What it does

CI CD is an agent skill from babarot/gh-infra. CI/CD integration patterns for gh-infra: auto-apply on merge, scheduled drift detection, self-managed vs central-management layouts, and authentication setup for GitHub Actions workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/central.md` and `references/self-managed.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD, GitOps and Third-party API integration. It works with GitHub Actions and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Declarative GitHub infrastructure management via YAML. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN
A credential in GH_INFRA_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e6443a. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GITHUB_TOKEN
- GH_INFRA_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CI CD loads about 482 tokens when it runs, and up to ~908 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~482
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~908

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from babarot/gh-infra at commit 7e6443a, republished under its MIT licence (© babarot). 200 words, ~482 tokens.

CI/CD Integration

Use this skill when the user wants GitHub Actions workflows around gh-infra.

Choose A Pattern

Self-managed: each repository owns its own .github/infra.yaml
Central management: one config repo manages many target repos

Read:

Self-managed workflow: references/self-managed.md
Central management workflow: references/central.md

Common Building Blocks

gh infra apply ... --auto-approve on merge to main
gh infra plan ... --ci on a schedule for drift detection
use GITHUB_TOKEN only for self-managed single-repo workflows
use a fine-grained PAT or GitHub App token for cross-repo central management

Authentication

Self-managed

Use the default workflow token:

yaml

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Central management

The default workflow token cannot manage other repositories. Use:

a fine-grained PAT with the required per-repo permissions
or a GitHub App installation token

Pass it as:

yaml

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GH_INFRA_TOKEN }}

Never use a broad classic PAT.

Important Constraints

gh-infra reads only top-level *.yaml / *.yml in the target directory
if manifests are split across repos/ and files/, run once per directory
--auto-approve is required in CI
--ci makes plan exit 1 when drift exists

Typical Flows

PR review flow: run plan on pull requests touching manifests
Auto-apply flow: run apply --auto-approve on merge
Drift detection flow: run plan --ci on a schedule

Use both auto-apply and drift detection unless the user explicitly wants review-only behavior.

Can I use CI CD 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 babarot/gh-infra --skill ci-cd -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, .gemini/skills/ci-cd, .github/skills/ci-cd and .opencode/skills/ci-cd in your project.

What does CI CD need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, CI CD needs the command-line tools its instructions call (gh) and credentials named GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_INFRA_TOKEN. Our summary lists: A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN; A credential in GH_INFRA_TOKEN.

Does CI CD access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
