# Install skaffold

Easy and Repeatable Kubernetes Development. Version 2.22.1 via Homebrew; verified 2026-06-05.

## Install

```sh
sudo av install brew:skaffold
```

## Agent safety answer

skaffold builds and deploys Kubernetes applications from local source.

- **Credential access:** Reads kubeconfig, registry credentials, project config, and environment variables.
- **Remote mutation:** Can build, push, and deploy workloads to clusters.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Publishes images and deploys application artifacts.
- **Recommended control:** Gate deploy, run, delete, and registry push operations.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow render and diagnose; require approval for build-push-deploy flows.
