helm-chart-builder — Claude Code plugin: Helm charts and Kubernetes
A Claude plugin for Helm chart work: scaffolding, values design, template patterns, dependencies and Kubernetes deployment strategies.
/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
/plugin install helm-chart-builder@claude-code-skillsWhat helm-chart-builder does
This plugin handles Helm chart development inside Claude. It walks from an empty directory to a working chart: scaffolding, values.yaml design, template patterns, dependency management and rollout strategies for Kubernetes.
The plugin ships as an agent skill from the alirezarezvani/claude-skills repository. Nothing extra to host — it runs through the plugin system. Already have charts? It still helps with template review and dependency cleanup.
Worth installing when Helm is already part of your stack. Without a Kubernetes cluster and a grasp of releases and values, you will struggle to check what the agent suggests — that is a reason to learn the basics first.
What it helps with
- scaffold a new Helm chart from scratch
- design a values.yaml that covers several environments
- split shared templates into helper files
- wire up and update chart dependencies
- pick a rollout strategy for Kubernetes
Example prompts for the agent
- scaffold a Helm chart for our service
- help me design values.yaml with dev and prod settings
- review the chart templates and suggest what belongs in helpers
