What this skill does

# CAST AI Debug Bundle

## Overview

Collect all CAST AI component logs, cluster state, and configuration into a single archive for troubleshooting or support tickets. The bundle captures agent status, Helm releases, autoscaler policies, node inventory, and recent events.

## Prerequisites

- `kubectl` access to the cluster running CAST AI
- `CASTAI_API_KEY` and `CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID` configured
- `helm` installed

## Instructions

### Step 1: Run the Debug Bundle Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# castai-debug-bundle.sh
set -euo pipefail

BUNDLE_DIR="castai-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

echo "=== CAST AI Debug Bundle ===" | tee "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u)" | tee -a "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Cluster ID: ${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID:-unknown}" | tee -a "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# 1. Helm releases
echo "--- Helm Releases ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
helm list -n castai-agent -o yaml > "$BUNDLE_DIR/helm-releases.yaml" 2>&1

# 2. Pod status
echo "--- Pod Status ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
kubectl get pods -n castai-agent -o wide > "$BUNDLE_DIR/pod-status.txt" 2>&1

# 3. Agent logs (last 200 lines each)
for deploy in castai-agent cluster-controller castai-evictor castai-spot-handler castai-workload-autoscaler; do
  kubectl logs -n castai-agent "deployment/$deploy" --tail=200 \
    > "$BUNDLE_DIR/${deploy}-logs.txt" 2>&1 || echo "Not found: $deploy" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
done

# 4. Cluster events (CAST AI related)
kubectl get events -n castai-agent --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' \
  > "$BUNDLE_DIR/events.txt" 2>&1

# 5. Node inventory
kubectl get nodes -o wide > "$BUNDLE_DIR/nodes.txt" 2>&1

# 6. API cluster status (redact API key from output)
if [ -n "${CASTAI_API_KEY:-}" ] && [ -n "${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID:-}" ]; then
  curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
    "https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/external-clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}" \
    | jq '{name, status, agentStatus, providerType, createdAt}' \
    > "$BUNDLE_DIR/cluster-status.json" 2>&1

  curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
    "https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}/policies" \
    > "$BUNDLE_DIR/policies.json" 2>&1
fi

# 7. RBAC check
kubectl get clusterrole -l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=castai \
  > "$BUNDLE_DIR/rbac.txt" 2>&1

# 8. Package bundle
tar -czf "$BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE_DIR"
rm -rf "$BUNDLE_DIR"
echo "Bundle created: $BUNDLE_DIR.tar.gz"
```

### Step 2: Review Before Sharing

**Safe to include:**

- Pod logs (no secrets in CAST AI agent logs)
- Helm release metadata
- Node names and instance types
- Autoscaler policies
- Cluster events

**Redact before sharing:**

- API keys (the script never writes them)
- Custom environment variables
- Internal hostnames if sensitive

### Step 3: Submit to CAST AI Support

1. Generate bundle: `bash castai-debug-bundle.sh`
2. Attach `castai-debug-*.tar.gz` to support ticket at support.cast.ai
3. Include your cluster ID and a description of the issue

## Error Handling

| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `kubectl` permission denied | Missing RBAC | Use cluster-admin kubeconfig |
| Empty log files | Pod not running | Note which components are down |
| API call fails | Key expired | Bundle still useful with kubectl data |
| tar fails | Disk full | Clean temp files first |

skill-development

Included

Comprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.

reprompter

Included

Transform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.

adaptive-compaction

Included

Adaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.

AI Agentsscripts

agent-skill-creator

Included

Create cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.

AI Agentsscripts

llm-wiki

Included

Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.

skill-master

Included

Agent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification.
