Quick Start
Helm packages Kubernetes YAML files into distributable 'Charts'. It allows templating YAML files so you can deploy identical apps to staging and production with different environment variables.
helm install my-release bitnami/redis
Production Patterns
Umbrella Charts
For complex microservice architectures, create an 'Umbrella' Helm chart that contains no templates of its own, but defines your individual microservice charts as dependencies in Chart.yaml. This allows deploying your entire ecosystem with a single command.
Architecture & Scaling
Values Overrides
Keep your chart templates generic. Define environment-specific configurations entirely within values-staging.yaml and values-prod.yaml. Pass these during installation: helm upgrade -f values-prod.yaml ...
Error Recovery
Use helm rollback to instantly revert a broken deployment. Helm tracks the history of deployed charts natively in Kubernetes Secrets.
Security Notes
Do not store plaintext passwords in values.yaml files committed to Git. Use tools like HashiCorp Vault or helm-secrets (backed by SOPS) to inject encrypted values at deploy time.

Why use this skill
Use this when your agent works with helm — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.
AI pitfalls
- Referencing CLI flags or config keys that do not exist
- Using outdated major versions of tools
- Skipping lockfile or version pinning in examples
Production checklist
- [ ] Secrets in environment variables, not source code
- [ ] Error handling and logging in place
- [ ] Rate limits and timeouts configured
