generating-helm-charts
tessl i github:jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill generating-helm-chartsExecute use when generating Helm charts for Kubernetes applications. Trigger with phrases like "create Helm chart", "generate chart for app", "package Kubernetes deployment", or "helm template". Produces production-ready charts with Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates, and best practices for multi-environment deployments.

Implementation
50%This skill provides a reasonable structural overview for Helm chart generation with good organization and some concrete examples, but falls short on actionability by not including actual template content for the core Kubernetes resources. The workflow lacks explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops, and the skill includes placeholder sections that waste tokens.
Suggestions
Add executable template examples for at least deployment.yaml and service.yaml with proper Go templating syntax
Integrate validation steps directly into the workflow with explicit checkpoints (e.g., 'Run helm lint before proceeding to step 5')
Remove the empty 'Overview' and 'Examples' placeholder sections at the end
Add a _helpers.tpl example showing common template functions like fullname and labels
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill includes some unnecessary sections (generic 'Overview' and 'Examples' placeholders at the end add no value) and the prerequisites list items Claude would already know (like 'Understanding of application resource requirements'). However, the core content is reasonably efficient. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete YAML examples for Chart.yaml and values.yaml, but the actual template files (deployment.yaml, service.yaml, etc.) are only listed without executable content. The instructions are high-level steps rather than specific commands or copy-paste ready templates. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed in logical sequence and validation is mentioned (helm lint, helm template), but there's no explicit feedback loop for error recovery. The workflow lacks checkpoints like 'validate before proceeding' and doesn't integrate the error handling section into the workflow steps. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is reasonably organized with clear sections, but the detailed template examples that would make this actionable are missing entirely. References to external resources are provided but internal documentation structure (like separate files for complex templates) is not utilized. | 2 / 3 |

Activation
100%This is a strong skill description that clearly defines its purpose, provides explicit trigger phrases, and specifies concrete outputs. It effectively communicates both what the skill does and when to use it, with domain-specific terminology that distinguishes it from related skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions and outputs: 'generating Helm charts', 'Produces production-ready charts with Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates' and mentions 'best practices for multi-environment deployments'. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (generates Helm charts with specific files and best practices) and when (explicit 'Use when' equivalent with 'Execute use when' and 'Trigger with phrases like...'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger phrases users would say: 'create Helm chart', 'generate chart for app', 'package Kubernetes deployment', 'helm template'. These are realistic user requests. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very clear niche focused specifically on Helm charts for Kubernetes. The specific file outputs (Chart.yaml, values.yaml) and domain-specific triggers make it unlikely to conflict with general Kubernetes or deployment skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
