What it does

CI CD Pipelines is an agent skill from rohitg00/awesome-claude-code-toolkit. CI/CD pipeline patterns for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, testing strategies, and deployment automation

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 GitHub Actions and GitLab. The repository describes itself as: The most comprehensive toolkit for Claude Code -- 135 agents, 35 curated skills, 42 commands, 176+ plugins, 20 hooks, 15 rules, 7 templates, 14 MCP configs, 26 companion apps, 52… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

  • “/ci-cd-pipelines”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ebdf1d5. 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 (its code samples are yaml).

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • POSTGRES_PASSWORD

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

Context cost

CI CD Pipelines loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 Pipelines

GitHub Actions Workflow

yaml
name: CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}

jobs:
  lint:

          cache: npm
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run lint
      - run: npm run typecheck

  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: lint
    services:
      postgres:
        image: postgres:16
        env:

    steps:

      - uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: test
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    environment: production
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: ./scripts/deploy.sh

Use concurrency to cancel stale runs. Use needs to define job dependencies.

GitLab CI Pipeline

Reusable GitHub Action

yaml
# .github/actions/setup/action.yml
name: Setup
description: Install dependencies and cache
inputs:
  node-version:
    default: "22"
runs:
  using: composite
  steps:
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: ${{ inputs.node-version }}
        cache: npm
    - run: npm ci
      shell: bash
yaml
# Usage in workflow
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: ./.github/actions/setup
  - run: npm test

Matrix Strategy

yaml
test:
  strategy:
    fail-fast: false
    matrix:
      node: [20, 22]
      os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest]
  runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
    - run: npm ci && npm test

Anti-Patterns

  • Not caching dependencies (npm, pip, cargo) between runs
  • Running all jobs sequentially when lint and test can parallelize
  • Storing secrets in workflow files instead of repository/environment secrets
  • Missing concurrency groups causing redundant CI runs on rapid pushes
  • Not using fail-fast: false in matrix builds (one failure cancels others)
  • Deploying without an approval gate or environment protection rule

Checklist

  • Dependencies cached between CI runs
  • Concurrency groups cancel stale pipeline runs
  • Lint, typecheck, and test run as separate parallelizable jobs
  • Database services use health checks before tests start
  • Coverage reports uploaded and tracked
  • Deploy job requires approval for production
  • Reusable actions/templates extract common setup steps
  • Secrets stored in CI platform, never in code
