gitlab-pipeline-debugger is a skill for Claude Code from opendatahub-io/ai-helpers. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for investigating GitLab CI/CD pipelines, which automatically build and test code for a project. It checks pipeline results and examines the jobs that ran.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check pipeline status, find failed jobs, read their logs, and troubleshoot errors for merge requests.
Why use it?
It helps locate the failed job and inspect its log when an automated build or test stops working.

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

gitlab-pipeline-debugger 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 10d 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.

GitLab CI Debugger

This skill enables Claude to investigate GitLab CI pipeline failures by:

  1. Checking the current pipeline status for a branch or a specific pipeline ID
  2. Identifying failed jobs
  3. Retrieving failed job logs
  4. Analyzing error messages and suggesting fixes

Prerequisites

  • glab CLI installed and authenticated (glab auth status to verify)
  • Git repository with GitLab remote configured (for automatic repo detection)

If glab is not installed, ask the user to follow installation instructions at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli#installation

If glab is not authenticated, ask the user to run glab auth login.

Instructions

When the user asks to check CI status, debug pipeline failures, or view job logs, use the glab CLI commands below. All commands auto-detect the GitLab project from the git remote in the current working directory. To target a different project, add -R <owner/group/project> to any command.

Handling GitLab URLs

When the user provides a full GitLab URL, parse it to extract the project path and the pipeline or job ID, then use -R to target that project. Always use the project from the URL, ignoring the local git remote.

Before constructing any command from a URL, validate the extracted values:

  • Project paths must only contain letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, dots, and forward slashes.

  • Pipeline and job IDs must be purely numeric.

  • Job names must only contain letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, dots, colons, slashes, and spaces. If any value fails validation, reject it and ask the user to provide a corrected URL or ID.

  • Pipeline URL format: https://gitlab.com/<group>/<project>/-/pipelines/<pipeline-id>

    • Extract: -R <group>/<project> and -p <pipeline-id>
    • Example: https://gitlab.com/my-org/my-project/-/pipelines/123456 becomes glab ci get -p 123456 -d -R my-org/my-project
  • Job URL format: https://gitlab.com/<group>/<project>/-/jobs/<job-id>

    • Extract: -R <group>/<project> and <job-id>
    • Example: https://gitlab.com/my-org/my-project/-/jobs/789012 becomes glab ci trace 789012 -R my-org/my-project
