Helm chart generation for Kubernetes workloads. Encodes battle-tested patterns for batch workers, web services, and CronJobs with optional production extras.
Skills
| Skill | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
generating-chart |
/helmcraft:chart |
Generate or customize a Helm chart |
auditing |
/helmcraft:audit |
Audit chart against best practices checklist |
Workload Types
| Type | Pattern | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Batch worker | Poll-then-exit | replicaCount:0, exec probes, no service, externally scaled |
| Web service | HTTP server | Service + Ingress, HTTP probes, replicaCount:1 |
| CronJob | Scheduled batch | CronJob spec, concurrencyPolicy, history limits |
Production Extras
Optional templates gated by .Values.{feature}.enabled:
- KEDA ScaledObject - Queue-based autoscaling (SQS, Kafka)
- NetworkPolicy - Restrict egress to specific services
- PodDisruptionBudget - Protect against voluntary disruptions
- ServiceMonitor - Prometheus metrics scraping
Modes
- Generate mode - Runs
helm create chart, then customizes for the selected workload type - Customize mode - Reads existing
chart/, identifies gaps, applies selected improvements
Patterns
- stringData for secrets - No manual base64 encoding, Kubernetes handles it
- Checksum annotations - Auto-restart pods on configmap/secret changes
- Config detection - Scans
config/settings.pyto suggest configmap keys - Security by default - Non-root, drop ALL, readOnlyRootFilesystem
