Can this skill help me convert existing YAML manifests to Helm?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for parameterizing static manifests, creating values.yaml files, and organizing templates into a standard Helm structure.

How does it handle complex dependency management?

It includes detailed guidance on defining subcharts, managing Chart.lock files, and overriding subchart values from the parent chart's configuration.

Can it help me validate my charts before deployment?

Yes, it covers comprehensive validation techniques including 'helm lint' for syntax, 'helm template' for rendering, and dry-run installations for server-side API checks.

Does it support Helm 3 standards?

Absolutely. The skill is built around Helm 3 best practices, including v2 API versions in Chart.yaml and OCI registry distribution.
