cli-forge-pipeline

cli-forge-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from Destynova2/cli-code-skills. It costs 187 tokens per session (2,840 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for improving continuous integration and delivery pipelines, the automated steps that build, test, and release software. It uses patterns inspired by how organisms divide work, choose routes, run tasks in parallel, and recover from failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or improve pipelines in GitHub or GitLab, including change-based runs, caching, parallel jobs, temporary runners, and fault-tolerant routing.
Why use it?
It helps identify slow, wasteful, or fragile pipeline steps and organize work so changes can be tested and delivered more efficiently.

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

cli-forge-pipeline 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 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.

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 — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Optimization: This skill uses on-demand loading. Heavy content lives in references/ and is loaded only when needed.

Language rule: Skill instructions are written in English. When generating user-facing output (reports, files, documentation), detect the project's primary language (from README, comments, docs, commit messages) and produce the output in that language. If the project is bilingual, ask the user which language to use before proceeding.

CI Pipeline Optimizer — Biomimetic

"The leafcutter ant colony has no project manager. Yet it optimally relocates 15% of all tropical vegetation."

The 9 biological models → CI patterns

Read references/patterns.md for detailed explanations, biology, and dual GitLab/GitHub examples.

# Organism CI Pattern Key principle
1 Leafcutter ants (Atta) Stage Specialization + Artifact Cache Each job = one role. Artifacts = stigmergy
2 Slime mold (Physarum) Change-Driven Path Selection + Cache Reinforcement Only rerun what changed. Content-hashed cache
3 Army ants (Eciton) Fan-out / Fan-in + Ephemeral Runners Maximum parallelism, disposable runners
4 Honeybees (Apis) Autoscaling + Priority-based Runner Tagging Resources proportional to load
5 Mycelium Multi-Registry Fallback + Distributed Cache Zero SPOF, waterfall cache
6 Mitosis Workflow Fission Pipeline too big → split into independent workflows (S/M/L/XL semantics canonical in ../shared/tiering.md)
7 Immune system (VDJ) Combinatorial Fuzzing + Property-Based Testing Explore the input space, not just the known cases
8 Fungal spores Full Combinatorial Matrix OS × arch × version × features, fail-fast: false
9 Tardigrade Chaos Engineering / Fault Injection Inject failures to prove survival

Workflow for analyzing an existing pipeline

Step 1 — Map the real DAG

Draw the actual dependencies. Identify sequential jobs that could run in parallel. Compute the critical path.

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.
