Helm Chart Generator

Generate and validate Helm charts for Kubernetes applications. Scaffolds chart structure, templates Deployments/Services/Ingress with sane values, parameterizes via values.yaml, adds helpers and hooks, and checks charts against best practices.

This skill builds maintainable Helm charts: scaffolding Chart.yaml and templates, parameterizing resources through values.yaml, writing _helpers.tpl, adding lifecycle hooks, and validating output so your Kubernetes packaging stays clean and reusable.

When to use

Use when creating or refactoring Helm charts, templating Kubernetes manifests, parameterizing deployments through values.yaml, or validating chart structure.

Examples

Chart from scratch

Package an app

Generate a Helm chart for a stateless API with configurable replicas, resource limits, an Ingress, and a values file per environment

Parameterize manifests

Move to values.yaml

Convert these hardcoded Kubernetes manifests into a Helm chart with everything environment-specific driven from values.yaml
