What it does

Cicd Pipeline is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. Full pipeline for CI/CD pipeline design, build, monitoring, and optimization. An agent team collaborates to perform stage design, YAML configuration generation, security scan integration, and monitoring/alert design. Use this skill for any CI/CD task including 'create a CI/CD pipeline', 'GitHub Actions', 'GitLab CI', 'Jenkins pipeline', 'deployment automation', 'build pipeline', 'DevOps pipeline', 'auto deploy', 'CI setup', 'CD setup', etc. Also supports optimization and security hardening for existing pipelines…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Security review. It works with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, GitHub Actions and GitLab. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Any CI/CD task including create a CI/CD pipeline
  • Jenkins pipeline
  • Deployment automation
  • DevOps pipeline

Example prompts

  • “create a CI/CD pipeline”
  • “GitHub Actions”
  • “GitLab CI”
  • “/cicd-pipeline”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preparation (Performed directly by the orchestrator)
  2. Team Assembly and Execution
  3. Integration and Final Artifacts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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.

Context cost

Cicd Pipeline loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 171 tokens; SKILL.md has 680 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~171
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

description
Full pipeline for CI/CD pipeline design, build, monitoring, and optimization. An agent team collaborates to perform stage design, YAML configuration generation, security scan integration, and monitoring/alert design. Use this skill for any CI/CD task including 'create a CI/CD pipeline', 'GitHub Actions', 'GitLab CI', 'Jenkins pipeline', 'deployment automation', 'build pipeline', 'DevOps pipeline', 'auto deploy', 'CI setup', 'CD setup', etc. Also supports optimization and security hardening for existing pipelines. Note: actual infrastructure provisioning (AWS/GCP resource creation), server configuration, and cluster management are outside the scope of this skill.

CI/CD Pipeline — Pipeline Design, Build, Monitoring, and Optimization

An agent team collaborates to perform CI/CD pipeline design, configuration generation, security integration, and monitoring in a single pass.

Execution Mode

Agent Team — 5 members communicate directly via SendMessage and cross-validate each other's work.

Agent Composition

AgentFileRoleType
pipeline-designer.claude/agents/pipeline-designer.mdStage design, branch strategy, deployment strategygeneral-purpose
infra-engineer.claude/agents/infra-engineer.mdRunners, containers, secrets, environment configurationgeneral-purpose
monitoring-specialist.claude/agents/monitoring-specialist.mdMetrics, alerts, dashboards, DORAgeneral-purpose
security-scanner.claude/agents/security-scanner.mdSAST, SCA, container scanning, secret detectiongeneral-purpose
pipeline-reviewer.claude/agents/pipeline-reviewer.mdEfficiency, reliability, security, alignment verificationgeneral-purpose

Workflow

Phase 1: Preparation (Performed directly by the orchestrator)
  1. Extract from user input:
    • Project Type: Language/framework (Node.js, Python, Go, Java, etc.)
    • CI/CD Tool: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins
    • Deployment Target: AWS / GCP / Azure / Kubernetes / Docker
    • Branch Strategy (optional): GitFlow, Trunk-based
    • Existing Files (optional): Existing CI/CD configuration, Dockerfile, etc.
  2. Create the _workspace/ directory at the project root
  3. Organize the input and save to _workspace/00_input.md
  4. If existing files are provided, copy them to _workspace/ and skip the corresponding phase
  5. Determine the execution mode based on the scope of the request
Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution
OrderTaskOwnerDependenciesArtifact
1Pipeline Designpipeline-designerNone_workspace/01_pipeline_design.md
2aInfrastructure Configinfra-engineerTask 1_workspace/02_pipeline_config/, 02_infra_config.md
2bSecurity Scan Designsecurity-scannerTask 1_workspace/04_security_scan.md
3Monitoring Designmonitoring-specialistTasks 1, 2a_workspace/03_monitoring.md
4Pipeline Reviewpipeline-reviewerTasks 2a, 2b, 3_workspace/05_review_report.md

Tasks 2a (infrastructure) and 2b (security) are executed in parallel.

Inter-team communication flow:

  • pipeline-designer completes -> Delivers stage requirements to infra-engineer, scan placement to security-scanner, deployment strategy to monitoring-specialist
  • infra-engineer completes -> Delivers log/metric points to monitoring-specialist, image/dependency paths to security-scanner
  • security-scanner completes -> Delivers security alert rules to monitoring-specialist
  • pipeline-reviewer cross-validates all artifacts. When 🔴 must-fix issues are found, requests revisions from the relevant agent -> rework -> re-verify (up to 2 rounds)
Phase 3: Integration and Final Artifacts

Organize the final artifacts based on the review report:

  1. Verify all files in _workspace/
  2. Confirm that all 🔴 must-fix items from the review report have been addressed
  3. Report the final summary to the user

File naming convention: {order}_{agent}_{artifact}.{extension}

Error Handling

Error TypeStrategy

Agent failureRetry once -> If still fails, proceed without that artifact; note the omission in the review report
🔴 found during reviewRequest revision from the relevant agent -> rework -> re-verify (up to 2 rounds)
Existing YAML parsing failureManually analyze and create new configuration files

Test Scenarios

Normal Flow

Prompt: "Create a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline for a Node.js Express app. I want to deploy to AWS ECS with a Canary deployment strategy" Expected Result:

  • Design: CI (lint -> test -> build -> scan) + CD (staging -> approval -> canary -> rollout)
  • Infrastructure: GitHub Actions YAML, Dockerfile, ECR config, secret management
  • Security: Semgrep + Trivy + Gitleaks configuration
  • Monitoring: DORA metrics, build/deploy alerts, dashboards
  • Review: All items in the alignment matrix verified
Existing File Flow

Prompt: "Add security scanning to this GitHub Actions config" + YAML file Expected Result:

  • Copy existing YAML to _workspace/02_pipeline_config/
  • Security mode: deploy security-scanner + pipeline-reviewer
  • Skip pipeline-designer, infra-engineer, monitoring-specialist
Error Flow

Prompt: "Create a CI/CD quickly, Python project" Expected Result:

  • Deployment target not specified -> Docker-based generic design
  • GitHub Actions selected as default
  • Review report notes "deployment target unspecified, Docker container-based generic configuration"
