We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Local Docker: No portal needed

    line 39
  2. Very specific:

    Direct Kubernetes: Use kurtosis gateway instead

    line 40
  3. Very specific:

    Remote Kurtosis server: Use portal + remote context

    line 41

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Portal

Manage the Kurtosis Portal daemon for remote context access.

What is Portal?

Kurtosis Portal is a lightweight local daemon that enables communication with Kurtosis enclaves running on a remote Kurtosis server. It's only needed when using remote contexts — not required for local Docker or direct Kubernetes access.

Start

kurtosis portal start

Check status

kurtosis portal status

Stop

kurtosis portal stop

When you need it

Portal is used with remote Kurtosis contexts. If you're using:

  • Local Docker: No portal needed
  • Direct Kubernetes: Use kurtosis gateway instead
  • Remote Kurtosis server: Use portal + remote context

Remote contexts

# List contexts
kurtosis context ls

# Add a remote context
kurtosis context add <context-name>

# Switch to remote context
kurtosis context set <context-name>

# Start portal for the remote context
kurtosis portal start

Troubleshooting

SymptomCauseFix
Portal won't startPort conflict or stale processRun kurtosis portal stop then kurtosis portal start
Status shows not runningPortal crashed or was killedRestart with kurtosis portal start
Services unreachable via portalPortal not started for current contextRun kurtosis portal status to check, then kurtosis portal start
Connection refused errorsWrong context or portal not neededVerify context with kurtosis context ls — local Docker doesn't need portal

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

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

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
