helm-chart-scaffolding

helm-chart-scaffolding is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreUIUX-Claude-Code. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,968 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Helm charts, which are reusable packages of templates and configuration for deploying applications to Kubernetes. Kubernetes is a system for running and managing containerised applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create Helm charts, template Kubernetes resources, manage values for multiple environments, package applications, and handle chart dependencies and releases.
Why use it?
It reduces the repeated manual work of writing Kubernetes configuration for different environments. It also explains how to organise, validate, package, and reuse deployment settings.

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-scaffolding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-chart.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Scaffolding

Comprehensive guidance for creating, organizing, and managing Helm charts for packaging and deploying Kubernetes applications.

Purpose

This skill provides step-by-step instructions for building production-ready Helm charts, including chart structure, templating patterns, values management, and validation strategies.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create new Helm charts from scratch
  • Package Kubernetes applications for distribution
  • Manage multi-environment deployments with Helm
  • Implement templating for reusable Kubernetes manifests
  • Set up Helm chart repositories
  • Follow Helm best practices and conventions

Helm Overview

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes that:

  • Templates Kubernetes manifests for reusability
  • Manages application releases and rollbacks
  • Handles dependencies between charts
  • Provides version control for deployments
  • Simplifies configuration management across environments

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Initialize Chart Structure

Create new chart:

helm create my-app

Standard chart structure:

my-app/
├── Chart.yaml           # Chart metadata
├── values.yaml          # Default configuration values
├── charts/              # Chart dependencies
├── templates/           # Kubernetes manifest templates
│   ├── NOTES.txt       # Post-install notes
│   ├── _helpers.tpl    # Template helpers
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   ├── serviceaccount.yaml
│   ├── hpa.yaml
│   └── tests/
│       └── test-connection.yaml
└── .helmignore         # Files to ignore

2. Configure Chart.yaml

Chart metadata defines the package:

apiVersion: v2
name: my-app
description: A Helm chart for My Application
type: application
version: 1.0.0      # Chart version
appVersion: "2.1.0" # Application version

# Keywords for chart discovery
keywords:
  - web
  - api
  - backend

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.
