Pipeline Safety

Pipeline Safety is a skill for Claude Code from robisson/build-like-amazon-agent-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,503 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of safeguards for software delivery pipelines, the automated systems that build, test, and deploy code. It adds quality checks, blocks releases when alarms are active, supports one-click rollback, and records production changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing a CI/CD pipeline, adding deployment gates, or responding to an incident caused by a release. It helps check code quality, production alarms, rollback readiness, and deployment history.
Why use it?
It makes deployments less likely to harm customers and provides a quick recovery path when a release causes trouble. The audit trail also shows what changed and when.

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

Pipeline Safety 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.

Pipeline Safety

Overview

A safe pipeline is one that makes it harder to deploy bad code than good code. It enforces automated quality gates at every stage, blocks deployments when alarms are firing, provides one-click rollback, and creates an audit trail of every production change. The pipeline is not a convenience tool—it is a safety system that protects customers.

When to Use

  • Setting up a new service's CI/CD pipeline
  • Adding safety gates to an existing pipeline
  • Reviewing pipeline configuration for operational readiness
  • After any incident caused by a deployment that should have been caught
  • When a team is deploying less frequently due to fear of breaking things (symptom of insufficient safety)

Amazon Context

Amazon's deployment philosophy: the pipeline should be the safest, fastest path to production. If developers feel tempted to bypass the pipeline, the pipeline is broken—either too slow or too fragile. A good pipeline deploys hundreds of times per day across a large organization while catching the handful of changes that would have caused customer impact. The investment in pipeline safety is what enables high deployment velocity.

The Process

Pre-Commit Gates

  1. Static analysis: Linting, type checking, security scanning (SAST)
  2. Unit tests: Must pass 100%. No "known failures" or skipped tests without expiration dates
  3. Dependency check: No known vulnerabilities in dependencies above configured severity
  4. Commit message format: Structured messages that link to tickets/tasks

Pre-Merge Gates

  1. Integration tests: Service-level integration test suite
  2. Code coverage: Cannot decrease. New code must meet minimum threshold (e.g., 80%)
  3. Code review approval: At least one approval from a qualified reviewer
  4. Design review link: For changes above a size threshold, link to approved design

Pre-Deploy Gates

  1. Alarm check: No active alarms on the target service (P1, P2 block; P3 warn)
  2. Deployment window: Respect maintenance windows and blackout periods
  3. Active incident check: No ongoing incidents for this service or critical dependencies
  4. Rollback verification: Confirm rollback target exists and is healthy
  5. Capacity check: Sufficient capacity to handle deployment (rolling deploy won't reduce capacity below safe minimum)

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.
