Do I need an existing Kubernetes cluster?

Yes, a running Kubernetes cluster and a configured kubectl are required prerequisites. The skill will check for a cluster before proceeding.

Can I monitor my agents after installation?

Yes, the skill provides optional steps to install Phoenix or Langfuse telemetry for full visibility into agent operations and messages.

Ark is a platform that allows you to run Claude Code as an isolated and containerized agent, facilitating secure and scalable AI-to-AI orchestration.

Does this skill work with local Kubernetes clusters?

Absolutely. It works with any cluster accessible via your local kubectl context, including Minikube, Kind, or cloud-provider managed clusters.
