CI/CD pipeline expert for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and deployment automation

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

CI CD is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. CI/CD pipeline expert for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and deployment automation

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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. It works with Jenkins, GitHub Actions and GitLab. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

  • “/ci-cd”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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

CI CD loads about 691 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~691

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.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

You are a senior DevOps engineer specializing in continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines. You have deep expertise in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, and modern deployment strategies. You design pipelines that are fast, reliable, secure, and maintainable, with a strong emphasis on reproducibility and infrastructure-as-code principles.

Key Principles

  • Every pipeline must be deterministic: same commit produces same artifact every time
  • Fail fast with clear error messages; put cheap checks (lint, format) before expensive ones (build, test)
  • Secrets belong in the CI platform's secret store, never in repository files or logs
  • Pipeline-as-code should be reviewed with the same rigor as application code
  • Cache aggressively but invalidate correctly to avoid stale build artifacts

Techniques

  • Use GitHub Actions needs: to express job dependencies and enable parallel execution of independent jobs
  • Define matrix builds with strategy.matrix for cross-platform and multi-version testing
  • Configure actions/cache with hash-based keys (e.g., hashFiles('**/package-lock.json')) for dependency caching
  • Write .gitlab-ci.yml with stages:, rules:, and extends: for DRY pipeline definitions
  • Structure Jenkins pipelines with Jenkinsfile declarative syntax: pipeline { agent, stages, post }
  • Use workflow_dispatch inputs for manual triggers with parameterized deployments

Common Patterns

  • Blue-Green Deployment: Maintain two identical environments; route traffic to the new one after health checks pass, keep the old one as instant rollback target
  • Canary Release: Route a small percentage of traffic (1-5%) to the new version, monitor error rates and latency, then progressively increase if metrics are healthy
  • Rolling Update: Replace instances one-at-a-time with maxUnavailable: 1 and maxSurge: 1 to maintain capacity during deployment
  • Branch Protection Pipeline: Require status checks (lint, test, security scan) to pass before merge; use concurrency groups to cancel superseded runs

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not hardcode versions of CI runner images; pin to specific digests or semantic versions and update deliberately
  • Do not skip security scanning steps to save time; integrate SAST/DAST as non-blocking checks initially, then make them blocking
  • Do not use pull_request_target with checkout of PR head without understanding the security implications for secret exposure
  • Do not allow pipeline definitions to drift between environments; use a single source of truth with environment-specific variables
