Verbatim clone+copy install works cleanly; SKILL.md frontmatter parses as strict YAML and all bundled assets are valid (4 shell scripts pass bash -n, all 17 InspectRule rules/*.yaml parse). The real advertised workflow (InstallPlan deploy, run InspectPlan, retrieve HTML/XLSX reports) requires a live KubeSphere cluster with the kubeeye extension plus kubectl — this hard dependency is honestly disclosed in a 'compatibility' frontmatter field, not hidden — so it was tested here on the checkable slice: authoring an InspectRule/OPA policy to audit a provided Deployment manifest. A/B: the skill's reference example and bundled deployment rules gave it the two details the base arm got wrong — the CRD field is 'rule:' (base wrote a non-existent 'rego:' that the CRD would prune, flagging nothing) and each OPA policy needs 'import rego.v1' (base omitted it, breaking parse on KubeEye's OPA evaluator), making the skill output functional where the base output would silently do nothing.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What KubeEye does
Use when deploying KubeEye for cluster inspection, creating InspectRule/InspectPlan resources, or retrieving inspection results. Covers InstallPlan-based deployment, OPA/PromQL/FileChange/Sysctl/Systemd/NodeInfo/FileFilter/ServiceConnect/CustomCommand rule types, and report retrieval. Always consult this skill when the user mentions KubeEye, cluster inspection, InspectRule, InspectPlan, or…
How to install KubeEye
git clone https://github.com/kubesphere/kubesphere
cd kubesphere
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/kubeeye ~/.claude/skills/kubeeye
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger KubeEye
-
/kubeeyeDeploys KubeEye and manages InspectRule/InspectPlan resources for cluster inspection.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-

Create an InspectPlan to check node health -
Retrieve the latest KubeEye inspection report
Frequently asked questions
- Is the KubeEye skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from kubesphere/kubesphere. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does KubeEye work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 11, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.

- What is the KubeEye SkillProof Score?
- 8.0/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 4/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install KubeEye?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use KubeEye with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
