Guides developers through creating, testing, and debugging Kurtosis Starlark packages. It documents package layout, examples for main.star and kurtosis.yml, running local and remote packages, the plan-vs-execution model, debugging with plan.print(), and common patterns like waiting for readiness, executing commands inside services, template rendering, and importing shared modules.
Use this skill when you're authoring or troubleshooting .star packages for Kurtosis — building service plans, resolving future references, performing dry-runs, or testing service interactions and lifecycle commands. Also handy for learning correct patterns (plan.verify vs direct value checks) and testing created enclaves.
Likely compatible with general-purpose code-capable agents that can run shell/python commands and inspect files (Copilot/Codex/Code-capable LLMs).
Well-structured documentation skill for developing and debugging Kurtosis Starlark packages. Covers package structure, execution model, debugging patterns, and testing workflow with clear code examples. No scripts bundled — purely a reference/instructional SKILL.md. Niche audience limited to Kurtosis users, but fills that niche well.
Clean skill with no security concerns. No scripts to test. SKILL.md is well-written with good code examples and a helpful common errors table. The planning vs execution phase explanation is particularly valuable. Architecture is decent but purely instructional — no scripts/ or references/ directories. Usefulness is limited by the narrow Kurtosis ecosystem.
