helm-charts

helm-charts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dallay/agents-skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide and toolkit for creating and managing Helm charts, which package Kubernetes applications and their configuration for deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building or reviewing Helm charts, managing dependencies, configuring deployment hooks, validating values, and troubleshooting failed releases.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common deployment errors in chart templates, configuration values, resource names, dependencies, and lifecycle hooks.

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-charts scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 371 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

  • Creating a new Helm chart for a Kubernetes application.
  • Writing or reviewing Helm templates (templates/, _helpers.tpl).
  • Managing chart dependencies and multi-chart deployments.
  • Configuring hooks for lifecycle events (migrations, backups, cleanup).
  • Debugging template rendering issues or failed releases.

Critical Patterns

  • Named Templates in _helpers.tpl: ALWAYS extract reusable label sets, selectors, and name logic into named templates. Duplicating labels across resources is a maintenance trap.
  • Values Schema Validation: Provide a values.schema.json to catch misconfiguration early, before templates render invalid YAML.
  • Immutable Selectors: NEVER change matchLabels selectors after initial deployment — Kubernetes rejects updates to immutable fields and the release breaks.
  • Quote All Strings in Templates: Use {{ .Values.foo | quote }} for string values to prevent YAML type coercion ("true" becomes boolean true without quotes).
  • Resource Naming Conventions: Include release name in resource names via {{ include "mychart.fullname" . }} to support multiple installations in the same namespace.
  • Hook Weight and Delete Policy: Always set helm.sh/hook-weight for ordering and helm.sh/hook-delete-policy to clean up completed hook resources.

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-charts is a skill published in the GitHub repository dallay/agents-skills (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,906 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
