# Plan and apply many Helm releases from one declarative state before cluster changes drift out of sync with Helmfile

Keep multi-chart Kubernetes environments coherent by diffing and syncing all declared Helm releases from one state file.

## Prerequisites

Helmfile binary, Helm CLI, access to the target Kubernetes clusters, chart repositories, and environment-specific values or secrets

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install Helmfile from the upstream release or package instructions, define the desired releases and environments in a helmfile.yaml configuration, then run the documented diff or sync commands against the target cluster contexts.
```
