Helm Chart Scaffolding

Creates proper Helm chart structure with Chart.yaml metadata, hierarchical values.yaml organization, and templated Kubernetes manifests. Handles the tedious scaffolding work like setting up _helpers.tpl with standard naming functions, configuring dependencies, and organizing multi-environment value files. Includes validation scripts that run helm lint and template rendering checks. Most useful when you're tired of copying chart boilerplate between projects or need to package existing Kubernetes apps for distribution. The templating patterns follow Helm best practices, so you get consistent naming and labeling without memorizing the helper function syntax.
