trigger-postsubmit

A command that starts a postsubmit Gangway job after code has been merged. Postsubmit jobs are automated checks that run after a change enters a repository, while Gangway is the service used to start those jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger a named job for a repository by supplying its organization, branch, commit hash, and optional environment-variable overrides.
Why use it?
It avoids manually constructing the API request and ensures the job receives the repository branch and commit information it needs.

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

trigger-postsubmit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Synopsis

/trigger-postsubmit <job-name> <org> <repo> <base-ref> <base-sha> [ENV_VAR=value ...]

Description

The trigger-postsubmit command triggers a postsubmit gangway job via the REST API. Postsubmit jobs run after code is merged and require repository reference information.

The command accepts:

  • Job name (required)
  • Organization (required, e.g., "openshift")
  • Repository name (required, e.g., "assisted-installer")
  • Base ref/branch (required, e.g., "release-4.12")
  • Base SHA/commit hash (required)
  • Environment variable overrides (optional, additional arguments in KEY=VALUE format)

It constructs the necessary JSON payload with refs structure and executes the curl command to trigger the job via the gangway REST API.

Security

IMPORTANT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

Claude is granted LIMITED and SPECIFIC access to the app.ci cluster token for the following AUTHORIZED operations ONLY:

  • READ operations: Checking authentication status (oc whoami)
  • TRIGGERING jobs: POST requests to the gangway API to trigger jobs

Claude is EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED from:

  • Modifying cluster resources (deployments, pods, services, etc.)
  • Deleting or altering existing jobs or executions
  • Accessing secrets, configmaps, or sensitive data
  • Making any cluster modifications beyond job triggering
  • Using the token for any purpose other than the specific operations listed above

MANDATORY USER CONFIRMATION: Before executing ANY POST operation (job trigger), Claude MUST:

  1. Display the complete payload that will be sent
  2. Show the exact curl command that will be executed
  3. Request explicit user confirmation with a clear "yes/no" prompt
  4. Only proceed after receiving affirmative confirmation

Token Usage: The app.ci cluster token is used solely for authentication with the gangway REST API. This token grants the same permissions as the authenticated user and must be handled with appropriate care. The curl_with_token.sh wrapper handles all authentication automatically.

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.
