new-function

new-function is a skill for Claude Code from alexmond/jhelm. It costs 18 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided process for adding a new template function to jhelm, a Java implementation of Helm-style templates. It covers functions from Helm and Sprig, a library of template helpers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding functions for strings, collections, logic, maths, encoding, dates, networking, semantic versions, or other listed template features.
Why use it?
It helps place the function in the correct category and follow the project's implementation steps. The available excerpt does not describe the complete process.

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

new-function 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 1mo 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.

Add a new template function

Guided workflow for adding a new template function named $ARGUMENTS.

Step 1: Determine the category

Helm functions (in jhelm-gotemplate/src/main/java/.../helm/):

  • conversion/ConversionFunctions.java — YAML/JSON conversion (toYaml, fromJson, etc.)
  • template/TemplateFunctions.java — Template inclusion (include, tpl, required)
  • kubernetes/KubernetesFunctions.java — Kubernetes integration (lookup)
  • chart/ChartFunctions.java — Chart utilities (semverCompare, certificate generation)

Sprig functions (in jhelm-gotemplate/src/main/java/.../sprig/):

  • strings/StringFunctions.java — String manipulation
  • collections/CollectionFunctions.java — List/dict operations
  • logic/LogicFunctions.java — default, empty, coalesce, ternary
  • math/MathFunctions.java — Arithmetic operations
  • encoding/EncodingFunctions.java — Base64, SHA, etc.
  • crypto/CryptoFunctions.java — UUID, random, encryption
  • date/DateFunctions.java — Date formatting/manipulation
  • reflection/ReflectionFunctions.java — Type checking
  • network/NetworkFunctions.java — DNS lookup
  • semver/SemverFunctions.java — Semantic versioning

Step 2: Implement the function

  1. Add the function to the appropriate category class
  2. Follow existing patterns in that class (method signature, error handling)
  3. Use @Slf4j for logging if needed
  4. For strict variants, create a must* version that throws on error

Step 3: Registration

The function auto-registers via the coordinator:

  • Helm functions: HelmFunctions.java → getFunctionCategories()
  • Sprig functions: SprigFunctionsRegistry.java → getFunctionCategories()

If adding a new category, update getFunctionCategories() in the appropriate coordinator.

Step 4: Add tests

Add tests in the corresponding test class (e.g., Helm4FunctionsTest.java, or the test class for the Sprig category).

Step 5: Verify

Run the relevant module tests:

./mvnw test -pl jhelm-gotemplate

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.

new-function is a skill published in the GitHub repository alexmond/jhelm (7 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 536 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
