Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00103 | $0.05309 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.02655 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00531 |
Grade A, and why
cicd-pipeline-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

CI/CD Pipeline Patterns
Overview
Slow pipelines block delivery, misconfigured secrets become attack vectors, and poorly designed deployment strategies cause downtime. Use this guide when designing, reviewing, or improving CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and general pipeline tooling.
When to use: Designing a new pipeline from scratch; reviewing an existing pipeline for speed or reliability; evaluating deployment strategies for a release; hardening supply chain security; investigating flaky builds or slow test suites.
Quick Reference
| Pattern | Core Idea | Primary Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Pipeline Design | Stages, jobs, fan-out/fan-in with explicit dependencies | All jobs sequential, one massive job doing everything |
| GitOps / IaC | Git is the single source of truth for infra and config | Manual kubectl apply, config drift between environments |
| Build Optimization | Cache dependencies, reuse artifacts, skip unchanged work | npm install from scratch on every run, no layer caching |
| Blue-Green Deployment | Two identical envs; route traffic atomically | Deploy in place with downtime, no rollback path |
| Canary Deployment | Gradually shift traffic to new version | All-or-nothing deploy with no traffic splitting |
| Rolling Update | Replace instances incrementally, keep service alive | Recreate all pods at once, causing downtime |
| SLSA / SBOM | Provenance and software bill of materials for supply chain | No artifact signing, no dependency audit |
| Shift-Left Testing | Run tests as early and often as possible | Integration tests only, no unit tests in pipeline |
| Flaky Test Management | Quarantine and track unstable tests, never ignore them | Retrying flaky tests silently, masking real failures |
| Rollback & DR | Automated rollback triggers, tested recovery procedures | Manual rollback, untested restore procedures |

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.

cicd-pipeline-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository mickeyyaya/refactoring-skills (6 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 5,309 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
