ci-cd-and-automation

ci-cd-and-automation is a skill for Claude Code from peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins. It costs 105 tokens per session (5,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for automating checks and releases for .NET and C# projects. CI/CD means automatically testing, building, and deploying code whenever changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps pipelines, run quality checks, handle EF Core migrations, create preview deployments, publish NuGet packages, and manage staged releases or rollbacks.
Why use it?
It prevents changes with failing tests, formatting problems, build warnings, or known vulnerable packages from moving forward unnoticed.

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-and-automation 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 2mo 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 and Automation

Overview

Automate quality gates so that no change reaches production without passing tests, formatting, build-with-warnings-as-errors, and vulnerability checks. CI/CD is the enforcement mechanism for every other skill — it catches what humans and agents miss, and it does so consistently on every single change.

Shift Left: Catch problems as early in the pipeline as possible. An analyzer diagnostic caught at dotnet build -warnaserror time costs seconds; the same bug caught in production costs hours. Move checks upstream — static analysis before tests, tests before staging, staging before production.

Faster is Safer: Smaller batches and more frequent releases reduce risk, not increase it. A deployment with 3 changes is easier to debug than one with 30. Frequent releases build confidence in the release process itself.

When to Use

  • Setting up a new .NET project's CI pipeline
  • Adding or modifying automated checks
  • Configuring deployment pipelines (Azure App Service, Container Apps, AKS, self-hosted)
  • Publishing a NuGet package
  • When a change should trigger automated verification
  • Debugging CI failures

The Quality Gate Pipeline

Every change goes through these gates before merge:

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.
