What is cicd-pipelines?

A guide for building and automating CI/CD pipelines. CI/CD means automatically checking code and delivering it through environments such as testing and production.

Use it with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Terraform, cloud templates, Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps, container builds, deployment workflows, caching, test sharding, and security scans.

It helps organise builds, tests, security checks, infrastructure changes, and deployments into repeatable workflows. It also covers diagnosing pipeline failures and improving slow builds or test suites.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00093	$0.03537
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.01768
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00707
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00354

Security

Grade A, and why

cicd-pipelines 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 executable files (scripts/add-spdx-headers.sh, scripts/analyze-bus-factor.sh, scripts/check-branch-coverage.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.

CI/CD Pipelines - Comprehensive DevOps Skill

A unified skill for CI/CD pipeline design, DevOps automation, infrastructure as code, GitOps deployment automation, security scanning, and enterprise pipeline readiness across major platforms.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

CI/CD Pipeline Development

Creating new CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
Debugging pipeline failures or flaky tests
Optimizing slow builds or test suites
Implementing caching strategies
Setting up deployment workflows
Implementing matrix builds or test sharding
Configuring multi-environment deployments

DevSecOps & Security

Securing pipelines (secrets, OIDC, supply chain)
Implementing security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA)
Container image vulnerability scanning inside a pipeline
Secret detection and management
Enterprise readiness assessment (OpenSSF compliance)

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform module development
CloudFormation/CDK templates
Deploying Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts from CI/CD
GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux)

Container Pipeline Integration

Building and signing container images from an existing Dockerfile
Publishing to registries from CI/CD
Scanning container images with tools such as Trivy or Snyk
Deploying containerized services through GitOps

For Dockerfile design, Docker Compose, local container environments, or container runtime architecture, switch to docker-containerization.

Release Management

Semantic versioning automation
Changelog generation
GitHub/GitLab release creation
Artifact signing and provenance

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.

cicd-pipelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository viktorbezdek/skillstack (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 3,537 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.

ci-automation

Use when the pytorch-test-refactoring orchestrator emits "schedulecron" or "needagent" with phase "cidebug", when a CronCreate cron job fires and you need to run orchestrator.py --ci-check, or when the user says "look after the ci", "monitor ci", "check ci status", "watch the pr", or "debug ci failures".

gh-fix-ci

Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use gh to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
