp.

Local connector (`pkg/connector/local_connector.go`): `ExecuteCommand()` via `os/exec`; `PutFile()` / `FetchFile()` operate on the local filesystem.

Fact gathering (`pkg/connector/gather_facts.go`): local/ssh connectors implement `HostInfo()`, collecting OS, arch, hostname, IP, memory and CPU facts.

Modules must stay decoupled from the local OS: always go through the `Connector` interface, never hardcode Linux paths or bash-only syntax.

### 3.7 Modules

Registry:

```text
pkg/modules/internal/options.go
    ├── RegisterModule(fn, names...)
    ├── FindModule(name)
    └── ModuleExecFunc signature
```

Module list (registered in `pkg/modules/module.go`):

| Module | Package | Key file |
|--------|---------|----------|
| add_hostvars | `pkg/modules/add_hostvars` | `add_hostvars.go` |
| assert | `pkg/modules/assert` | `assert.go` |
| command/shell | `pkg/modules/command` | `command.go` |
| copy | `pkg/modules/copy` | `copy.go` |
| debug | `pkg/modules/debug` | `debug.go` |
| fetch | `pkg/modules/fetch` | `fetch.go` |
| gen_cert | `pkg/modules/gen_cert` | `gen_cert.go` |
| http_get_file | `pkg/modules/http_get_file` | `http_get_file.go` |
| image | `pkg/modules/image` | `image.go`, `image_deprecated.go`, `repository.go` |
| include_vars | `pkg/modules/include_vars` | `include_vars.go` |
| prometheus | `pkg/modules/prometheus` | `prometheus.go` |
| result | `pkg/modules/result` | `result.go` |
| set_fact | `pkg/modules/set_fact` | `set_fact.go` |
| setup | `pkg/modules/setup` | `setup.go` |
| template | `pkg/modules/template` | `template.go` |

Representative implementations:

```text
pkg/modules/command/command.go:ModuleCommand(ctx, opts)
    ├── render args through template
    ├── build command string
    ├── opts.Connector.ExecuteCommand(cmd)
    └── return stdout/stderr

pkg/modules/copy/copy.go:ModuleCopy(ctx, opts)
    ├── resolve src/content
    ├── optionally template content
    ├── opts.Connector.PutFile(data, dst, mode)
    └── return result

pkg/modules/template/template.go:ModuleTemplate(ctx, opts)
    ├── read src template
    ├── render with variables
    ├── opts.Connector.PutFile(rendered, dst, mode)
    └── return result
```

### 3.8 Templates, `when` and Tags

Rendering:

```text
pkg/converter/tmpl/template.go:ParseFunc()
    ├── if string contains "{{" and "}}":
    │   └── text/template.Execute()
    └── else return original string
```

Custom functions (`pkg/converter/tmpl/functions.go`), on top of Sprig:

```text
toYaml / fromYaml / toToml
ipInCIDR / ipFamily / isIP
pow / subtractList
fileExists / unquote / getStringSlice
toLowerByteUnit
mapToNamedStringArgs
```

**`when` conditions** (`api/project/v1/conditional.go`) are always wrapped as templates and rendered to a boolean-like result. They can be defined at **role**, **block** and **task** level:

- Role-level `when` is inherited by all blocks and tasks in that role.
- Block-level `when` is merged with parent block/role conditions and inherited by nested blocks and leaf tasks.
- Task-level `when` is evaluated per host right before module execution.
- All inherited conditions must evaluate to true for a task to run.

**Tags** (`api/project/v1/taggable.go`):

```text
Tags []string
AlwaysTag = "always"
NeverTag  = "never"
AllTag    = "all"
TaggedTag = "tagged"
IsEnabled(onlyTags, skipTags) bool
```

Tags are inherited the same way as `when`: role → block → nested block/task. Use `JoinTag()` to merge parent tags into child tags. Runtime filtering uses `playbook.Spec.Tags` (only run matching) and `playbook.Spec.SkipTags` (skip matching), typically set via CLI `--tags` and `--skip-tags`.

| Tag | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| `always` | Always runs unless explicitly skipped by `always` in skipTags. |
| `never` | Never runs unless explicitly included. |
| `all` | Matches every block except those tagged `never`. |
| `tagged` | Matches any block that has at least one tag. |

Matching rules for `onlyTags`:

- A block with `always` runs.
- `all` or `tagged` runs everything except `never`.
- Otherwise the block runs if any of its tags intersect with `onlyTags`.
- Blocks without matching tags are skipped.

Matching rules for `skipTags`:

- `all` skips everything except blocks tagged `always` (unless `always` is also in skipTags).
- Any tag intersection with `skipTags` skips the block.
- `tagged` skips all tagged blocks.

Like `when`, declare tags at the highest applicable scope; do not repeat the same tag at every nested level (see §4.4).

### 3.9 Kubernetes Controllers

Playbook controller:

```text
pkg/controllers/core/playbook_controller.go:Reconcile()
    ├── fetch Playbook CR
    ├── if no executor Pod exists:
    │   └── create Pod running "kk playbook --name <name> --namespace <ns>"
    ├── watch owned Pods
    └── sync Playbook status from Pod phase/logs
```

CAPKK controllers live in `pkg/controllers/infrastructure/`: `inventory_controller.go`, `kkcluster_controller.go`, `kkmachine_controller.go`.

Registration:

```text
pkg/controllers/core/register.go:init()
    ├── options.Register(&PlaybookReconciler{})
    └── options.Register(&PlaybookWebhook{})

pkg/controllers/infrastructure/register.go:init()
    └── registers Inventory/KKCluster/KKMachine reconcilers
```

### 3.10 REST Proxy / Web

Hybrid REST config:

```text
pkg/proxy/transport.go:RestConfig()
    ├── if no k8s cluster: use file-based storage for Task/Inventory/Playbook
    └── if cluster exists: forward non-local resources to API server,
        keep Task local
```

This lets `kk` run without a Kubernetes cluster while still using controller-runtime clients.

Web services (`pkg/web/service.go`):

```text
NewCoreService()       # /api/v1/playbooks, /inventories, /logs
NewSchemaService()     # schema listing and config
NewUIService()         # static SPA UI
NewSwaggerUIService()  # swagger UI
NewAPIService()        # OpenAPI JSON
```

### 3.11 Built-in Kubernetes Install Flow

High-level flow of `builtin/core/playbooks/create_cluster.yaml`:

```text
 1. native/root role on all hosts
 2. hook/pre_install.yaml
 3. load defaults + precheck on all hosts
 4. on localhost:
        generate certs, download binaries/images
 5. on etcd/k8s_cluster/image_registry/nfs:
        run native role
 6. on etcd hosts (when external):
        etcd prepare/install
 7. on image_registry hosts:
        docker + registry
 8. on localhost (when registry configured):
        push images
 9. on k8s_cluster hosts:
        CRI install
        kubernetes pre/init/join
        certs renewal
        custom labels/taints
10. on a random control plane host:
        CNI + storage class
11. hook/post_install.yaml
```

Default variables are loaded from `builtin/core/defaults/` and merged before playbook execution.

## 4. Universal Conventions

Follow these conventions when producing or modifying code.

### 4.1 Logging

Choose the appropriate log level.

| Level | Usage |
|-------|-------|
| `klog.Info` | Main business events. |
| `klog.Warning` | Recoverable abnormal situations. |
| `klog.Error` | Errors requiring attention. |
| `klog.V(4)` | Framework execution flow. Examples: `project`, `proxy`, `variable`, `connector`, `web`, `manager`, `controllers`, `executor`. |
| `klog.V(5)` | Extension modules. Examples: `module`, `converter`. |
| `klog.V(6)` | Debug information. May include detailed intermediate values and execution flow. |

### 4.2 Errors

Wrap errors only where they originate.

- Lower layers should use `errors.Wrap` (or equivalent) to add context.
- Upper layers should return the error directly unless adding meaningful business context.
- Do not repeatedly wrap the same error.

KubeKey uses `github.com/cockroachdb/errors` with `errors.Wrapf` / `errors.Join`.

### 4.3 Naming

Keep names concise. Prefer meaningful short names. Avoid unnecessary abbreviations and verbose names.

Avoid:

```go
tmpData
managerObject
projectConfiguration
```

Prefer:

```go
cfg
proj
mgr
conn
```

### 4.4 Architecture

Prefer modifying existing code instead of introducing new abstractions.

- Do not introduce new structs or interfaces unless there is a clear benefit.
- Keep APIs stable.
- Minimize public surface.
- Favor composition over inheritance-like patterns.
- Do not repeat inherited conditions (e.g. `when`, `tags`) at every level; declare them at the highest applicable scope (see §3.8).

### 4.5 Go Conventions

- Package aliases: `kkcorev1`, `kkcorev1alpha1`, `kkprojectv1`.
- `pkg/const` is imported as `_const` to avoid keyword collision.
- Options structs have `Flags()` and `Complete()` methods.
- Modules return `(stdout, stderr, err)` triples.
- Controllers and built-in commands register via `init()` gated by build tags.
- Templates use Go `text/template` + Sprig + custom functions in `pkg/converter/tmpl/`.

## 5. Build & Test

Important Makefile targets:

| Target | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `make kk` | Build `kk` binary with `BUILDTAGS=builtin` |
| `make build-kk-dev` | Dev build with branch-based version |
| `make controller-manager` | Build operator image |
| `make generate` | Deepcopy, CRDs, RBAC, modules, goimports |
| `make generate-manifests-kubekey` | Generate CRDs to `config/kubekey/crds/` |
| `make verify` | Verify generated artifacts and modules are up to date |
| `make test` | Run unit/integration tests with envtest |
| `make lint` | Run golangci-lint |

Build tags:

- `builtin` – includes embedded playbooks/roles and built-in CLI commands.
- `clusterapi` – CAPKK controller-manager image build.

## 6. Debugging Tips

- **Find where a built-in command is defined:** search `cmd/kk/app/builtin/*.go` for the command name.
- **Find where a module is implemented:** search `pkg/modules/<name>/<name>.go` and confirm registration in `pkg/modules/module.go`.
- **Trace variable values:** start at `pkg/variable/variable_get.go` and add logging in `GetFunc`.
- **Trace task execution:** add logging in `pkg/executor/task_executor.go` before `FindModule`.
- **Test a module locally:** look at existing `*_test.go` files; many use the fake connector from `pkg/modules/internal/test.go`.
- **Regenerate CRDs:** `make generate-manifests-kubekey`.
- **Build with built-ins:** `make kk` (sets `BUILDTAGS=builtin`).
