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-chart-patterns 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.

Helm Chart Patterns

Expert guidance for developing production-grade Helm charts covering chart structure, templating patterns, multi-environment configuration, dependency management, testing strategies, and distribution workflows for Kubernetes application packaging.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating reusable Helm charts for applications and services
  • Building application catalogs and chart repositories
  • Managing multi-environment deployments (dev, staging, production)
  • Implementing advanced templating with conditionals and loops
  • Managing chart dependencies and subcharts
  • Implementing chart hooks for lifecycle management
  • Testing and validating chart templates
  • Packaging and distributing charts via repositories
  • Using Helmfile for multi-chart orchestration

Core Concepts

Chart Types

  • Application charts: Standard deployable charts for your services
  • Library charts: Reusable template helpers (not directly installable)

Key Files

File Purpose
Chart.yaml Metadata, version, dependencies
values.yaml Default configuration
values.schema.json Input validation
templates/_helpers.tpl Reusable template functions
templates/*.yaml Kubernetes manifests

Template Essentials

  • Quote strings: {{ .Values.name | quote }}
  • Indent properly: {{- toYaml . | nindent 4 }}
  • Use helpers: {{ include "my-app.fullname" . }}
  • Check nil: {{- if .Values.optional }}

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.
