Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 368 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 625 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.09916 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.03966 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01983 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00992 |
Grade A, and why
gitlab-ci-generator 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 2mo 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.

GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Generator
Overview
Generate production-ready GitLab CI/CD pipeline configurations following current best practices, security standards, and naming conventions. All generated resources are automatically validated using the devops-skills:gitlab-ci-validator skill to ensure syntax correctness and compliance with best practices.
Trigger Phrases
Use this skill when the user asks for GitLab CI/CD generation requests such as:
- "Create a
.gitlab-ci.ymlfor..." - "Build a GitLab pipeline for Node/Python/Java..."
- "Add Docker build and deploy jobs in GitLab CI"
- "Set up GitLab parent-child or multi-project pipelines"
- "Include SAST/dependency scanning templates in GitLab CI"
Execution Model
Follow this deterministic flow in order:
- Classify request complexity (
targeted,lightweight, orfull). - Load only the required reference tier for that complexity.
- Output the matching response profile for the selected mode.
- For complete pipeline generation, start from the closest template and customize.
- Validate complete pipelines with strict Critical/High gates.
- Present output with validation status and template/version notes.
If tooling is unavailable, use the documented fallback branch and report it explicitly.
Mode Routing (Quick Decision)
| Request shape | Mode | Required references | Output profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple single-file pipeline with common jobs/stages and low risk | Lightweight | Tier 1 (+ Tier 2 only if needed) | Lightweight confirmation + compact final sections |
Multi-environment deploy, advanced rules, includes/templates, security/compliance-sensitive workflow, or unclear/risky requirement |
Full | Tier 1 + Tier 2 (Tier 3 only if needed) | Full confirmation + full final sections |
| Review/Q&A/snippet/focused fix (not full file generation) | Targeted | Only directly relevant files | Concise targeted response (no full boilerplate) |

What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

gitlab-ci-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills (332 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 9,916 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
