nw-cicd-and-deployment

nw-cicd-and-deployment is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,495 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing CI/CD pipelines, which automatically check, build, and release software, along with deployment and branch strategies. It also describes local checks that developers can run before commits and pushes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan GitHub Actions or similar pipelines, choose pre-commit and pre-push checks, structure releases and branches, and define deployment workflows.
Why use it?
It helps teams catch formatting, test, integration, and security problems earlier while keeping local checks aligned with the remote pipeline.

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

nw-cicd-and-deployment 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 Pipeline Design and Deployment Strategies

Local Quality Gates

Catch issues at the developer's machine before they reach CI. Local gates mirror the remote commit stage for fast feedback (seconds vs minutes).

Gate Taxonomy

Gate Trigger Checks Tools
Pre-commit git commit Formatting, linting, unit tests, secrets scan pre-commit, husky, lefthook
Pre-push git push Integration tests, acceptance tests, coverage threshold pre-commit (push stage), git hooks
Local CI Manual Full pipeline locally act (GitHub Actions), gitlab-runner exec

Design Principles

  • Mirror, not duplicate: local gates run the same checks as the remote commit stage, not additional ones. Keeps developer experience consistent with CI.
  • Fast by default: pre-commit gates target < 30 seconds. Move slow checks (integration, acceptance) to pre-push.
  • Escapable with audit trail: allow --no-verify for emergencies but log skips. CI remains the authoritative gate.
  • Framework selection: prefer pre-commit (Python ecosystem) or lefthook (polyglot, fast parallel execution) over raw git hooks. Husky for JS/TS-heavy projects.

Hook Stage Assignment

pre-commit (< 30s):     formatting | linting | unit tests (fast subset) | secrets scan
pre-push   (< 5 min):   full unit suite | integration tests | coverage check | type checking

Pipeline Stages

Commit Stage (target: < 10 minutes)

Compile/build | Run unit tests (fast, isolated) | Static code analysis (linting, formatting) | Security scanning (SAST, secrets detection) | Generate build artifacts. Quality gates: build success | 100% unit test pass rate | coverage threshold (e.g., > 80%) | no critical vulnerabilities | no secrets in code.

Acceptance Stage (target: < 30 minutes)

Deploy to test environment | Run acceptance/integration/contract tests | Security scanning (DAST). Quality gates: 100% acceptance/integration pass rate | no high/critical security findings | API contracts validated.

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.
