# https://kprompt.ai/llms.txt # Guidance for AI assistants and crawlers about kprompt. # Full docs dump: https://kprompt.ai/llms-full.txt > kprompt is The AI Runtime for Kubernetes: an AI-powered runtime that understands your cluster and turns intent into context-aware operations, investigations, and recommendations. Open-source CLI → reviewable PlanResult → approve before apply. Investigation/AI SRE is one capability lane — not the whole product. Optional Observe agent. Apache-2.0. Experimental. Local kubeconfig + BYOK. Never silent auto-heal. ## Product - Site: https://kprompt.ai - Full text for LLMs: https://kprompt.ai/llms-full.txt - FAQ (approval, credentials, limits): https://kprompt.ai/#faq - Docs: https://kprompt.ai/docs - Install: https://kprompt.ai/docs/install - Quickstart: https://kprompt.ai/docs/quickstart - Demo ($0 Observe): https://kprompt.ai/docs/demo - Observe agent (Helm): https://kprompt.ai/docs/agent - Adopt (brownfield 15 min): https://kprompt.ai/docs/adopt - Architecture (diagrams): https://kprompt.ai/docs/architecture - Roadmap & vision: https://kprompt.ai/docs/roadmap - Safety: https://kprompt.ai/docs/safety - CI / PlanResult JSON: https://kprompt.ai/docs/ci - Integrations: https://kprompt.ai/docs/integrations - MCP (editor assistants): https://kprompt.ai/docs/mcp - Multi-cluster: https://kprompt.ai/docs/multi-cluster - GitHub: https://github.com/kprompt/kprompt - X: https://x.com/kpromptai - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kprompt - Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kprompt.bsky.social - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kprompt-ai - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kprompt.ai - Contact: hello@kprompt.ai - Demo scenarios (kind): https://github.com/kprompt/kprompt-examples - Demo walkthrough: git clone …/kprompt-examples && make walkthrough - Latest release: https://github.com/kprompt/kprompt/releases/tag/v0.11.0 ## Positioning (honest) - Category: AI Runtime for Kubernetes — plain language: understands your environment; turns intent into operate / investigate / recommend with plan-before-apply. Triangle hub (Runtime vs Gateway vs Platform): https://kprompt.ai/blog/ai-runtime-vs-ai-gateway-vs-agent-platform - Not a ChatGPT wrapper, kubectl command generator, Kubernetes chatbot, or monitoring-only AIOps product. - Experienced engineers are a target: augment expertise by reducing context you must gather manually. - Investigation (investigate/why/timeline/impact) and Observe are capabilities — not the entire product. - Signals (Prom/OTel/logs) enrich the runtime when present; no bespoke per-database connectors. - Not McKinsey ARK (Agentic Runtime): ARK hosts agent apps as CRDs on K8s; kprompt reasons about cluster ops under plan → approve. See https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-ark - Not agentgateway (AI/MCP/A2A gateway): data plane for LLM/MCP/A2A traffic vs PlanResult ops CLI. See https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-agentgateway · https://kprompt.ai/blog/agentgateway-alternatives - Not kagent (CNCF agent platform): Agents/MCP/A2A on the cluster vs PlanResult ops CLI + Observe. See https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-kagent · alternatives hub https://kprompt.ai/blog/kagent-alternatives - MCP tool provider (`kprompt mcp serve`): editor assistants (Cursor, Claude Desktop) call read/plan-only tools; mutations return a PlanResult and never auto-apply. This is IDE interop, not an MCP/A2A agent platform (that stays kagent's lane). - Same NL-CLI lane as kubectl-ai for day-2 mutate; different contract (plan → safety → approve) plus in-cluster Observe path. - Not a K8sGPT fleet scanner; not a hosted Lens clone. - Optional in-cluster Observe agent (Helm): namespace watch → Incident → gated notify. - Autopilot (ADR-0015) is propose-only by default — never silent apply. - Shipped v0.11.0: `kprompt mcp serve` (read/plan-only IDE interop), Azure OpenAI preset, DaemonSet `--wait`. - Shipped v0.10.0 (AI Runtime closure, ADR-0023): closed Learn loop, policy-gated Autopilot apply, continuous Coordinator (proactive tick + opt-in mesh/OTel blast-radius + durable outcome ring), topology Knowledge Graph edges, Incident→PlanResult bridge, durable cluster memory — default stays propose-only. - Building / next: deeper continuous multi-agent reasoning, interactive Team topology / timeline UI, sandbox/chaos Simulation lab, richer reliability-practice scanners beyond optimize/audit/score MVP, richer Prom/OTel/mesh hops — do not claim as shipped. - Long-term direction: continuous reasoning under the same approval DNA — see roadmap. ## High-signal articles - https://kprompt.ai/blog/ai-runtime-vs-ai-gateway-vs-agent-platform - https://kprompt.ai/blog/top-100-kubernetes-prompts - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-helm-deep-dive - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-prometheus - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-opentelemetry - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-argo-cd - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-mcp-tool-provider - https://kprompt.ai/blog/brownfield-kprompt-in-15-minutes - https://kprompt.ai/blog/agentgateway-alternatives - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-agentgateway - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kagent-alternatives - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-kagent - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-ark - https://kprompt.ai/blog/ai-runtime-for-kubernetes - https://kprompt.ai/blog/context-engineering-not-prompt-engineering - https://kprompt.ai/blog/observe-agent-kind-demo - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-v0-5-observe-agent - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-in-public - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-01-why - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-02-intent-compiler - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-03-planresult - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-04-safety - https://kprompt.ai/blog/building-ai-sre-05-multi-context - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kprompt-vs-kubectl-ai - https://kprompt.ai/blog/intent-compiler-not-chat - https://kprompt.ai/blog/ai-sre-not-ai-kubectl - https://kprompt.ai/blog/what-is-kubernetes-ai - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-ai-tools-comparison - https://kprompt.ai/blog/optimize-my-cluster - https://kprompt.ai/blog/planresult-json-deep-dive - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-ci-cd-plan-gates - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-oomkilled - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-crashloopbackoff - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-imagepullbackoff - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubectl-cheat-sheet-natural-language - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-error-prompt-playbook - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-troubleshooting-guide - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubectl-alternatives - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubectl-vs-k9s - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-safety-plan-approve - https://kprompt.ai/blog/kubernetes-llm-providers-byok ## Optional Team app - https://app.kprompt.ai — early; CLI stays free; nothing to buy as a public signup product today.
