What is the Helm Chart Development skill for Claude?

It is a specialized capability that provides Claude with the patterns and knowledge needed to create, structure, and manage Helm charts for Kubernetes efficiently.

Can it help me debug my Helm templates?

Yes, it includes standard validation commands like helm lint, helm template, and dry-run installs to help identify errors before deployment.

How do I manage different environments like Production and Dev?

The skill provides a multi-environment configuration pattern using separate values files (e.g., values-dev.yaml and values-prod.yaml) for clean separation of concerns.

Does this skill help with Helm best practices?

Yes, it enforces best practices such as semantic versioning, using template helpers, documenting values, and pinning dependency versions.
