google-cicd-release-orchestration

google-cicd-release-orchestration is a skill for Claude Code from gemini-cli-extensions/cicd. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,447 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for Google Cloud Deploy, a service that manages releasing applications to environments such as Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine. It covers delivery pipelines, release management, deployment strategies, and rollbacks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or manage Cloud Deploy pipelines, release applications to Cloud Run or GKE, use strategies such as canary releases, and roll back deployments.
Why use it?
It helps plan deployments across multiple environments and manage failed releases without guessing at required settings. It also requires the Google Cloud Deploy service to be enabled and asks for concrete project details before creating configuration.

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

google-cicd-release-orchestration 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.

Cloud Deploy Pipelines

Overview

This skill encompasses the entire lifecycle of Cloud Deploy for a user, from designing and creating delivery pipelines to managing releases and debugging release failures.

All Workflows require the clouddeploy.googleapis.com API to be enabled.

Workflow: Designing a Pipeline

This workflow provides steps for designing a Cloud Deploy DeliveryPipeline.

Constraints & Rules

  1. NO PLACEHOLDERS: Never generate YAML with placeholders like <PROJECT_ID>. Ask the user for values first.
  2. Context First: Always check existing files and conversation context before asking.
  3. Step-by-Step: Perform the steps one at a time. The goal is to guide the user through designing a delivery pipeline.

Step 0: Prerequisites

Required Context: Before generating ANY configuration for this workflow, you MUST have the following values. Ask the user strictly for any missing information:

  • Project ID: The Google Cloud project ID for the Cloud Deploy resources.
  • Region: The region for the Cloud Deploy resources (e.g., us-central1).
  • Application Name: The name of the application that will be deployed. Use the application name to generate the names of the Cloud Deploy resources, such as DeliveryPipeline and Target resources.
  • Runtime: Either Cloud Run or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
    • If Cloud Run: The Cloud Run project and location.
    • If GKE: The GKE cluster name.

Step 1: Define the target environments

  1. Identify the number of deployment environments (e.g., dev, staging, production).
  2. Identify if promotions should require user approval.
  3. Define each of the deployment environments as Cloud Deploy Target resources in a clouddeploy.yaml file.
    • Use references/configure-targets.md as a reference when generating the resource YAML.
    • Always prefix target IDs with the application name provided by the user (e.g., [app-name]-[env]) to prevent resource name collisions when multiple applications are deployed to different environments. For example, if the user wants to deploy an application named "hello-world" to test and prod environments, then use "hello-world-test" and "hello-world-prod" as the Target IDs.
