cicd

cicd is a skill for Claude Code from arbazkhan971/godmode. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing automated build, test, and release pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Jenkins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or improve CI/CD configuration, add deployment stages, manage build files, cache dependencies, store build outputs, and run tests across multiple environments.
Why use it?
It helps remove manual release steps and gives a structured way to investigate slow or failing pipelines.

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 Tool Misuse · line 238
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 276
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

cicd 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 7d 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.

CICD — CI/CD Pipeline Design

Activate When

  • User invokes /godmode:cicd
  • User says "create pipeline", "ci/cd pipeline", "ci cd pipeline", "set up CI/CD", "add GitHub Actions"
  • User says "optimize CI", "pipeline is slow", "fix failing pipeline", "build pipeline tuning", "release pipeline"
  • User says "add deployment stage", "set up matrix builds"
  • Project has no CI/CD configuration
  • Shipping workflow requires automated pipeline
  • Pipeline performance needs improvement

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Pipeline Context

Identify the project's CI/CD requirements and existing configuration:

PIPELINE CONTEXT:
  Platform: <GitHub Actions | GitLab CI | CircleCI |
  Jenkins | None detected>
  Language: <detected language/framework>
  Package Manager: <npm | pip | go mod | maven | etc.>
  Test Framework: <jest | pytest | go test | junit | etc.>
  Linter: <eslint | ruff | golangci-lint | etc.>
  Container: <Dockerfile present? Y/N>
  Deploy Target: <K8s | ECS | Lambda | Vercel | etc.>
  Existing Pipeline: <path to config or "none">
  Branch Strategy: <trunk-based | gitflow | github flow>

If no pipeline exists: "No CI/CD configuration found. Shall I create one? Specify your preferred platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins)."

Step 2: Pipeline Architecture Design

Design the pipeline stages based on project needs:

PIPELINE ARCHITECTURE:

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.
