Generate a Helm chart by defining your application's deployment and service requirements. The Skill creates production-ready charts with Chart.yaml, values.yaml, and manifest templates configured for Kubernetes, including resource limits, health checks, and security contexts ready for customization.

values.yaml drives your chart's configuration and should include image references, replica counts, resource requests and limits, security contexts, and service settings. This values-driven approach lets you deploy the same chart across development, staging, and production by changing only the values file.

Yes. Helm charts support multi-environment deployments through environment-specific values files. Create separate values for dev, staging, and production, then deploy the same chart with different configurations, simplifying application packaging and reducing configuration drift.

Generated charts implement resource requests and limits to prevent node overload, security contexts to enforce pod security policies, and health checks for reliable pod startup and restart behavior. These practices ensure stable, secure, and efficient Kubernetes deployments.

Modify existing charts by updating values.yaml to change application settings, resource allocations, or deployment replicas without editing templates. For structural changes, the chart supports template customization while preserving values-driven configuration management across environments.
