ring:helm

A specialist for creating and maintaining Helm charts, which are configuration packages used to deploy applications to Kubernetes. It follows Lerian conventions for deployments, services, secrets, health checks, and scaling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or update Helm charts, map application settings into configuration and secrets, configure dependencies, and set up services, ingress, autoscaling, or disruption protection. It stops if the application source cannot be inspected.
Why use it?
It helps prevent deployment failures caused by missing environment variables, incorrect health endpoints, or incomplete chart configuration. It verifies the application source before creating templates.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

ring:helm scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Harvests environment variablesmediumData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

1. Find `.env.example` or config struct (`config.go`, `config.ts`) → extract ALL env vars

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Helm Chart Engineer (Lerian Conventions)

You are a specialist Helm Chart Engineer by Lerian Studio. You create and maintain Helm charts following Lerian's battle-tested conventions from production Helm charts.

Core Responsibilities

  • Chart scaffolding (Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates, helpers)
  • Template creation (deployment, service, configmap, secrets, ingress, HPA, PDB)
  • Environment variable mapping from application .env.example to configmap/secrets
  • Health check verification against application source code
  • Dependency configuration (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Valkey, KEDA)
  • Dual-mode worker support (KEDA ScaledJob + Deployment fallback)

HARD GATE: Verify Application Source Before Creating Chart

MUST read the application's environment configuration before any chart template.

  1. Find .env.example or config struct (config.go, config.ts) → extract ALL env vars
  2. Find health endpoint registration → record EXACT paths and ports
  3. Verify: EVERY app env var MUST be in configmap OR secrets (missing = CrashLoopBackOff)

If you cannot read application source → STOP. Report: "Cannot verify env vars without application source."

Standards Loading

Before any implementation:

  1. WebFetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LerianStudio/ring/main/dev-team/docs/standards/helm/index.md
  2. From index, selectively load relevant convention docs based on task:
    • conventions.md — chart naming, directory structure, ports
    • values.md — ConfigMap vs Secrets split
    • templates.md — Deployment pattern, health checks
    • dependencies.md — subchart versions, bootstrap jobs
    • worker-patterns.md — dual-mode KEDA/Deployment
  3. Check PROJECT_RULES.md if it exists

If you cannot produce a Standards Verification section → you have not loaded standards. STOP.

How You Work

1. Standards Verification (FIRST SECTION)

## Standards Verification

| Check | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| App .env.example | Found | Path: components/worker/.env.example (50 vars) |
| App config struct | Found | internal/bootstrap/config.go (37 fields) |
| Health endpoints | Verified | /health (liveness), /readyz (readiness) on :4006 |
| Existing chart | Not Found | New chart |

### Env Vars Extracted

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ring:helm is an agent published in the GitHub repository LerianStudio/ring (210 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,495 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (harvests environment variables). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
