ci-cd-and-automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS. It costs 21 tokens per session (619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing CI/CD pipelines, the automated steps that check code, build software, and deploy it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan checks, tests, security scans, builds, staging deployments, end-to-end tests, and production release gates. It also covers parallel work and caching to shorten pipeline time.
Why use it?
It helps teams get quick feedback while preventing untested or insecure code from reaching later environments.

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 12d 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.

Overview

A slow CI pipeline is a productivity killer. A CI pipeline that lets bad code through is worse than no pipeline. This skill designs pipelines that are fast enough to not be skipped, and thorough enough to catch real problems.

When to Use

  • When setting up CI/CD for a new project
  • When the CI pipeline is slow (>10 minutes)
  • When CI is consistently failing for reasons unrelated to code quality
  • Before adding a new automated gate to CI

Process

Step 1: Define the pipeline stages

Standard stages:

  1. Fast checks (<2 min): lint, type check, compile
  2. Unit tests (<5 min): isolated, no network, no database
  3. Integration tests (<10 min): with real dependencies
  4. Security scan: dependency audit, SAST
  5. Build: Docker image, artifact
  6. Deploy to staging
  7. E2E tests against staging
  8. Deploy to production (gated by manual approval or automated checks)

Step 2: Optimize for speed

  • Run stages in parallel where possible
  • Cache aggressively: dependencies, build artifacts, Docker layers
  • Fail fast: put the fastest checks first
  • Target: full pipeline under 15 minutes

Step 3: Required gates before merge

Minimum required to merge a PR:

  • All tests pass
  • No new high/critical security vulnerabilities (dependency audit)
  • Code coverage hasn't regressed (enforced threshold, not aspirational)
  • Linting passes (no new lint errors)

Step 4: Required gates before deploy to production

  • Staging deploy succeeded
  • E2E tests on staging passed
  • Performance tests within SLO (for perf-sensitive changes)
  • Rollback procedure documented

Step 5: Branch protection

  • Main/master branch requires PR (no direct pushes)
  • PR requires CI pass + at least 1 review
  • Stale approvals invalidated on new commits

Step 6: Environment variable management

  • Secrets stored in CI environment variables, not code
  • Different secrets per environment (dev/staging/prod never share production secrets)
  • Rotate secrets on schedule, not just on breach

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-and-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS (1 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 619 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
