CI/CD Pipeline Design

CI/CD Pipeline Design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from niels-emmer/myace. It costs 24 tokens per session (284 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design checklist for continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, which automatically build, test and release software. It covers separate stages, dependency caching, runtime secrets, reusable build artifacts, approval gates, notifications and rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review CI/CD pipelines, define stage dependencies and gates, configure safe caching and secret injection, promote the same artifact between environments, and plan production rollback.
Why use it?
It helps teams make releases easier to verify and recover from while avoiding unnecessary rebuilds and unsafe secret handling. It also makes failures and ownership clearer.

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 Pipeline Design 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Design pipelines that are safe, fast, and auditable.

Checklist

  • Stage isolation: each stage (build, test, deploy) runs independently; failure in one doesn't cascade.
  • Caching: dependency caches are content-addressed and invalidated on lockfile changes.
  • Secret injection: secrets come from a secrets manager at runtime, not from repo variables or baked-in.
  • Artifact promotion: same binary/image promoted through environments — never rebuild for staging/prod.
  • Rollback: production rollback is a one-click or one-command operation, tested regularly.
  • Gate conditions: each environment requires the previous stage's tests to pass before proceeding.
  • Notifications: pipeline failures notify the owning team with relevant context (commit, stage, logs).

Expected output

A pipeline definition where each stage is independently verifiable, artifacts are immutable, and production rollback is faster than fix-forward.

Changes

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.

CI/CD Pipeline Design is a skill published in the GitHub repository niels-emmer/myace (1 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 284 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
