helm

helm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,158 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task guide for Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes applications. It routes chart-writing requests to chart instructions and deployment, inspection, or troubleshooting requests to operations instructions, with GitOps guidance for production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating charts, editing templates or values, installing or upgrading during development, inspecting releases, troubleshooting failures, working with OCI registries, or configuring Flux and Argo CD.
Why use it?
It helps you find the relevant Helm workflow and avoid treating manual command-line changes as the normal way to operate production systems.

Getting it into your agent

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 A, and why

helm scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Helm — Skill Router

Latest: v4.2.3 (v3.21.3 support until Nov 2026)

⚠️ Production Warning

Do not use helm install / helm upgrade manually or from CI for production. Manual Helm bypasses drift detection, audit trail, Git-as-truth, and rollback-via-revert.

Use GitOps instead
Flux: HelmRelease (helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2)
ArgoCD: Application with Helm source

Helm CLI is for development, chart writing, debugging, and emergency recovery — not day-2 operations.

Which Sub-Skill?

Match the user's request against the trigger keywords below, then call skill(name="<matched-skill>") to load the sub-skill's full content.

Routing Table

Trigger keywords User wants to... Skill to load
chart, template, HelmRelease values, _helpers.tpl, values.yaml, schema, write, create, modify, library chart, chart testing, helm unittest Write or modify a Helm chart helm-chart
install, upgrade, rollback, inspect, release, status, get values, get manifest, history, failed, troubleshoot, debug, OCI, push, pull, hook, GitOps, Flux, ArgoCD, HelmRelease, drift Deploy, inspect, or troubleshoot releases helm-ops

Decision Tree

If routing is ambiguous:

  1. User is writing code (templates, YAML, values, helpers) → helm-chart
  2. User is running commands (install, inspect, debug, push) → helm-ops
  3. User is asking about both? → Load helm-chart first (chart must exist before deploying), then helm-ops

When NOT to load this router

  • User question is about a specific product's Helm chart (e.g. Higress, Vault, MariaDB) → load that product's *-helm skill instead (e.g. higress-helm, vault-helm)
  • User needs Terraform for Helm releases → load harbor-terraform or similar
  • User is working with ArgoCD or Flux generally (not Helm-specific) → load their respective skills
  • User just needs a quick CLI reference → router's Quick CLI Reference section below is sufficient

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.

helm is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,158 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
