| 6 | # Helm Chart Scaffolding |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Comprehensive guidance for creating, organizing, and managing Helm charts for packaging and deploying Kubernetes applications. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## Purpose |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This skill provides step-by-step instructions for building production-ready Helm charts, including chart structure, templating patterns, values management, and validation strategies. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Use this skill when you need to: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - Create new Helm charts from scratch |
| 19 | - Package Kubernetes applications for distribution |
| 20 | - Manage multi-environment deployments with Helm |
| 21 | - Implement templating for reusable Kubernetes manifests |
| 22 | - Set up Helm chart repositories |
| 23 | - Follow Helm best practices and conventions |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ## Detailed patterns and worked examples |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ## Best Practices |
| 30 | |
| 31 | 1. **Use semantic versioning** for chart and app versions |
| 32 | 2. **Document all values** in values.yaml with comments |
| 33 | 3. **Use template helpers** for repeated logic |
| 34 | 4. **Validate charts** before packaging |
| 35 | 5. **Pin dependency versions** explicitly |
| 36 | 6. **Use conditions** for optional resources |
| 37 | 7. **Follow naming conventions** (lowercase, hyphens) |
| 38 | 8. **Include NOTES.txt** with usage instructions |
| 39 | 9. **Add labels** consistently using helpers |
| 40 | 10. **Test installations** in all environments |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ## Troubleshooting |
| 43 | |
| 44 | **Template rendering errors:** |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ```bash |
| 47 | helm template my-app ./my-app --debug |
| 48 | ``` |
| 49 | |
| 50 | **Dependency issues:** |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ```bash |
| 53 | helm dependency update |
| 54 | helm dependency list |
| 55 | ``` |
| 56 | |
| 57 | **Installation failures:** |
| 58 | |
| 59 | ```bash |
| 60 | helm install my-app ./my-app --dry-run --debug |
| 61 | kubectl get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' |
| 62 | ``` |
