Review first — review before installing

Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • The script is read-only and does not contact workloads, apply manifests, or change namespaces.
  • Risk labels are based on names; confirm the actual cluster and namespace before deployment commands.
  • Avoid running write-capable automation solely because the statusline says an environment looks like development.

Privacy notes

  • Context and namespace names can expose customer, region, cluster, or service names in screenshots.
  • kubectl reads local kubeconfig, which may reference private clusters and identities.
  • The script does not print server URLs or certificates.

Prerequisites

  • kubectl installed and configured for the environments you want visible.
  • A kubeconfig context selected before Claude Code starts or before the statusline refreshes.
  • Team naming conventions that distinguish production, staging, and development contexts.

About this resource

Source notes

  • Kubernetes kubectl documentation covers kubectl config current-context and config inspection commands.
  • This statusline keeps the output to context, namespace, and a name-based risk label so environment awareness is visible without issuing deployment actions.

Duplicate check

Checked existing statuslines, live HeyClaude statuslines, open pull requests, and repository content for kubectl-deployment-context-statusline, deployment environment, kubectl context, namespace warning, and production context statuslines. Existing Kubernetes content appears in MCP and hook categories, but no statusline entry or open PR covers deployment context.
