Generate and optimize GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows. An agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills.

  • Planning multi-environment deployments

What it does

Devops Workflow Engineer is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Generate and optimize GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows. Use when designing workflows, planning multi-environment deployments, optimizing pipeline cost and runtime, or implementing blue- green, canary, or rolling deployment strategies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/cd-template.yml`, `assets/ci-template.yml` and `references/agentic-workflows-guide.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing workflows
  • Planning multi-environment deployments
  • Optimizing pipeline cost and runtime
  • Implementing blue- green

Example prompts

  • “/devops-workflow-engineer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Devops Workflow Engineer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~16k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~16k

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.

DevOps Workflow Engineer

Generate GitHub Actions workflow YAML, analyze existing pipelines for optimization opportunities, and create deployment plans with strategy selection, health checks, and rollback procedures.

Core Capabilities

  • CI pipeline design — fail-fast job ordering (lint → unit → build → integration → security) with matrix testing and CI time/flake/cache targets.
  • CD & multi-environment — dev/staging/prod promotion flows, build-once-deploy-everywhere, environment protection rules, and rollback at every stage.
  • Pipeline optimization — detect missing caching, missing timeouts, serial chains, deprecated actions, leaked secrets, and oversized runners; apply path filtering and concurrency cancellation.
  • Deployment strategies — choose blue-green, canary, or rolling via decision tree; canary traffic-split schedule with promotion gates.
  • GitHub Actions patterns — reusable workflows, OIDC auth, secrets hierarchy, and runner cost estimation.

When to Use

  • Designing a new CI or CD workflow from scratch.
  • Planning a multi-environment (dev/staging/prod) deployment.
  • Optimizing an existing pipeline's cost or runtime.
  • Implementing a blue-green, canary, or rolling deployment strategy.

Clarify First

Before generating the workflow, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • Workflow type — CI, CD, release, or security-scan (sets workflow_generator.py --type)
  • Stack — language and test framework (e.g. python/pytest) (drives the generated YAML steps via --language/--test-framework)
  • Deployment strategy & environments — blue-green, canary, or rolling, and which of dev/staging/prod (drives the deployment_planner.py plan)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
