 ## What Gets Validated
 
 ### Always (if k8s/ directory exists):
+
 - Kubernetes manifest validation using `kubectl --dry-run`
 - Namespace extraction from repository name
 - Basic Kubernetes syntax and schema validation
 
 ### Conditionally (if helmfile.yaml exists and Helm validation not skipped):
+
 - Helm chart validation using `helmfile diff`
 - Kubernetes manifests in Helm context
 - Helm-specific configurations and values

+## Available Actions
+
+### Extract Chart Name from Repository Name
+
+The `extract-chart-name-from-repo-name` action extracts the chart name from repository names following the `helm-<chart-name>` convention.
+
+#### Usage
+
+```yaml
+- name: Extract chart name
+  uses: ./.gitea/actions/extract-chart-name-from-repo-name
+  with:
+    repo: ${{ github.repository_name }} # e.g., "helm-my-service"
+```
+
+#### Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Description                                      | Required |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
+| `repo`    | The full repository name (e.g., "helm-my-chart") | Yes      |
+
+#### Outputs
+
+| Output       | Description                                                      |
+| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `chart-name` | The extracted chart name (e.g., "my-chart" from "helm-my-chart") |
+
+#### Example
+
+For a repository named `helm-user-service`, this action will extract `user-service` as the chart name.
+
 ## Dependencies
 
 This workflow requires:
+
 - `./.gitea/actions/extract-namespace-from-repo-name` action
+- `./.gitea/actions/extract-chart-name-from-repo-name` action
 - `KUBECONFIG` secret configured in your repository
 - Access to your Kubernetes cluster
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Helm validation skipped unexpectedly
+
 - Check if `helmfile.yaml` exists in the expected location
 - Verify the `skip_helm_validation` parameter is not set to `true`
 - Ensure the file path is correct if using custom paths
 
 ### Kubernetes validation skipped
+
 - Verify the `k8s/` directory (or custom path) exists
 - Check the directory contains valid Kubernetes manifests
 
 ### Permission issues
+
 - Ensure the `KUBECONFIG` secret is properly configured
 - Verify the workflow has access to your Kubernetes cluster
