Jenkins Agents On Kubernetes
default is where any actions which require a namespace will go into if one is not explicitly defined in a default setup (tools such as kubens can alter this behavior). In the context of Jenkins, namespaces are a useful way to allow isolation of individual Jenkins instances that want to utilize the same Kubernetes cluster. Creation of a namespace is a simple option to kubectl:

[ANN] Kele: Snappy Kubernetes cluster management in Emacs
For a peek at what's currently possible, visit the documentation site, in particular the Usage section. For this initial release, it has feature parity with kubectx and kubens and that's about it, but there's lots of room for growth.

What daily terminal based tools are you using for cluster management?
To anyone visiting here, I got a lot of feedback for new tools (which I haven't tried yet), both on Youtube and here, so I compiled it into a list: A comment on Lens: Initially I wanted to include Lens in the video but decided it's a bit different in that it's not a CLI / TUI. Many users shared bad experience with Lens, mainly around performance and a large amount of requests it shoots at the cluster API to a point where some companies banned it. These are the tools (I may add a video review on if anyone thinks it's worth it): * https://github.com/kubermatic/fubectl - for an improved kubectl experience * https://github.com/particledecay/kconf - for those with complex kubeconfig changes requirements * https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens - an open version of Lens (note the above before using) * https://github.com/hidetatz/kubecolor - colored kubectl output :) * https://github.com/astefanutti/kubebox - the K9s little brother? * https://github.com/bergerx/kubectl-status - human friendly resource status output

Managing Kubernetes config files
See my other comment re: kconf. It's as simple as kconf add /my/file.conf. You could also pipe in from stdin (like if you're reading from Vault): vault kv get -field=kubeconfig /path/to/conf | kconf add.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kubectx and kconf you can also consider the following projects:
fzf-tab - Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!
kubie - A more powerful alternative to kubectx and kubens
kubeswitch - The kubectx for operators.
kubecm - Manage your kubeconfig more easily.
jqp - A TUI playground to experiment with jq
kubectl-neat - Clean up Kubernetes yaml and json output to make it readable
kubecolor - colorizes kubectl output
kubectl-trace - Schedule bpftrace programs on your kubernetes cluster using the kubectl
konfig - konfig helps to merge, split or import kubeconfig files
