## What it is
A Visual Studio Code extension that provides IntelliSense for Helm templates by reading and evaluating the chart's values.yaml. It offers autocomplete for values paths, named templates, and Helm variables, plus lint commands to validate value usage.

## Use cases
- autocomplete helm template values in vscode
- lint helm templates for invalid .Values paths
- get intellisense for helm named templates
- validate helm chart values on save
- merge multiple helm value files for autocomplete

## When to choose
- you write Helm charts in VS Code and want values.yaml-aware autocomplete
- you want to catch invalid .Values references before deploying
- you use named templates (.tpl) and want completion for them

## When to avoid
- you don't use Helm or Kubernetes
- you need full Helm template rendering or linting outside VS Code (use helm CLI or kubeconform)
- you use a different editor without VS Code extension support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
