mirrord-kafka is a skill in metalbear-co/mirrord, last changed 2 Nov 2026. It can touch credentials, run shell commands and name web addresses — read the findings before installing.
Helps DevOps engineers configure mirrord Operator's Kafka queue splitting feature end-to-end. Generates the MirrordSplitConfig and MirrordPropertyList Kubernetes CRD YAMLs (the current resources; MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer + MirrordKafkaClientConfig are deprecated but still supported), the matching mirrord.json split_queues section with message_filter and jq_filter, and Helm value guidance. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Kafka splitting with mirrord, MirrordSplitConfig, MirrordPropertyList, MirrordKafkaClientConfig, MirrordKafkaTopicsConsumer, Kafka queue/topic splitting, configuring mirrord with Kafka, Kafka Streams splitting, MSK IAM auth, or troubleshooting Kafka splitting sessions. Also trigger on split_queues with queue_type Kafka, or connecting mirrord to a Kafka cluster. This is a Team/Enterprise feature of mirrord.

From the files and frontmatter at commit fbe27c3. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit fbe27c3 · 3 Nov 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit fbe27c3 on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.
How the check worksReport an incorrect finding
Outside links we did not follow
- https://github.com/confluentinc/librdkafka/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md
Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Warning
The body is about 6,027 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/kafka-client-config-crd.md (151 lines), references/kafka-topics-consumer-crd.md (114 lines), references/known-issues.md (112 lines), references/mirrord-property-list-crd.md (295 lines) and references/mirrord-split-config-crd.md (180 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Warning
Claude CodePasses
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Note
The body is about 6,027 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. After compaction Claude Code keeps only the first 5,000 tokens of a skill. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/kafka-client-config-crd.md (151 lines), references/kafka-topics-consumer-crd.md (114 lines), references/known-issues.md (112 lines), references/mirrord-property-list-crd.md (295 lines) and references/mirrord-split-config-crd.md (180 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Note
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
The description is 845 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
The body is about 6,027 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B2
Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: references/kafka-client-config-crd.md (151 lines), references/kafka-topics-consumer-crd.md (114 lines), references/known-issues.md (112 lines), references/mirrord-property-list-crd.md (295 lines) and references/mirrord-split-config-crd.md (180 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Note
- OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
