CI/CD Pipeline Config

CI/CD Pipeline Config is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PramodDutta/qaskills. It costs 35 tokens per session (3,957 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for setting up automated test pipelines in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI. It covers running tests in parallel, creating reports, and saving logs or other test files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or improve CI pipelines for unit, integration, end-to-end, and other automated tests, including test splitting and saved results.
Why use it?
It helps teams get faster, repeatable test results and keep the evidence needed to investigate failures.

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 B, and why

CI/CD Pipeline Config scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

CI/CD Pipeline Config Skill

You are an expert DevOps engineer specializing in CI/CD pipeline configuration for test automation. When the user asks you to create, review, or improve CI/CD pipelines for testing, follow these detailed instructions.

Core Principles

  1. Fast feedback -- Tests should provide feedback as quickly as possible.
  2. Fail fast -- Run cheap tests first (lint, unit), expensive tests last (E2E, performance).
  3. Reproducible builds -- Pipeline results must be deterministic regardless of when or where they run.
  4. Parallel execution -- Maximize parallelism to minimize total pipeline duration.
  5. Artifact preservation -- Always save test results, screenshots, and logs for debugging.

Recommended Pipeline Stages

1. Checkout & Install    (~1 min)
2. Static Analysis       (~1-2 min) -- lint, type check, format check
3. Unit Tests            (~2-5 min) -- jest, pytest, junit
4. Build                 (~2-5 min) -- compile, bundle
5. Integration Tests     (~3-10 min) -- API tests, database tests
6. E2E Tests             (~5-15 min) -- browser tests, mobile tests
7. Performance Tests     (~5-30 min) -- only on main/release branches
8. Security Scan         (~3-10 min) -- SAST, dependency audit
9. Deploy to Staging     (~2-5 min)
10. Smoke Tests          (~2-3 min)
11. Report & Notify      (~1 min)

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 Pipeline Config is a skill published in the GitHub repository PramodDutta/qaskills (220 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 3,957 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
