What it does
Generating Helm Charts is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute use when generating Helm charts for Kubernetes applications. Trigger with phrases like "create Helm chart", "generate chart for app", "package Kubernetes deployment", or "helm template". Produces production-ready charts with Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates, and best practices for multi-environment deployments.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `assets/values_schema.json` and `references/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Helm and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Generating Helm charts for Kubernetes applications
- With phrases like create Helm chart
- Generate chart for app
- Package Kubernetes deployment
Example prompts
- “create Helm chart”
- “generate chart for app”
- “package Kubernetes deployment”
- “/generating-helm-charts”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(helm:*), Bash(kubectl:*)
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Analyze the application: identify container images, ports, environment variables, volumes, and dependencies
- Scaffold the chart structure: Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates/, charts/, .helmignore
- Create Chart.yaml with apiVersion: v2, name, version, appVersion, and dependency declarations
- Define values.yaml with sensible production defaults: replica count, image config, resource limits, ingress settings
- Build templates using Go template syntax with proper .Values references and _helpers.tpl for reusable named templates
- Add health checks: livenessProbe and readinessProbe in the deployment template with configurable paths and thresholds
- Configure security context: runAsNonRoot: true, readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, and drop all capabilities
- Create environment-specific values files: values-dev.yaml, values-staging.yaml, values-prod.yaml
- Add NOTES.txt with post-install instructions showing how to access the application
- Validate with helm lint . and test rendering with helm template . --values values-prod.yaml
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGrepGlobBash(helm:*)Bash(kubectl:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
helm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
helm.shartifacthub.io
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.
Compatibility
Designed for Claude Code
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Generating Helm Charts loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Generating Helm Charts
Overview
Generate production-ready Helm 3 charts for Kubernetes applications with Chart.yaml, values.yaml, Go templates, and helper functions. Support multi-environment deployments with values overrides, dependency management, security contexts, health probes, and resource limits following Helm best practices.
Prerequisites
- Helm 3.x installed (
helm version) kubectlconfigured with cluster access for testing chart installation- Container images available in a registry accessible from the cluster
- Understanding of application resource requirements (CPU, memory, ports, volumes)
- Chart repository access if publishing (ChartMuseum, OCI registry, or GitHub Pages)
Instructions
- Analyze the application: identify container images, ports, environment variables, volumes, and dependencies
- Scaffold the chart structure:
Chart.yaml,values.yaml,templates/,charts/,.helmignore - Create
Chart.yamlwithapiVersion: v2, name, version, appVersion, and dependency declarations - Define
values.yamlwith sensible production defaults: replica count, image config, resource limits, ingress settings - Build templates using Go template syntax with proper
.Valuesreferences and_helpers.tplfor reusable named templates - Add health checks:
livenessProbeandreadinessProbein the deployment template with configurable paths and thresholds - Configure security context:
runAsNonRoot: true,readOnlyRootFilesystem: true, and drop all capabilities - Create environment-specific values files:
values-dev.yaml,values-staging.yaml,values-prod.yaml - Add
NOTES.txtwith post-install instructions showing how to access the application - Validate with
helm lint .and test rendering withhelm template . --values values-prod.yaml
Output
- Complete Helm chart directory structure
Chart.yamlwith metadata and dependenciesvalues.yamlwith documented, configurable defaults- Template files:
deployment.yaml,service.yaml,ingress.yaml,configmap.yaml,serviceaccount.yaml,hpa.yaml _helpers.tplwith name, label, and selector helper templatesNOTES.txtwith post-install access instructions- Environment-specific values override files

Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
Chart.yaml: version is required | Missing or malformed version field | Add a valid SemVer version string to Chart.yaml |
parse error in template | Go template syntax error (missing end, wrong function) | Run helm template . to pinpoint the error; check bracket matching and function names |
dependency not found | Chart dependency not downloaded | Run helm dependency update to fetch dependencies into charts/ |
release failed: timed out waiting for condition | Pods not reaching ready state during install | Check pod logs; verify image exists, resource limits are sufficient, and probes are correct |
values override not applied | Wrong values file path or key mismatch | Verify --values file path and that keys match the structure in values.yaml exactly |
Examples
- "Generate a Helm chart for a Node.js API with 3 replicas, an Nginx ingress, PostgreSQL subchart dependency, and environment-specific values for dev and prod."
- "Create a Helm chart for a stateful application with PersistentVolumeClaim, headless service, and configurable storage class."
- "Package an existing set of Kubernetes manifests into a Helm chart with parameterized image tag, replica count, and resource limits."
