SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the local development workflow for Kubani agents, enabling rapid iteration and testing against live cluster services without complex deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Nexus Local Runner: Test prompts, activities, and missions against live cluster services directly from your local machine.
  • Kubani CLI: Develop and test general Kubani agents using a unified command-line interface.
  • Hot-Reloading: Instantly see the impact of your code changes without restarting.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to quickly test a new prompt for the Nexus agent that summarizes cluster health. They can use the Nexus Local Runner to send the prompt and see the LLM's response in seconds, iterating until satisfied.

Quick Start

Use the kubani local-run command to start an agent locally with hot-reload enabled.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test agent prompts locally against a live Kubernetes cluster?

Test agent prompts locally by using the Nexus Local Runner to send prompts to live cluster services via MCP, providing rapid feedback for iterative prompt engineering without complex deployments.

Can I iterate on agent activity logic without redeploying to the cluster?

Yes, you can iterate on agent activity logic locally using the Kubani CLI with hot-reloading, allowing you to instantly see the impact of code changes without restarting or redeploying.

What is the best way to get rapid feedback loops during agent development?

The best way to achieve rapid feedback loops during agent development is using the `kubani local-run` command to start agents locally with hot-reload enabled for immediate iteration.

Does local agent development work with Temporal and live cluster services?

Yes, local agent development integrates directly with live cluster services including Temporal, allowing you to test mission execution and activity logic locally against active infrastructure.

Do I need to install dependencies to use the Kubani CLI for local testing?

The Kubani CLI provides a unified command-line interface for local testing and requires no external dependencies, utilizing dedicated runner scripts to execute general and Nexus agent workflows.
