What this skill does
Helm Chart Builder Category: Engineering Domain: Kubernetes & Helm Overview The Helm Chart Builder skill provides automated analysis of Helm charts including structure validation, values checking, template inspection, and dependency review. It helps teams maintain high-quality charts with correct configurations, proper security contexts, and complete documentation. Clarify First Before analyzing the chart, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume: [ ] Chart path — which chart directory to analyze (sets --path/--chart) [ ] Values files — which environment values files to validate (sets --values and what gets checked against best practices) [ ] Strictness — strict/lint mode and JSON for CI (sets --strict --format json and whether findings gate the pipeline) Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact. Quick Start Tools Overview chartanalyzer.py Analyzes Helm chart structure, metadata, templates, and dependencies. Feature Description --------- ------------- Structure validation Checks required files exist (Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates/) Metadata check Validates Chart.yaml fields, version format, appVersion Template review Inspects templates for common patterns and issues Dependency analysis Reviews subchart dependencies and version constraints Documentation check Verifies NOTES.txt and README presence valuesvalidator.py Validates values files against chart expectations and Kubernetes best practices. Feature Description --------- ------------- Resource limits Checks for CPU/memory requests and limits Security context Validates runAsNonRoot, readOnlyRootFilesystem Replica count Checks for production-appropriate replica counts Image tags Flags use of latest or missing image tags Ingress config Validates ingress annotations and TLS settings Workflows Chart Review Workflow 1. …
