What it does

CI CD Pipeline Builder is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Generate pragmatic CI/CD pipelines from detected project stack signals — fast baseline generation, repeatable checks, environment-aware deployment stages. Use when setting up CI for a new project, refactoring existing pipelines, or standardizing deployment workflows across multiple repos.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/deployment-gates.md` and `references/github-actions-templates.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Deployment. It works with GitLab and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“/ci-cd-pipeline-builder”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Detect Stack
Generate Pipeline From Detection
Validate Before Merge
Add Deployment Stages Safely

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CI CD Pipeline Builder loads about 806 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~806
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

CI/CD Pipeline Builder

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: DevOps / Automation

Overview

Use this skill to generate pragmatic CI/CD pipelines from detected project stack signals, not guesswork. It focuses on fast baseline generation, repeatable checks, and environment-aware deployment stages.

Core Capabilities

Detect language/runtime/tooling from repository files
Recommend CI stages (lint, test, build, deploy)
Generate GitHub Actions or GitLab CI starter pipelines
Include caching and matrix strategy based on detected stack
Emit machine-readable detection output for automation
Keep pipeline logic aligned with project lockfiles and build commands

When to Use

Bootstrapping CI for a new repository
Replacing brittle copied pipeline files
Migrating between GitHub Actions and GitLab CI
Auditing whether pipeline steps match actual stack
Creating a reproducible baseline before custom hardening

Key Workflows

1. Detect Stack

bash

python3 scripts/stack_detector.py --repo . --format text
python3 scripts/stack_detector.py --repo . --format json > detected-stack.json

Supports input via stdin or --input file for offline analysis payloads.

2. Generate Pipeline From Detection

bash

python3 scripts/pipeline_generator.py \
  --input detected-stack.json \
  --platform github \
  --output .github/workflows/ci.yml \
  --format text

Or end-to-end from repo directly:

bash

python3 scripts/pipeline_generator.py --repo . --platform gitlab --output .gitlab-ci.yml

3. Validate Before Merge

Confirm commands exist in project (test, lint, build).
Run generated pipeline locally where possible.
Ensure required secrets/env vars are documented.
Keep deploy jobs gated by protected branches/environments.

4. Add Deployment Stages Safely

Start with CI-only (lint/test/build).
Add staging deploy with explicit environment context.
Add production deploy with manual gate/approval.
Keep rollout/rollback commands explicit and auditable.

Script Interfaces

python3 scripts/stack_detector.py --help
- Detects stack signals from repository files
- Reads optional JSON input from stdin/--input
python3 scripts/pipeline_generator.py --help
- Generates GitHub/GitLab YAML from detection payload
- Writes to stdout or --output

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use CI CD Pipeline Builder in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill ci-cd-pipeline-builder -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ci-cd-pipeline-builder, .gemini/skills/ci-cd-pipeline-builder, .github/skills/ci-cd-pipeline-builder and .opencode/skills/ci-cd-pipeline-builder in your project.

What does CI CD Pipeline Builder need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, CI CD Pipeline Builder needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does CI CD Pipeline Builder access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is CI CD Pipeline Builder safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does CI CD Pipeline Builder use?

CI CD Pipeline Builder is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does CI CD Pipeline Builder use?

About 806 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 984 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
