What it does

Circleci is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Configure CircleCI workflows and orbs for continuous integration and deployment.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and…

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

“/circleci”

Requirements

Node.js
Docker
A credential in AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and templates not bundled.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- kubectl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires the relevant platform CLIs (kubectl, helm, terraform, git, CI runners) and authorized access to the target environment. Docs-only; helper scripts and templates not bundled.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Circleci loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.3k

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.

Common Issues

Issue: Cache Not Restoring

Problem: Cache misses on every build Solution: Verify cache key format, ensure checksum file hasn't changed

Issue: Workspace Attach Fails

Problem: Cannot find persisted workspace Solution: Ensure persist_to_workspace job completed, check paths

Issue: Docker Layer Caching

Problem: Docker builds are slow Solution: Enable Docker Layer Caching in project settings (paid feature)

Best Practices

Use orbs for common tasks
Implement aggressive caching strategies
Use workspaces for sharing data between jobs
Split tests with parallelism for faster builds
Use contexts for environment-specific secrets
Define reusable executors
Store test results for insights

github-actions (github-actions) - GitHub CI/CD
docker-management (docker-management) - Container builds
aws-ecs-fargate (aws-ecs-fargate) - ECS deployments

Limitations

Guidance executes against real environments: confirm target, blast radius, and rollback plan before applying anything.
Never deploy to production without explicit approval. Docs-only import: upstream scripts and templates not bundled.

Example

bash

git status && git diff --stat
kubectl diff -f manifest.yaml

Adapted from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (MIT); frontmatter, When to Use/Limitations, and safety boundaries added for upstream compliance. Docs-only import: helper scripts and templates not bundled.
