Install OpsKit in one command

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• python3
• kubectl, already pointed at the cluster context you want to read
• Claude Code, since OpsKit installs as agents, skills, and commands for it

Run the installer

$ npx github:runopskit/opskit init

It asks which kubeconfig context to read, then installs 33 skills, 42 agents, and 46 slash commands, builds the read-only Kubernetes MCP connector, and installs the opskit-guard safety hooks — all scoped to the current project.

What a clean install looks like

Checking prerequisites
  ✓ Node.js v20.11.1
  ✓ python3
  ✓ kubectl

Connecting
  ✓ context: production-eks
  ✓ API server reachable

Installing
  ✓ 33 skills, 42 agents, 46 commands
  ✓ safety layer installed (opskit-guard, MIT — auditable)

Building the cluster connector
  ✓ 13 read-only tools ready
  ✓ connector and hooks wired into .claude/settings.json
  ✓ CLAUDE.md created (fill this in — biggest single quality win)

Fill in CLAUDE.md before your first investigation

The installer scaffolds a CLAUDE.md with sections for clusters, key services, runbooks, escalation paths, and your observability stack. OpsKit reads it before every investigation — accurate context here is the single biggest improvement to how good the output is, more than any prompt.

Verify it worked

$ opskit doctor

Then set your cluster context and try it against a real pod: export OPSKIT_CONTEXT=your-cluster-context-name, open Claude Code in the project directory, and run /k8s-triage <pod name> is failing.
