deploy-service

deploy-service is a skill for Claude Code from stbenjam/skillsaw. It costs 18 tokens per session (451 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A deployment skill for releasing a service to Kubernetes, a system that runs applications in containers, using Helm charts, which package Kubernetes configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy or update a service in staging or production and verify that the Kubernetes deployment completes.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable release process: check the chart, combine settings for the target environment, review the generated configuration, deploy, and check rollout status.

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

deploy-service 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 6d 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 it actually says

Deploy Service

Automates the deployment of microservices to Kubernetes clusters using Helm charts and environment-specific value overrides.

When to Use This Skill

Use when deploying a service to staging or production, or when updating an existing deployment with new configuration.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Validate Chart

Run helm lint charts/ to verify the Helm chart is syntactically valid. Check that all required values are defined in values.yaml:

  • image.repository
  • image.tag
  • replicaCount
  • resources.limits.cpu
  • resources.limits.memory

Step 2: Apply Configuration

Merge environment-specific values from values-{env}.yaml with the base values.yaml file:

helm template my-service charts/ \
  -f charts/values.yaml \
  -f charts/values-$ENV.yaml \
  --dry-run

Review the rendered manifest before applying.

Step 3: Execute Deployment

Run helm upgrade --install with the merged configuration:

helm upgrade --install my-service charts/ \
  -f charts/values.yaml \
  -f charts/values-$ENV.yaml \
  -n $NAMESPACE \
  --wait --timeout 300s

Step 4: Verify

Run kubectl rollout status deployment/my-service -n $NAMESPACE to confirm all pods are ready. Check that health endpoints return 200.

Examples

Example 1: Deploy to Staging

Deploy the user service to the staging cluster with default values:

helm upgrade --install user-service charts/ -f charts/values-staging.yaml -n staging

Example 2: Deploy with Custom Tag

Override the image tag for a specific build:

helm upgrade --install user-service charts/ --set image.tag=abc1234 -n production
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.
