What it does

Checking Helm Chart Version Bumps is an agent skill from agntcy/coffeeAgntcy. Checks whether any Helm chart under coffeeAGNTCY/coffeeagents/{corto,lungo}/deployment/helm// has content changes not covered by a later Chart.yaml version: bump, anywhere in that chart's history, and bumps any that didn't. Use when editing files inside a Helm chart directory, before finishing such a change, when asked to check or audit Helm chart versions, or when performing docs/RELEASE-OPS.md Step 0 before a release.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Helm. The repository describes itself as: End-to-end reference application for AGNTCY Components. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing files inside a Helm chart directory
  • Before finishing such a change
  • Audit Helm chart versions
  • Performing docs/RELEASE-OPS.md Step 0 before a release

Example prompts

  • “s history, and bumps any that didn”
  • “Use the checking-helm-chart-version-bumps skill to check whether any Helm chart under coffeeAGNTCY/coffeeagents/{corto,lungo}/deployment/helm// has…”
  • “/checking-helm-chart-version-bumps”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1dbe6c5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Checking Helm Chart Version Bumps loads about 886 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~886

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Checks whether any Helm chart under coffeeAGNTCY/coffee_agents/{corto,lungo}/deployment/helm/*/ has content changes not covered by a later Chart.yaml `version:` bump, anywhere in that chart's history, and bumps any that didn't. Use when editing files inside a Helm chart directory, before finishing such a change, when asked to check or audit Helm chart versions, or when performing docs/RELEASE-OPS.md Step 0 before a release.

Checking Helm chart version bumps

What this skill does

Runs task helm:check-versions (defined in Taskfile.yaml, wrapping scripts/checks/check_helm_chart_versions.bash) to find every Helm chart whose contents changed - anywhere in that chart's history, not scoped to any release tag - without a later Chart.yaml version: bump covering that change, then bumps each flagged chart by ordinary semver judgment. This automates docs/RELEASE-OPS.md Step 0 instead of its old manual per-chart snippet, and is the same check task check:all runs as part of checks.yaml. See .agents/rules/quality/helm-chart-version-bump.md for the underlying rule.

Workflow

- [ ] 1. Run: task helm:check-versions (no arguments - it always checks
        every chart's whole history as of HEAD)
- [ ] 2. For each flagged chart, read what changed: git log -- <chart-dir>
- [ ] 3. Every flagged chart needs a bump - the `helm:check-versions` check
        is a CI merge gate with no trivial-diff exception, so even a pure
        comment/whitespace-only diff still needs (at least) a patch bump
- [ ] 4. Pick the bump level per ordinary semver:
        - patch: backward-compatible fix, internal tweak
        - minor: new value/template/feature, still backward compatible
        - major: breaking change to the chart's values.yaml interface or
          resource shape
- [ ] 5. Edit the flagged chart's Chart.yaml `version:` field (and any
        umbrella Chart.yaml dependency pin that references it)
- [ ] 6. Re-run task helm:check-versions to confirm every flagged chart is
        now clean

Notes

  • Charts are versioned independently - one chart's content change never requires bumping a sibling chart's version, even under the same umbrella repo.
  • appVersion tracks the application image version, not the chart content - only bump it if the chart's default image tag/reference actually changed. Don't conflate it with version:.
  • A chart's very first commit (adding its contents and setting its starting version: in the same commit) is never flagged - there's nothing earlier to compare it against.
  • The check doesn't follow a chart directory's renames (a git log limitation, not a design choice) - a rename can under-report content changes from before it. This is a stated limitation, not something to work around.
  • The script can only tell "contents changed, version didn't" from git history - it can't tell a real feature addition from a typo fix in a comment. Because the CI check enforces this as a merge gate with no trivial-diff exception, apply judgment (step 4) only to size the bump, never to skip it.
  • When running this as part of docs/RELEASE-OPS.md Step 0, open a version-bump PR per that document's "fix it now" guidance for anything flagged.
