  • Creating or updating a CI/CD pipeline in a KubeSphere DevOps project

  • Calls curl, kubectl and jq; reaches github.com; needs API_TOKEN

What it does

In KubeSphere DevOps a pipeline is a Kubernetes custom resource tied to Jenkins, and this skill teaches the agent how the two sides line up: a DevOpsProject corresponds to a Jenkins folder, a Pipeline to a WorkflowJob and a PipelineRun to a build run. Kubernetes resources are treated as the source of truth.

The preferred way to start a run is to create a PipelineRun resource and apply it with kubectl, then watch its status phase, conditions and start and completion times. The skill insists that the agent first look up any parameters the pipeline defines, from the branch endpoint for multi-branch pipelines or from the Jenkinsfile for regular ones, because a run without required parameters fails or falls back to wrong defaults.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating or updating a CI/CD pipeline in a KubeSphere DevOps project
  • Triggering a pipeline run, including multi-branch pipelines that take parameters
  • Watching a run's progress and pulling its logs and artifacts
  • Troubleshooting a pipeline run that failed

Example prompts

  • “Trigger the build-and-push pipeline in demo-project and tell me when it finishes.”
  • “List all pipeline runs in demo-project and show which ones failed.”
  • “Does the release pipeline need parameters before I start a run on the main branch?”
  • “Fetch the logs from the last failed run of the api-service pipeline.”

Requirements

  • kubectl access to a KubeSphere cluster with DevOps installed

Workflow steps

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

  1. Get Pipeline Definition and Extract Parameters
  2. Trigger Pipeline with Parameters
  3. List Available Branches
  4. Ask User Which Branch to Build
  5. Trigger Build on Selected Branch
  6. Get Node Details to Find Input Step
  7. Approve or Reject the Input Step
  8. Get Jenkins PipelineRun ID
  9. Fetch Logs
  10. List Artifacts
  11. Download Artifact

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04a29b5. 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:

    • curl
    • kubectl
    • jq
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • jenkins.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_TOKEN

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

Context cost

KubeSphere DevOps Pipelines loads about 11k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,905 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~11k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,905 words (~11,192 tokens).

“Pipelines in KubeSphere DevOps are Kubernetes custom resources that integrate with Jenkins. KubeSphere uses a cloud-native, object-reconcile approach where Kubernetes resources are the source of truth.”
