What it does

Mcaf CI CD is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Design or refine CI/CD workflows, quality gates, release flow, and safe AI-assisted pipeline authoring. Use when adding or changing build pipelines, release stages, IaC-driven environments, or deployment rollback policy.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ci-cd.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires repository access; may update CI workflows, pipeline docs, and release guidance.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Quality gates. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing build pipelines
  • IaC-driven environments
  • Deployment rollback policy

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-ci-cd”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires repository access; may update CI workflows, pipeline docs, and release guidance.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires repository access; may update CI workflows, pipeline docs, and release guidance.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf CI CD loads about 981 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~981
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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.

MCAF: CI/CD

Trigger On

  • adding or changing CI workflows
  • defining release flow or rollback policy
  • tightening pipeline quality gates
  • writing or reviewing AI-assisted pipeline YAML

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • feature-level testing with no pipeline or release impact
  • general source-control policy without CI/CD changes

Inputs

  • the current pipeline and release flow
  • real build, test, analyze, and deploy steps
  • environment and rollback constraints

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Define the target flow first:
    • PR validation
    • integration-branch gates
    • non-production deployment
    • production promotion or release
  2. Keep pipelines reviewable:
    • explicit build, test, and analyze steps
    • least-privilege secrets and permissions
    • rollback or fail-safe strategy
  3. Treat AI-generated YAML as draft content until it is reviewed and validated.
  4. For .NET repositories, make the quality gate explicit:
    • formatting ownership
    • analyzer ownership
    • coverage and report generation
    • runner model (VSTest or Microsoft.Testing.Platform)
  5. Pull only the references that match the current delivery problem.

Deliver

  • CI/CD changes that are explicit, reproducible, and reviewable
  • release documentation with rollback thinking
  • pipeline rules aligned with MCAF verification

Validate

  • every stage has a clear purpose and failure signal
  • rollback or safe failure is explicit
  • secrets and permissions are minimized
  • the pipeline matches the repo’s actual verification model

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/ci-cd.md first
  • for .NET quality gates, use mcaf-dotnet-quality-ci

Example Requests

  • "Design CI for this repo."
  • "Tighten our deployment gates and rollback story."
  • "Review this GitHub Actions YAML before we trust it."
