A guide to Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes applications. Helm uses reusable packages called Charts to install, configure, upgrade, inspect, and remove groups of Kubernetes resources.

Use it to add and update repositories, search for Charts, install releases with custom values, preview templates, inspect status and history, upgrade deployments, and roll them back.

It provides the commands and concepts needed to manage Kubernetes deployments without editing every resource separately.

helm — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by chaterm

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add chaterm/terminal-skills --skill helm

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/chaterm/terminal-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 6 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00006	$0.01895
Opus 5	$0.00003	$0.00948
Sonnet 5	$0.00001	$0.00379
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00189

Measured 9d ago against content hash c07e1f95db23, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-08, from the pricing page.

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 9d 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 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.

helm is a skill published in the GitHub repository chaterm/terminal-skills (58 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 1,895 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
