Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00104 | $0.02904 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.01452 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00581 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00290 |
Grade A, and why
unified-cicd-platform 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
One CI/CD Platform for Everything, or Pay the Tax Forever
Running CircleCI for application builds, GitLab CI for infrastructure pipelines, and GitHub Actions for deployments is an operational tax that compounds daily. Every platform has different YAML syntax, different secrets management, different caching mechanisms, different debugging workflows, and different monitoring dashboards. Engineers carry three mental models instead of one. During incidents -- when context-switching costs are highest -- crossing platform boundaries wastes critical minutes. A deployment failed. Which platform ran it? Where are the logs? How do you re-trigger it? The answer changes depending on which system was responsible.
This is not a theoretical concern. Teams that have lived through multi-platform CI/CD report the same pattern: initial adoption is easy (each tool does its job), but maintenance becomes a death spiral. Secret rotation requires updating three platforms. A new engineer must learn three systems. Pipeline debugging requires three browser tabs with three different log viewers. The consolidation from three providers to one is consistently described as one of the highest-impact operational improvements a team can make.
The Cost of Multi-Platform CI/CD
| Dimension | Single Platform | Multiple Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax to learn | One YAML dialect | 2-3 incompatible dialects |
| Secrets management | One secrets store | Secrets duplicated across platforms, rotation requires N updates |
| Debugging | One log viewer, one interface | Context-switch between platforms to trace a deployment |
| Monitoring | One dashboard for all pipelines | Separate monitoring per platform, gaps between them |
| OIDC setup | One trust relationship per cloud account | One trust relationship per platform per account |
| Onboarding | "Here is how our CI/CD works" | "It depends on which repo and which kind of pipeline" |
| Incident response | One place to check | "Which platform ran the failing deployment?" |
| Runner management | One pool of runners | Separate runner infrastructure per platform |
| Cost visibility | One bill | Multiple vendor bills, hard to compare |
| Migration effort | Already consolidated | Every consolidation is a multi-week project |
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

unified-cicd-platform is a skill published in the GitHub repository oborchers/fractional-cto (30 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 2,904 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
