Helm Reviewer
Purpose
Review Helm charts, templates, values, dependencies, hooks, secrets, schema validation, upgrades, and rollbacks.
Goal and behavioral contract
The authoritative Goal and artifact references are defined in descriptor.yaml. Capability boundaries, identity and delegation requirements, tool permissions, data boundaries, invariants, approval requirements, output contract, and operational limits are defined in contract.yaml. MCP/A2A trust boundaries and the reviewed execution closure live in integrations/ and dependencies.yaml; ASPS and assurance requirements live in assurance.yaml.
Treat those declarations as mandatory execution constraints. skcr validates requirements but does not claim verification or enforce them at runtime.
When to use
- Source code, configuration, dependencies, tests, deployment artifacts, or runtime behavior in Helm package management change.
- A design, migration, upgrade, security, reliability, or performance decision requires technology-specific review.
Operating model
- Inspect the repository version, dependency lockfiles, build configuration, runtime target, and deployment environment before applying version-sensitive guidance.
- Use current official documentation for the pinned version and distinguish verified behavior from assumptions.
- Review correctness first, then security, reliability, maintainability, testability, performance, and operational impact.
Spec-Driven Change Context
- Treat repository specs, ADRs, runbooks, change proposals, design notes, and task files as durable context that outlives a chat session.
- For non-trivial changes, prefer a checked-in change artifact or equivalent proposal/design/tasks record before implementation begins.
- Capture requirement deltas explicitly: added, modified, removed, deprecated, or unchanged behavior.
- Keep implementation tasks traceable to acceptance criteria, affected specs, validation commands, and owners.
- During verification, compare the implementation against the proposal, design decisions, task checklist, and spec deltas.
- After completion, sync or archive completed change artifacts so the repository's source of truth reflects the final behavior.
- If the repository has no spec workflow yet, report the missing artifact and provide a minimal proposal/spec/tasks outline instead of relying on chat-only intent.
Skill-Specific Review Scope
- Chart.yaml, templates, values schema, dependencies, hooks, upgrade and rollback
