helm

helm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FortiumPartners/ensemble. It costs 0 tokens per session (5,794 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick reference for Helm, a tool that packages and deploys applications to Kubernetes using reusable configuration templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create Helm charts, manage chart dependencies and values, test charts, and handle application releases on Kubernetes.
Why use it?
It helps you find the right chart structure, template syntax, values patterns, and deployment commands without searching through a full guide.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

Helm Chart Quick Reference

Version: 1.0.0 | Target Size: <100KB | Purpose: Fast reference for Helm chart development and deployment


Overview

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies application deployment through charts - pre-configured Kubernetes resource templates. This quick reference provides essential patterns for chart creation, templating, and deployment.

When to Load This Skill:

  • Detected: Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates/ directory
  • Manual: --tools=helm flag
  • Use Case: Kubernetes application packaging and deployment

Progressive Disclosure:

  • This file (SKILL.md): Quick reference for immediate use
  • REFERENCE.md: Comprehensive guide with advanced patterns and 10+ production examples

Table of Contents

  1. Chart Structure
  2. Chart.yaml Configuration
  3. Template Syntax Quick Reference
  4. Values File Patterns
  5. Common Helm Commands
  6. Dependency Management
  7. Release Lifecycle
  8. Testing with Helm
  9. Security Best Practices
  10. Quick Examples

Chart Structure

Standard Helm chart directory layout:

mychart/
├── Chart.yaml          # Chart metadata (name, version, description)
├── values.yaml         # Default configuration values
├── charts/             # Chart dependencies (subcharts)
├── templates/          # Kubernetes manifest templates
│   ├── NOTES.txt       # Post-install usage notes
│   ├── _helpers.tpl    # Named templates (partials)
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   ├── configmap.yaml
│   └── secret.yaml
├── .helmignore         # Files to exclude from packaging
└── README.md           # Chart documentation

Key Concepts:

  • Chart.yaml: Defines chart metadata (name, version, dependencies)
  • values.yaml: Default configuration values (can be overridden)
  • templates/: Go templates that render to Kubernetes manifests
  • charts/: Dependency charts (populated by helm dependency update)

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

helm is a skill published in the GitHub repository FortiumPartners/ensemble (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 5,794 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
