cicd-playbook

cicd-playbook is a skill for Claude Code from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,754 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation tool for explaining how a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline builds, tests, and deploys a service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document build and test stages, deployment rules, release checks, environments, and what engineers should do when a pipeline fails.
Why use it?
Deployment processes can be unclear when knowledge is spread across scripts, tools, and team habits. It records the stages, environments, approval gates, ownership, and recovery steps.

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-playbook 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 8d 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.

CI/CD Playbook Skill

Produce a complete, actionable CI/CD playbook for a service or team — covering everything a new engineer needs to understand, contribute to, and operate the pipeline safely.

A good playbook is not a diagram. It is a document that answers: what runs, when, why, who owns it, and what to do when it breaks.

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not already provided:

  • Service name and brief description
  • Tech stack — language, framework, containerisation (Docker, etc.)
  • Source control — GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket, branching strategy
  • CI platform — GitHub Actions / CircleCI / Jenkins / BuildKite / other
  • CD platform / deployment target — Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, Heroku, VMs, etc.
  • Environments — e.g. dev, staging, production (and any canary / feature environments)
  • Deployment frequency — how often does the team ship?
  • Any existing gates — manual approvals, smoke tests, feature flags
  • On-call setup — who's responsible during deploys?

Output Format


CI/CD Playbook: [Service Name]

Service: [Name] | Team: [Team name] Last updated: [Date] | Owner: [Name / role] Pipeline platform: [CI tool] → [CD tool / platform]


Overview

[2–3 sentences describing what this service does and why the CI/CD pipeline is structured the way it is. Include the deployment target and how frequently the team ships.]

Deployment frequency: [Multiple times per day / Daily / Weekly / On-demand] Average pipeline duration: [X minutes] Rollback time (p95): [X minutes]

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.
