Building a Kubernetes CSI Provider in a Single AI Session

How I used Claude Code + a live MicroK8s cluster to build, test, and open-source bitwarden-csi-provider — the first Secrets Store CSI Driver provider for Bitwarden Secrets Manager.

What We Built

A Rust-based Kubernetes Secrets Store CSI Driver provider that mounts secrets from Bitwarden Secrets Manager directly as tmpfs files in pods. Secrets never touch etcd. The project shipped as:

Fortune 500 Chat Hijacker - Context & Instructions

Project Overview

A middleware designed to "ghost" the customer support portals of Fortune 500 companies, effectively using their expensive LLM-backed support bots as a free backend for your own AI agents (Opencode/Claude/Gemini).

Location: /home/kcrawley/Work/fortune500-chat-middleware

Implementation Details

Architecture: Node.js (ESM), Express, Axios.
Proxy Layer: Supports TOR (socks5://localhost:9050) and NordVPN SOCKS5 for IP rotation to bypass WAF bans. Currently set to direct connection in .env for initial testing.

AppConfig .NET Migration - Session Summary

Objective

Migrate database migration workflows to AWS AppConfig while resolving the "edge case" where .NET services require a fully-baked appsettings.json (handling Container-Runtime-Population markers) without leaking secrets into build artifacts.

Solutions Implemented

1. appconfig_toolkit (PR #74)

New render command: Fetches config from AppConfig and resolves secrets.
Recursive Resolution: Handles nested JSON objects and lists in appsettings.json.

	# Claude Code — Multi-Provider Backend Setup

	Route Claude Code (`claude` CLI) to GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, or local LLMs
	via an interactive backend selector. The key insight: Claude Code sends standard Anthropic
	Messages API requests, so any proxy that speaks Anthropic Messages API can be dropped in
	transparently.

	## How it works

	Claude Code always talks Anthropic Messages API. For backends that don't natively speak it,
