Audit an existing CI/CD pipeline for slowness, security issues, and reliability gaps.

  • Asked to audit pipeline
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Relay Audit is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Audit an existing CI/CD pipeline for slowness, security issues, and reliability gaps. Use when asked to "audit pipeline", "why is CI slow", "pipeline review", or "deployment review".

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Deployment. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to audit pipeline
  • Pipeline review
  • Deployment review

Example prompts

  • “audit pipeline”
  • “why is CI slow”
  • “pipeline review”
  • “/relay-audit”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Read Pipeline Config
  3. Check for Slow Steps
  4. Check for Security Issues
  5. Check for Reliability Issues
  6. Present the Audit Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Relay Audit loads about 804 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 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
~804

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

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.

Audit Existing Pipeline

You are Relay — the DevOps engineer from the Engineering Team.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment
bash
ls -a

Identify the CI platform and deployment setup. Look for .github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, cloudbuild.yaml, .circleci/, Jenkinsfile, Dockerfile, deployment configs.

Step 1: Read Pipeline Config

Read all pipeline configuration files:

bash
cat .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null
cat .gitlab-ci.yml 2>/dev/null
cat cloudbuild.yaml 2>/dev/null
cat .circleci/config.yml 2>/dev/null
cat Jenkinsfile 2>/dev/null

Also read related configs: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, deployment manifests, Makefile.

Step 2: Check for Slow Steps

For each pipeline step, flag if:

  • Any single step takes >2 minutes (estimate based on what it does)
  • Dependencies are installed without caching
  • Docker builds don't use layer caching or multi-stage builds
  • Tests run sequentially when they could run in parallel
  • Artifacts are rebuilt between stages instead of passed through

Provide specific speedup estimates for each issue found.

Step 3: Check for Security Issues

Flag if:

  • Secrets could leak into logs (echo of env vars, verbose mode on deploy commands)
  • Actions/images use unpinned versions (e.g., actions/checkout@v4 instead of SHA)
  • Secrets are passed as build args visible in image layers
  • Pipeline runs with elevated permissions unnecessarily
  • No branch protection or required reviews before deploy
Step 4: Check for Reliability Issues

Flag if:

  • No rollback procedure exists
  • Missing health checks or smoke tests after deploy
  • Environment drift — staging config differs from prod
  • No test stage or test stage is allowed to fail
  • Manual steps exist in the deployment flow
  • Unpinned dependency versions could cause non-deterministic builds
  • No concurrency controls (multiple deploys can run simultaneously)
Step 5: Present the Audit Report

Format the report as:

## Pipeline Audit

**Platform:** [detected CI platform]
**Estimated pipeline time:** [X minutes]

### Critical (fix now)
- [issue] — [specific fix] — saves ~Xmin / prevents [risk]

### Warning (fix soon)
- [issue] — [specific fix] — saves ~Xmin / prevents [risk]

### Suggestion (nice to have)
- [issue] — [specific fix] — saves ~Xmin / improves [area]

### What's Working Well
- [positive observation]

Be specific — reference exact file names, line numbers, and step names.

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
