  • Interactive chat view accessible via :claude or :ai commands
  • API key management via :claude set-key or config file
  • System prompt includes K8s context for relevant answers

Usage

# Ask a question directly
:claude why is my pod crashing?
:ai what's causing high memory usage?

Configuration

  ai:
    enabled: true
    apiKey: "sk-ant-..."
    # or use environment variable
    apiKeyEnv: "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
