ci-cd

ci-cd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building CI/CD pipelines, which automatically check code and deliver it to an environment. It covers testing, caching, deployment methods, secrets, and cloud authentication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up or repair pipelines, run checks in parallel, manage deployment credentials, handle flaky tests, and introduce rolling, canary, or blue-green releases.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems earlier, reduce slow or unreliable builds, and make deployments observable and reversible.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is - run: ./scripts/deploy.sh --canary 10 --abort-on-error-rate 1.0.

Good fit Use it to set up or repair pipelines, run checks in parallel, manage deployment credentials, handle flaky tests, and introduce rolling, canary, or blue-green releases.

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.

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 8d 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

Purpose

Build a pipeline that catches problems before production and is fast enough that engineers do not learn to ignore it. A twenty-minute CI run is a pipeline people bypass.

When to Use

  • Setting up CI/CD for a new project.
  • A pipeline that is slow, flaky, or routinely skipped.
  • Introducing a safer deployment strategy.
  • Managing secrets and deployment credentials.

Capabilities

  • Pipeline structure: what runs on every commit, what runs on merge, what runs on release.
  • Caching and parallelization to cut wall-clock time.
  • Deployment strategies: blue/green, canary, rolling, feature flags.
  • Secrets management and OIDC-based cloud authentication.
  • Flaky-test detection and quarantine.

Inputs

  • The repository, its test suite, and current pipeline timings.
  • The deployment target and its rollback capability.
  • Compliance requirements: approvals, audit trail, signed artifacts.

Outputs

  • A pipeline with a fast feedback stage and a thorough merge stage.
  • Deployments that are observable and reversible.
  • No long-lived cloud credentials in CI.

Workflow

  1. Split fast from thorough — Lint, type-check, and unit tests on every push, in under five minutes. Integration, E2E, and security scans on the merge queue or on main.
  2. Cache the right things — Dependencies, build artifacts, and Docker layers. A cache keyed on the lockfile hash is correct; one keyed on the branch is a source of stale-build mysteries.
  3. Parallelize the test suite — Shard by timing, not alphabetically. The slowest shard determines the wall clock.
  4. Deploy progressively — Canary to a small percentage, watch the error rate and latency, then proceed. Automate the abort.
  5. Authenticate with OIDC — Short-lived tokens federated from the CI provider to the cloud. A long-lived access key in CI secrets is a breach waiting to be exfiltrated by a malicious dependency.
  6. Track flakes — A test that fails 2% of the time will train the team to re-run the pipeline reflexively, at which point CI has stopped working.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (26 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,231 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
