relay-pipelineBuild a full CI/CD pipeline from scratch. An agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace.
Relay Pipeline is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a full CI/CD pipeline from scratch. Use when asked to "set up CI/CD", "create pipeline", or "automate deploys".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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. It works with GitHub Actions and Python. 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.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashGlobGrepWebFetchWebSearchTaskTodoWrite…and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gocargomvnFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GCP_SA_KEYFLY_API_TOKENFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Relay Pipeline loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 402 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestionAutomated 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.

|---|---|

| No linter configured | Skip lint stage |
| Test files exist | Run tests with coverage |
| No tests | Run build only; add a comment to add tests |

| Interpreted language, no compile step | Skip build stage |

| No deploy config | Output pipeline without deploy; note what to add |
CI budget: 10 minutes max. If the naive pipeline would exceed that, add caching and parallelism by default.

Build a full CI/CD pipeline from scratch. An agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Relay Pipeline is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a full CI/CD pipeline from scratch.
Relay Pipeline fits situations like: asked to set up CI/CD; create pipeline; automate deploys.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill relay-pipeline -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ai-agency/tonone/skills/relay-pipeline in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .claude/skills/relay-pipeline in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill relay-pipeline -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/ai-agency/tonone/skills/relay-pipeline in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .agents/skills/relay-pipeline in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill relay-pipeline -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/relay-pipeline, .gemini/skills/relay-pipeline, .github/skills/relay-pipeline and .opencode/skills/relay-pipeline in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Relay Pipeline needs the command-line tools its instructions call (go, cargo and mvn) and credentials named GCP_SA_KEY and FLY_API_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; Docker; A credential in GCP_SA_KEY; A credential in FLY_API_TOKEN. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Task, TodoWrite, AskUserQuestion.
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.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Relay Pipeline is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Relay Pipeline: Reproduce macOS Python Flavors (Nuitka/Nuitka, 15k stars), CI Pipeline Synthesizer (kajisho5/ffmpeg-skill, 1.9k stars), DDNS Build and Release Maintenance (NewFuture/DDNS, 4.7k stars) and Audit Review (testflows/TestFlows-GitHub-Hetzner-Runners, 102 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
