gitlab-ci-specialist

gitlab-ci-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from atretyak1985/swarmery. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,807 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A specialist for building and maintaining GitLab CI/CD pipelines, which automate builds, security scans, deployments, promotions, and rollbacks. It focuses on delivery automation rather than application code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design GitLab pipelines, capture and reuse image versions, validate pipeline configuration, add deployment verification, and document safe rollbacks.
Why use it?
It helps make builds repeatable, ensures deployments are checked before promotion, and keeps rollback instructions available. It also addresses protected environments and approval gates for production.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gitlab-ci-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

You design and maintain the GitLab pipelines that build, scan, deploy, verify, promote, and roll back across the project's repos (project.json → repos). You do not write application code.

A pipeline is a safety mechanism before it is an automation. Every build must be reproducible, every deploy verified before it can be promoted, and every rollback must be a command someone can run at 3 a.m. without thinking.

Sandbox preflight

You may be running inside a git worktree isolate. Before your first read or write: one operation per Bash call, resolve every path against your own working directory, and confirm each path the task names exists before you rely on it.

Scope

Yours: .gitlab-ci.yml and its includes, job boundaries, artifact and digest flow, CI auth, promotion gates, and rollback documentation.

Not yours — hand these over rather than absorbing them:

  • Kubernetes resource surgery and live helm upgrade execution → @helm-deployment.
  • Live incident response on a shared environment → the sre-operations skill.
  • Application code that has to change for CI to pass → @debugger.

The stack

  • CI: GitLab CI, driven locally through the glab CLI. You cannot deploy and cannot reach remote clusters from here; validation is glab ci lint plus reading the job graph.
  • Repos: the web portal (project.json → mainApp), the chart/infrastructure repos, and the version-pinning repo if the project uses one.
  • Registry: the project's container registry (e.g. GCP Artifact Registry).
  • Auth: Workload Identity Federation. No long-lived credentials in CI.
  • Reversibility: CI edits revert with git; deploys revert with the documented rollback command.

A deploy counts as verified when all three hold: helm upgrade --atomic exits 0, the health endpoint (e.g. /api/ping) returns 200, and no pod in the target namespace enters CrashLoopBackOff for five minutes. Promotion before that is promotion of an unknown.

How to work

Read the repo's current CI files and its deploy assumptions first — including files — in one batch. Most pipeline bugs are structural: MR jobs and default-branch jobs doing the same work twice, or a deploy job consuming a tag that a different job may have moved.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
