Helm Docs

Helm 3 assumptions no longer hold in Helm 4, so ground each answer in the live docs at https://helm.sh/docs/, not memory, and link the exact page behind every claim.

Route core Kubernetes resources, kubectl or cluster administration to kubernetes-docs, Docker image builds or Compose files to docker-docs, and Terraform Helm provider configuration to terraform-docs. Argo CD, Flux and other GitOps tools belong to their own docs unless the question turns on Helm chart behavior.

Workflow

1. Locate the question in references/topic-map.md, a selective index of docs entry points. Done when each part of the question maps to a section of the map, or you have noted that none fits.
2. Search helm.sh/docs with the user's exact terms plus Helm vocabulary such as helm upgrade, values.yaml, chart hooks, helm template, OCI, or Artifact Hub, starting from the map's pages and the Routing rules below. Done when you hold the one page that most directly answers each part.
3. Read each page down to the relevant section. Done when you have read the passage behind every claim you will make. When a page has moved, been renamed, or stops short, say so and link the nearest authoritative pages.
4. Answer with the direct answer first, each docs link beside the claim it supports, and Helm commands or chart snippets only when the user asks or the page needs them. Mark any conclusion that joins several pages as Inference:. Done when every claim cites a specific page, not the docs home.
