This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 20, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Pure prose style guide, no scripts. Asked to template a container image block both ways: the baseline emitted a flat repository:tag; following the skill produced a $registry := .image.registry | default .global.image.registry | default "docker.io" override plus namespaced defines and the standard app.kubernetes.io label set — a concrete air-gapped-ready delta. helm binary was absent so lint could not be run; the improvement is in generated content, not measured by execution.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Helm Charts Style Guide does

A style-guide skill that injects standardized Helm chart conventions when you author or review charts: global.image.registry overrides for air-gapped registries, namespaced helper templates, the recommended app.kubernetes.io label set, RBAC/ServiceAccount separation, and fixed-tag image rules. Triggers on Helm, Chart.yaml, values.yaml, helmfile, or Kubernetes manifest templating.

How to install Helm Charts Style Guide

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger Helm Charts Style Guide

  • /helm-charts Helm chart authoring conventions: registry overrides, labels, RBAC, templating

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Review this Helm chart's values.yaml against our style conventions
  • Add proper RBAC and ServiceAccount separation to this Helm chart
  • Set up global.image.registry overrides for our air-gapped cluster
