Commands and procedures to remove stopped or all Kurtosis enclaves and engine containers; includes tips for handling hanging clean operations on Docker and Kube
Provides clear, actionable commands to clean Kurtosis-managed enclaves and engine artifacts. It explains the default kurtosis clean behavior (removing stopped enclaves), the -a flag for removing all enclaves (including running ones), and selective commands to stop and remove individual enclaves, plus troubleshooting steps when clean hangs.
Use this skill when you need to free up local or cluster resources, reclaim disk/network artifacts left by stopped or failed enclaves, or recover from a hung cleanup operation. It's useful during development, CI runs, or when preparing an environment for a fresh test run.
-a), selective enclave removal, and manual Docker/Kubernetes remediation (pkill, docker rm, network removal, engine restart).Best for operations-oriented agents with access to container runtimes and cluster tooling (agents that can run shell commands and manage Docker/Kubernetes).
Kurtosis Clean is a reference-style skill for cleaning up Kurtosis enclaves and engine containers. It covers basic clean, full clean with -a flag, selective enclave removal, and troubleshooting hanging operations on Docker and Kubernetes. No bundled scripts — all instructions are CLI commands to run manually. Well-documented for a niche DevOps audience.
Static analysis only — no scripts to execute. Commands like 'pkill -f' and 'xargs docker rm -f' are destructive but appropriate for the documented cleanup context. No security concerns beyond the inherent risk of force-cleanup operations.
Starlark Dev
Create, debug, and test Kurtosis Starlark packages — write package structure, run dry-runs, and inspect plan execution for reliable orchestration.
Kurtosis Cluster Manage
Switch and manage Kurtosis clusters (Docker vs Kubernetes), list available clusters, and configure the Kurtosis engine and gateway for the chosen backend.
Kurtosis Portal
Start, stop, and check the Kurtosis Portal daemon to enable communication with remote Kurtosis servers and remote contexts.
Kurtosis: Lint
Lint and auto-format Kurtosis Starlark (.star) files; check syntax and validate docstrings to keep Starlark packages consistent and CI-friendly.
Kurtosis: Dump
Export Kurtosis enclave state (service logs, configs, artifacts, metadata) to a local directory for debugging, reporting, or archival comparison.
Kurtosis Gateway
Starts and manages a local gateway that forwards ports from a Kubernetes cluster to your local machine so the Kurtosis CLI can reach the engine and services.
