cicd-setup

cicd-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,592 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cicd-setup, MIT.

A guide for setting up automated checks and deployments in a software project. CI means checking code automatically when changes are made; CD means automating delivery to environments such as testing or production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines, add tests, automate deployments, and improve build speed. It detects project details from files such as package manifests, lockfiles, and test or build scripts.
Why use it?
It replaces copied or unreliable pipeline files with steps based on the project's actual language, framework, scripts, and deployment target. It also helps find slow builds and mismatched pipeline stages.

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-setup 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 11d 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 Setup

When to Use

  • Setting up CI for a new project from scratch
  • Replacing unreliable copied pipeline configurations that do not match the actual stack
  • Transitioning between GitHub Actions and GitLab CI platforms
  • Reviewing whether pipeline stages align with actual project tooling
  • Optimizing slow builds (caching, parallelism, conditional steps)
  • Establishing a stable CI foundation before adding specialized hardening

Context Required

From startup-context: tech stack, deployment target, team size. Also detect or ask:

  • Language and framework (auto-detect from repo files before asking)
  • Deployment target (Vercel, AWS, GCP, Fly.io, etc.)
  • CI/CD platform (default: GitHub Actions; also supports GitLab CI)
  • Environments (dev, staging, production) and existing test coverage
  • Secrets and credentials needed for build or deploy

Workflow

  1. Detect stack from repo signals — Scan for lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, poetry.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock), language manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod), and script definitions (test, lint, build commands). Lockfiles indicate package manager choice. Absent scripts trigger conservative defaults. Never assume Node for a Python project.
  2. Choose pipeline stages — Start with a dependable baseline: checkout, runtime setup, dependency install with caching, then sequential lint, test, build. Only add complexity after the baseline works.
  3. Generate pipeline config — Write CI config for the detected platform. Output machine-readable YAML with correct caching strategy for the detected package manager. Verify all referenced commands actually exist in the project.
  4. Configure secrets — List required secrets and how to add them. Use platform-managed secret stores. Recommend OIDC for cloud auth over long-lived keys. Never hardcode credentials in YAML.
  5. Add deployment stages safely — Begin CI-only (lint/test/build). Add staging deployment with explicit environment info. Add production deployment with manual approval. Maintain transparency in rollout and rollback procedures.
  6. Validate before merge — Confirm generated YAML is syntactically valid, all commands exist in the project, caching aligns with the package manager, and branch protections match organizational requirements.
  7. Deliver config and instructions — Full config file plus setup steps.
