Build Your Helm Skill

Before learning Helm—packaging Kubernetes deployments as reusable charts—you'll own a Helm skill.

Step 1: Get the Skills Lab​

  1. Go to github.com/panaversity/claude-code-skills-lab
  2. Click the green Code button
  3. Select Download ZIP
  4. Extract the ZIP file
  5. Open the extracted folder in your terminal
cd claude-code-skills-lab
claude

Step 2: Create Your Skill​

Copy and paste this prompt:

Using your skill creator skill create a new skill for Helm charts. I will use
it to package Kubernetes applications from hello world to professional production
charts. Use context7 skill to study official documentation and then build it
so no self assumed knowledge.

Claude will:

  1. Fetch official Helm documentation via Context7
  2. Ask you clarifying questions (templating complexity, values structure, dependencies)
  3. Create the complete skill with references and templates

Your skill appears at .claude/skills/helm-chart/.

Done​

You now own a Helm skill built from official documentation. The rest of this chapter teaches you what it knows—and how to make it better.
