# OpenCLI Agent Pack: k9s

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `k9s`.

## What this CLI is for
Kubernetes navigation, logs, and pod inspection from the terminal. Built by Derailed.

Best for: kubernetes navigation, logs, and pod inspection from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (0/100)


## Install
```sh
brew install derailed/k9s/k9s
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
k9s --version
```
Expected signal: k9s responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
k9s --version
```

```sh
k9s
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Expect prompts; keep a human in the loop for interactive flows.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.
- Require confirmation before apply, delete, deploy, transfer, merge, or write actions.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use k9s (`k9s`) for kubernetes navigation, logs, and pod inspection from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
