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).

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.
