ci-cd

ci-cd is a skill for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 27 tokens per session (510 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating a CI/CD pipeline. CI automatically checks code changes, while CD prepares or delivers them through environments such as development, staging, and production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure automated checks, dependency caching, secret storage, quality gates, environment promotion, production approval, rollback, and smoke tests.
Why use it?
It catches formatting, type, test, build, and security problems before release and makes deployments more consistent. It also defines approvals, rollback triggers, and post-deployment checks.

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

ci-cd 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Set Up CI/CD Pipeline

Trigger

When the user needs to set up or modify CI/CD pipelines.

Steps

Step 1: Define Pipeline Stages

  • Lint and format check
  • Type check: {{CONFIG.testing.typeCheckCommand}}
  • Unit tests: {{CONFIG.testing.testCommand}}
  • Build
  • Integration tests
  • Security scan
  • Deploy

Step 2: Create Pipeline Configuration

  • Create workflow file (.github/workflows/ci.yml for GitHub Actions)
  • Define trigger events (push, PR, schedule)
  • Configure job runners and environments
  • Set up caching for dependencies

Step 3: Configure Secrets

  • List required secrets
  • Add to CI/CD secrets store (never in code)
  • Document required secrets in README

Step 4: Add Quality Gates

  • Tests must pass (0 failures)
  • Coverage ≥ {{CONFIG.testing.coverageMinimum}}%
  • No type errors
  • No critical security vulnerabilities
  • Build succeeds

Step 5: Set Up Deployment

  • Configure environment promotion (dev → staging → prod)
  • Add manual approval for production
  • Configure rollback triggers
  • Set up smoke tests post-deployment

Step 6: Test Pipeline

  • Trigger on a test branch
  • Verify all stages complete
  • Verify failure handling (intentionally break a stage)
  • Verify notifications work

If a step fails

Step Failure Recovery
Step 4 Quality gate blocks pipeline Fix failing tests, coverage, or type errors locally; do not lower thresholds to pass
Step 5 Deploy stage fails Check secrets and env vars; verify target environment is reachable; rollback if prod deploy partially applied
Step 6 Pipeline fails on test trigger Fix the broken stage; verify failure handling works (pipeline should fail fast, not deploy on failure)

Never remove manual approval for production. Never deploy on failure.

Completion

CI/CD pipeline is running, tested, and documented.

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.
