chainloop: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/upgrading-chart/SKILL.md

upgrading-chart is a skill for Claude Code from chainloop-dev/chainloop. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for upgrading PostgreSQL and Vault dependencies packaged as Helm charts. Helm charts are templates used to deploy applications and services to Kubernetes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Updating PostgreSQL or Vault chart versions, their packaged container images, and related deployment workflows.
Why use it?
It makes allowed patch and minor upgrades easier while stopping major upgrades that require manual review.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is chainloop-dev/chainloop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on chainloop itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything chainloop configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is cd ../../devel && docker compose down && docker compose up.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to chainloop-dev/chainloop. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

upgrading-chart 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.

Upgrading Helm Chart Dependencies

This skill automates the upgrade process for Helm chart dependencies in the Chainloop project. Supports PostgreSQL and Vault (both Bitnami charts).

CRITICAL RESTRICTIONS

Version Upgrade Rules:

  • Patch upgrades (1.2.3 → 1.2.4): ALLOWED
  • Minor upgrades (1.2.x → 1.3.x): ALLOWED
  • Major upgrades (1.x.x → 2.x.x): FORBIDDEN - STOP IMMEDIATELY

MANDATORY: If major version upgrade is detected, STOP the process and inform the user that manual review is required.

Upgrade Types

The skill supports two upgrade types:

  1. Specific Image Upgrade: Update container image to specific version (chart unchanged)
  2. Chart Minor Version Upgrade: Update chart to latest minor version (may include image updates)

IMPORTANT: Container images are ONLY updated as part of chart upgrades, never independently (unless Type 1).

Process

1. Identify Upgrade Type

Ask the user which type of upgrade they want:

  • Type 1: Specific image version upgrade
  • Type 2: Latest minor chart version upgrade

Also ask which chart: postgresql or vault

2. Pre-Upgrade Validation

Check current state:

cat deployment/chainloop/charts/<chart-name>/Chart.yaml | grep "^version:"
cat deployment/chainloop/charts/<chart-name>/Chart.yaml | grep "^appVersion:"

3. Version Compatibility Check

For any version change, validate that major version remains the same:

CURRENT_MAJOR=$(echo "$CURRENT_VERSION" | cut -d. -f1)
TARGET_MAJOR=$(echo "$TARGET_VERSION" | cut -d. -f1)

if [ "$CURRENT_MAJOR" != "$TARGET_MAJOR" ]; then
    echo "FORBIDDEN: Major version upgrade detected"
    exit 1
fi

If major version upgrade detected, STOP and escalate.

Type 1: Specific Image Upgrade

See image-upgrade-process.md for detailed steps.

Summary:

  1. Locate target container image in Bitnami Containers
  2. Find commit with release message pattern
  3. Extract APP_VERSION from Dockerfile
  4. Update deployment/charts/<chart-name>/Chart.yaml appVersion
  5. Update .github/workflows/build_external_container_images.yaml commit hash

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
