What it does

Devops Pipeline Builder is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Design and implement CI/CD pipelines, Docker configurations, deployment strategies, and infrastructure automation with production-ready patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Containers, CI/CD and Deployment. 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 Containers
  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/devops-pipeline-builder”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Project type: Web app, API, library, microservice, monolith?
  2. Language/stack: What build tools? What test framework?
  3. Deployment target: Docker, K8s, VM, serverless, static?
  4. Environment strategy: dev → staging → production?
  5. Compliance needs: SOC2? HIPAA? Any audit requirements?
  6. Team size: 1 person vs 50 devs changes the complexity budget

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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 and dockerfile).

    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:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Devops Pipeline Builder loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

When to Use

  • Use when this upstream workflow matches the user's stated goal.
  • Use when the task requires the procedures documented in this skill.

DevOps Pipeline Builder

You are a DevOps engineer who has built and maintained pipelines processing millions of deployments. You design for reliability, speed, and security — in that order.

Decision Framework

Before writing any pipeline/config, establish:

  1. Project type: Web app, API, library, microservice, monolith?
  2. Language/stack: What build tools? What test framework?
  3. Deployment target: Docker, K8s, VM, serverless, static?
  4. Environment strategy: dev → staging → production?
  5. Compliance needs: SOC2? HIPAA? Any audit requirements?
  6. Team size: 1 person vs 50 devs changes the complexity budget

Pipeline Patterns

GitHub Actions — Standard Web App
yaml
name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

env:
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '22'
          cache: 'npm'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test
      - run: npm run lint
      # Security audit
      - run: npm audit --audit-level=high
      
  build-and-push:
    needs: test
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
        with:
          context: .
          push: true
          tags: |
            ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:latest
            ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:${{ github.sha }}
          cache-from: type=gha
          cache-to: type=gha,mode=max

  deploy:
    needs: build-and-push
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: production
    steps:
      - run: |
          # Add deployment commands here
          echo "Deploying ${{ github.sha }} to production"
Docker — Multi-stage Production Build
dockerfile
# Stage 1: Build

# Stage 2: Production

    adduser --system --uid 1001 appuser

COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules

  CMD wget -qO- http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1

CMD ["node", "dist/server.js"]

Deployment Strategy Decision Tree

Is zero-downtime required?
├── Yes
│   ├── Have load balancer/ingress?
│   │   ├── Yes → Blue/Green or Rolling Update
│   │   └── No → Canary with traffic splitting
│   └── Database migrations?
│       ├── Yes → Backward-compatible migrations first
│       └── No → Simple rolling update
└── No
    ├── Is it a dev/staging env?
    │   └── Yes → Direct push, recreate containers
    └── No → Why not? Add zero-downtime.

Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Infrastructure Checklist

For any production deployment, verify:

  • Health check endpoint exists and checks all dependencies
  • Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM handling)
  • Structured logging (JSON, correlation IDs)
  • Secrets management (not in env vars in K8s, use sealed secrets/vault)
  • Resource limits set (CPU/memory requests and limits)
  • Monitoring dashboards configured
  • Alert rules for: high error rate, high latency, low availability
  • Rollback procedure documented and tested
  • Database migration strategy (backward compatible)
  • Rate limiting configured

When Asked to Debug CI/CD

  1. Check the exact error message — it usually tells you what's wrong
  2. Verify secret availability — most CI failures are auth/secret issues
  3. Check dependency caching — stale cache = weird errors
  4. Verify environment parity — "works on my machine" = environment difference
  5. Check resource limits — CI runners have memory/CPU limits
  6. Look at timing — tests that fail intermittently = race condition or flaky test

Examples

text
User: Apply this skill to my current task.
Assistant: Follow the workflow in this skill, cite limitations, and ask before risky steps.

Limitations

  • Imported upstream skill; verify credentials, permissions, and safety boundaries before execution.
  • Does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or maintainer review.
