## k10s terminal UI
k10s is a click-and-search Kubernetes terminal UI with built-in AI that already knows your cluster, namespace and selected object.
## Why k10s
k10s opens instantly with zero watches and shows actions for the selected object without memorized keys.
## AI prompt context
ctrl+a asks in plain english about your cluster with context injected into the prompt.
## Self-updating
k10s updates itself with checksum-verified atomic releases that offer restarts.
## k9s to k10s
k10s is a narrower, mouse-and-keyboard focused alternative to k9s with built-in ai.
## Try it in 30 seconds
k10s ships an offline demo backend with fake data that's clearly labelled as sample.
## Install options
k10s installs via curl, go install, or git clone with version-stamped binaries.
## Resource groups
k10s groups resources into workloads, network, config, storage, rbac, cluster and custom resources.
## Logs and shell
k10s shows live logs, shell sessions, and port-forwarding with one key.
## AI integration
k10s uses claude-sonnet-5 as default ai with cluster context injected into prompts.
## Eight themes
k10s offers eight built-in themes plus custom themes with live previews.
## k9s comparison
k10s is mouse-and-keyboard focused while k9s is keyboard-first with command-driven discovery.
## Keybindings
k10s uses ctrl+p for search, ctrl+a for ai prompts, and z for zoom.
## Config and themes
k10s saves themes, namespace, and folded sidebar groups to ~/.k10s/config.yaml.
## No cluster needed
k10s runs with a built-in sample cluster for demo purposes without requiring a real cluster.
## Coming from k9s
k10s was built to be a simpler alternative to k9s with built-in ai.
## Key takeaway

k10s is a click-and-search Kubernetes terminal UI with built-in AI that works with your cluster without memorizing commands.
