## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Works with: Kubernetes

## Install
