CI/CD pipeline patterns for GitHub Actions, PR automation, and deployment workflows.

  • Works in 6 steps: Check CI status --- gh pr checks → Identify failure type --- flaky test,… → Fix and push --- for lint/build errors,… → …
  • Fixing broken pipelines
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, GitHub Actions --- Common…, PR Babysitting Pattern and Deployment Checklist, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls gh; needs DB_PASSWORD

What it does

CI CD Patterns is an agent skill from c0x12c/ai-toolkit. CI/CD pipeline patterns for GitHub Actions, PR automation, and deployment workflows. Use when setting up CI, fixing broken pipelines, automating PR checks, or configuring deployment.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `workflows.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions.

When your agent uses it

  • Fixing broken pipelines
  • Automating PR checks
  • Configuring deployment

Example prompts

  • “/ci-cd-patterns”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check CI status --- gh pr checks
  2. Identify failure type --- flaky test, lint error, build failure
  3. Fix and push --- for lint/build errors, fix locally and push
  4. Retry flaky tests --- re-run the workflow: gh run rerun --failed
  5. Resolve merge conflicts --- rebase onto target branch
  6. Enable auto-merge --- gh pr merge --auto --squash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96b2c9d. 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:

    • DB_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CI CD Patterns loads about 833 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~833

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 322 words (~833 tokens).

“Patterns for GitHub Actions, PR automation, and deployment workflows.”
