What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves confusion about what “Helm-managed” really means for a Kubernetes resource by separating direct Helm installs from Helm applied via Flux or rendered by Argo CD, so you can trace each field back to its true source.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Helm-via-disambiguation matrix: Uses metadata.managedFields manager-string co-signals plus Helm label families to classify ownership as direct Helm, Flux helm-controller (HelmRelease), or Argo CD as a Helm renderer.
  • Helm ownership detection signals: Detects Helm releases using app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm with app.kubernetes.io/instance, and falls back to helm.sh/chart when needed (including legacy charts).
  • Practical investigations: Helps answer which chart produced a Deployment/API object, why app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm appears, and what the next best diagnostic step should be.

Quick Start

Use observe-helm to determine whether a specific Deployment in your cluster is owned by direct Helm, Flux helm-controller, or Argo CD rendering a Helm chart.
