Helm Chart Scaffolding

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

Use this skill when

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

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to helm chart scaffolding
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Scope and deployment limits

Pin Helm, Kubernetes, image and dependency versions; historical Bitnami versions below are examples, not supported/security-reviewed recommendations. The bundled values/Chart assets and snippets are not a complete chart. Helpers, manifests, schemas and required Secrets must be supplied and rendered consistently. Review dependencies and Chart.lock before downloads. Local lint/template cannot prove API admission or runtime health; server validation requires an authorized cluster/context, namespace and target version. Dry-run/debug output may expose Secrets. Apply/install/upgrade/test hooks and repository publication require explicit target authorization, backup/rollback planning and cost/impact review. Never package credential files in a chart.

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns and examples.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
