ci

Guidance for continuous integration and delivery pipelines. CI automatically checks code when changes are proposed or added to shared branches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Define pipeline triggers, cancel outdated runs, and require formatting, linting, tests, documentation, security, and version-support checks.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent order for checks and helps prevent untested or insecure changes from being merged.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ci 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 2d 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.

CI/CD Standards

Guidance for implementing compliant CI/CD pipelines that meet SDLC requirements.

Tooling

Available Tools: If using Claude Code, the gh:ci-assist skill can help migrate and configure CI pipelines. Also see gh:migrate for CI/CD migration from other platforms.

Pipeline Trigger Requirements

When CI MUST Run

CI MUST run on:

  • All pull requests to protected branches
  • All pushes to protected branches (develop, main)
  • Scheduled intervals (daily/weekly for security scans)

Concurrency Controls (MUST)

CI MUST implement concurrency controls to cancel superseded runs:

# GitHub Actions example
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

Required Pipeline Jobs

Job Order (MUST)

CI pipelines MUST include these jobs in order:

Order Job Purpose Required
1 Format check Verify code formatting MUST
2 Lint Static analysis with errors MUST
3 Test Run all tests MUST
4 Documentation Verify docs build MUST
5 Security audit Check for vulnerabilities MUST
6 MSV check Verify minimum version support MUST
7 Coverage Measure test coverage SHOULD
8 Benchmarks Performance regression check SHOULD

All Jobs Must Pass (MUST)

All CI jobs MUST pass before a PR can be merged. Configure branch protection to enforce this.

CI Configuration Requirements

Pinned Action Versions (MUST)

CI workflows MUST use pinned action versions. Prefer commit SHAs over tags:

# Good - SHA pinned
- uses: actions/checkout@8ade135a41bc03ea155e62e844d188df1ea18608 # v4.1.0

# Acceptable - tag pinned
- uses: actions/[email protected]

# Bad - floating tag
- uses: actions/checkout@v4

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.

ci is a skill published in the GitHub repository zircote-plugins/sdlc-quality (10 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,472 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
