AI Skills

Skills are structured markdown documents bundled with a lexicon. When an AI agent works in a chant project, it discovers and loads relevant skills automatically — giving it operational knowledge about the Helm chart workflow.

The chant-helm skill teaches AI agents how to:

  • Scaffold new Helm chart projects with chant init --lexicon helm
  • Use Helm intrinsics (values proxy, include, printf, toYaml, If/Range/With)
  • Build and validate charts with chant + helm CLI
  • Debug common issues (unbalanced braces, hardcoded images, missing metadata)
  • Use composites for common patterns (WebApp, Microservice, StatefulService)

When you scaffold a new project with chant init --lexicon helm, the skill is installed to skills/chant-helm/SKILL.md for automatic discovery by Claude Code.
