helm-upstream

helm-upstream is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexmond/jhelm. It costs 16 tokens per session (451 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for checking recent Helm releases, issues, and security fixes against jhelm. Helm is a tool for packaging and deploying applications to Kubernetes; jhelm is a related Java implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent Helm release notes and closed issues for template, values, packaging, registry, and security changes relevant to jhelm.
Why use it?
It helps identify upstream fixes or vulnerabilities that may also affect jhelm. It separates findings that require action from those needing further investigation or that do not apply.

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-upstream 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 4d 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 it actually says

Check Upstream Helm Releases

Check the latest Helm releases for closed issues, security fixes, and bug fixes that may be applicable to jhelm.

Steps

  1. Fetch latest releases (default 4, or $ARGUMENTS if specified):
gh release list -R helm/helm --limit ${ARGUMENTS:-4}
  1. Get release notes for each:
gh release view <tag> -R helm/helm
  1. Fetch closed issues associated with these releases:
gh issue list -R helm/helm --state closed --limit 50 --json number,title,labels,closedAt,body
  1. Cross-reference with jhelm — for each issue, determine if it applies:

    • Template engine bugs → check jhelm-gotemplate
    • Values merging/coalescing → check Engine.java, ValuesLoader.java
    • Chart extraction/packaging → check RepoManager.java, ChartLoader.java
    • OCI registry → check OciRegistryClient.java
    • Security advisories → always check
    • CLI/plugin/Kubernetes-specific → usually not applicable
  2. Categorize findings:

    • APPLICABLE — Action Required: jhelm has the same vulnerability/bug
    • APPLICABLE — Verify: jhelm may be affected, needs investigation
    • NOT APPLICABLE: jhelm handles this differently or doesn't implement the feature

Report Format

Issue Severity Description jhelm Status Action
# Security/Bug/Feature Summary Affected/Safe/N/A Create issue / No action

For each APPLICABLE finding, suggest whether to create a GitHub issue.

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.
