helm-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Aidas-dev/k8s-agent-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task guide for running Helm, a Kubernetes package manager, in development and production support work. It covers release checks, troubleshooting, registries, hooks, configuration, and GitOps tools such as Flux and Argo CD.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list and inspect releases, review values and rendered Kubernetes files, troubleshoot failures, work with OCI registries and hooks, and connect Helm releases to Flux or Argo CD.
Why use it?
It helps you inspect or repair Helm releases and choose Git-managed deployment workflows instead of relying on undocumented manual changes.

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-ops 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 7d 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.

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.
