gitlab-ci-docs

gitlab-ci-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cookieMonsterDev/agents-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,216 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for GitLab CI/CD, GitLab's system for automatically testing, building, and deploying software through pipeline configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find guidance on .gitlab-ci.yml files, stages, jobs, runners, variables, artifacts, caches, environments, deployments, reusable components, child pipelines, security, and troubleshooting.
Why use it?
It helps answer pipeline questions using GitLab's documented syntax and behavior instead of applying assumptions from GitHub Actions or another CI system.

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-docs 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 3d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitLab CI/CD questions are easy to answer from stale memory or GitHub Actions assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in official GitLab documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic CI/CD advice.

When to Use

Use this skill when the request is about:

  • GitLab CI/CD concepts, terminology, or product boundaries
  • .gitlab-ci.yml syntax, stages, jobs, rules, needs, extends, include, or workflow keywords
  • GitLab-hosted runners, self-managed runners, project runners, or runner configuration
  • CI/CD variables, predefined variables, inputs, expressions, or pipeline-level configuration
  • Artifacts, caches, reports, dependencies, and job outputs
  • Environments, deployments, review apps, and deployment tiers
  • CI/CD components, the CI/CD Catalog, reusable pipeline configuration, or include:component
  • Parent-child pipelines, multi-project pipelines, merge request pipelines, merge trains, or pipeline schedules
  • Pipeline security, secrets management, external secrets, masked/protected variables, or ID tokens
  • Migrating to or from GitLab CI/CD, or comparing GitLab CI/CD with other CI systems
  • Troubleshooting pipeline behavior when the user needs documentation, syntax guidance, or official references

Do not use this skill for:

  • GitHub Actions workflows, runners, or YAML. Use github-actions-docs.
  • GitLab repository, merge request, or project administration unrelated to CI/CD. Search GitLab docs outside the CI/CD section.
  • A specific failing pipeline log or CI failure triage in this repository when another skill such as gh-fix-ci is the sharper fit for GitHub-hosted checks.

Workflow

1. Classify the request

Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:

  • Getting started, tutorials, and pipeline concepts
  • YAML syntax and pipeline configuration
  • Runners and execution environment
  • Variables, inputs, and expressions
  • Artifacts, caches, and job dependencies
  • Environments and deployments
  • CI/CD components and reusable configuration
  • Security, secrets, and pipeline hardening
  • Advanced pipeline types and orchestration
  • Monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting

Changes

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.
