What it does

Discover Cicd is an agent skill from rand/cc-polymath. Automatically discover CI/CD and automation skills when working with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, pipelines, continuous integration, continuous deployment, or automated testing. Activates for CI/CD development tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code. Compatible with any agent supporting the Agent Skills format.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions, GitLab and Jenkins. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills and workflows, optimized for context-efficiency and skill quality. Skills ranging from cloud infrastructure to design to advanced maths. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

  • “/discover-cicd”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code. Compatible with any agent supporting the Agent Skills format.

Workflow steps

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

  1. cd-deployment-patterns
  2. ci-optimization
  3. ci-security
  4. ci-testing-strategy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit baa2df1. 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

    Designed for Claude Code. Compatible with any agent supporting the Agent Skills format.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Discover Cicd loads about 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~437

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.
