helm

helm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (500 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for Helm, a package manager that turns Kubernetes configuration files into reusable packages called charts. Charts can use different settings for environments such as testing and production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create charts, set environment-specific values, package related services in an umbrella chart, deploy applications, and roll back a broken release.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated Kubernetes configuration and makes deployments more consistent across environments. It also describes how to group multiple services and recover from a failed deployment.

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 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.

Helm Skill

The package manager for Kubernetes.

Ecosystem Graph

graph LR
  helm["Helm"]
  helm -- "depends on" --> kubernetes
  helm -- "integrates with" --> argo-cd

Quick Start

Helm packages Kubernetes YAML files into distributable 'Charts'. It allows templating YAML files so you can deploy identical apps to staging and production with different environment variables.

helm install my-release bitnami/redis

Production Patterns

Umbrella Charts

For complex microservice architectures, create an 'Umbrella' Helm chart that contains no templates of its own, but defines your individual microservice charts as dependencies in Chart.yaml. This allows deploying your entire ecosystem with a single command.

Architecture & Scaling

Values Overrides

Keep your chart templates generic. Define environment-specific configurations entirely within values-staging.yaml and values-prod.yaml. Pass these during installation: helm upgrade -f values-prod.yaml ...

Error Recovery

Use helm rollback <release> <revision> to instantly revert a broken deployment. Helm tracks the history of deployed charts natively in Kubernetes Secrets.

Security Notes

Do not store plaintext passwords in values.yaml files committed to Git. Use tools like HashiCorp Vault or helm-secrets (backed by SOPS) to inject encrypted values at deploy time.

Relationships

Prerequisites: kubernetes

Works Well With: argo-cd

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with helm — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

AI pitfalls

  • Referencing CLI flags or config keys that do not exist
  • Using outdated major versions of tools
  • Skipping lockfile or version pinning in examples

Production checklist

  • Secrets in environment variables, not source code
  • Error handling and logging in place
  • Rate limits and timeouts configured

Changes

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.
