ci-cd

ci-cd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from srstomp/pokayokay. It costs 57 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines: automated steps that check, build, and deploy code. It covers services such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket Pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review pipelines, configure secrets, cache dependencies, run parallel jobs, and plan rolling, canary, or blue-green deployments.
Why use it?
It helps make automated delivery safer, more reliable, faster, and easier to maintain.

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 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-workflow.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CI/CD Expert

Create, debug, and optimize CI/CD pipelines across platforms.

Platform Selection

Platform Best For Key Strength
GitHub Actions GitHub repos, open source Marketplace, native integration
GitLab CI GitLab repos, self-hosted Built-in registry, Auto DevOps
CircleCI Complex workflows, speed Parallelism, orbs
Azure DevOps Microsoft/enterprise Azure integration, YAML templates
Bitbucket Atlassian stack Jira integration, pipes

Key Principles

  • Security first: Never expose secrets in logs, use environment-specific secrets
  • Reliability: Idempotent steps, deterministic builds, pinned dependency versions
  • Efficiency: Cache aggressively, parallelize independent jobs, skip unchanged paths
  • Maintainability: DRY with reusable workflows/templates, clear naming

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Choose platform based on repository hosting
  2. Create pipeline with lint → test → build → deploy stages
  3. Configure secrets and environment variables
  4. Set up caching for dependencies and build artifacts
  5. Add deployment strategy (blue-green recommended for production)
  6. Review security checklist before going live

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.
