What it does

CI is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Detect/generate/debug CI pipeline config (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI). Triggers: CI setup, build pipeline, GitHub Actions config, debug CI, GitLab CI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/ci-detect.py`, `templates/github-actions-node.yml` and `templates/github-actions-python.yml`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions, GitLab, Docker and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Professional-grade AI coding toolkit: 94 skills, 44 agents, multi-platform (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Cline, Roo Code, Aider, Augment, Antigravity, Codex CLI… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

“/ci”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
Docker
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write

Workflow steps

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

Lint - Static analysis, formatting checks
Test - Unit tests, integration tests with coverage
Build - Compile, bundle, Docker image
Deploy (optional) - Deploy to staging/production

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d64db2b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
- Write
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~38
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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write
```

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

/ci - CI/CD Pipeline Management

$ARGUMENTS

What This Command Does

Generate, update, or troubleshoot CI/CD pipeline configuration based on project type.

Project context

CI config: !cat .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null || cat .gitlab-ci.yml 2>/dev/null || echo "no-ci"

CI Detection Script

Detect CI platform and analyze configuration:

bash

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ci-detect.py [directory]

Returns JSON with:

platform - detected CI platform (github-actions, gitlab-ci, jenkins, bitbucket, circleci)
config_files[] - CI config file paths
project_type - detected project type (python, node, flutter, go, rust, php, docker)
jobs_found[] - job/stage names extracted from config
stages_detected[] - best-practice stages found (lint, test, build, deploy)
missing_stages[] - recommended stages not yet configured
suggested_template - pointer to ci-cd-patterns skill for templates

Auto-Detection

File Found	Project Type	Pipeline
`package.json`	Node.js/TypeScript	npm ci, lint, test, build
`pyproject.toml` / `setup.py`	Python	pip install, ruff, mypy, pytest
`pubspec.yaml`	Flutter/Dart	dart analyze, flutter test, build
`composer.json`	PHP	composer install, phpstan, phpunit
`go.mod`	Go	go vet, go test, go build
`Cargo.toml`	Rust	cargo clippy, cargo test, cargo build
`Dockerfile`	Docker	Build and push image

Supported Platforms

GitHub Actions (default): .github/workflows/ci.yml
GitLab CI: .gitlab-ci.yml

Pipeline Stages

Lint - Static analysis, formatting checks
Test - Unit tests, integration tests with coverage
Build - Compile, bundle, Docker image
Deploy (optional) - Deploy to staging/production

Usage Examples

/ci                          # Generate CI config for detected project type
/ci github-actions           # Explicitly use GitHub Actions
/ci add deploy staging       # Add deployment stage for staging
/ci fix                      # Troubleshoot failing pipeline
/ci add matrix node 18,20,22 # Add matrix testing

Reference Skill

Use ci-cd-patterns skill for pipeline templates and best practices.

Rules

MUST detect existing CI platform before generating a new config — do not overwrite silently
NEVER commit generated CI configs that embed hardcoded secrets or tokens
CRITICAL: preserve existing job names and triggers unless the user explicitly asks for a restructure
MANDATORY: every generated pipeline must include lint + test stages at minimum
MUST collect every failing job before diagnosing — do not stop at the first red check. A pipeline usually breaks in more than one place, and reporting only the first one costs a full cycle per remaining failure

Gotchas

GitHub Actions YAML parses on: as a reserved word only when unquoted. Writing "on": (quoted) produces a valid-looking file whose workflow never triggers. YAML anchors in this field also silently break.
GitLab CI's rules: and only:/except: are mutually exclusive at the job level. Mixing them fails parse on pipeline run but not at git push time — test with gitlab-ci-lint before committing.
secrets.* in GitHub Actions is undefined in workflows triggered from forked PRs (security boundary). Jobs that need secrets must gate on github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository or use pull_request_target carefully.
actions/checkout@v6 defaults to fetch-depth: 1 (shallow). Commands that need history (git log, git describe, conventional-commit tools) fail with misleading errors — set fetch-depth: 0 for those jobs.

When NOT to Use

For running tests locally — use /test
For general CI/CD patterns and theory — use /ci-cd-patterns (knowledge skill)
For deployment orchestration only — use /deploy
When the project has no VCS-hosted CI platform — generate locally-runnable scripts instead

Files

SKILL.md and 3 other files (scripts) in app/skills/ci of softspark/ai-toolkit.

Questions about CI

What does CI do?

Detect/generate/debug CI pipeline config (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI). CI is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Detect/generate/debug CI pipeline config (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

When should I use CI?

CI fits situations like: tasks that involve CI/CD.

How do I install CI in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill ci -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/ci in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .claude/skills/ci in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install CI in Codex?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill ci -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/ci in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .agents/skills/ci in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use CI in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill ci -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ci, .gemini/skills/ci, .github/skills/ci and .opencode/skills/ci in your project.

What does CI need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, CI needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git and python3). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; Docker. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Write.

Does CI access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is CI safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does CI use?

CI is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does CI use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to CI?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with CI: GitHub Actions Creator (FNOSP/FlyNarwhal, 495 stars), Megalinter Check (nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint, 248 stars), CI CD (EliasOulkadi/shokunin, 114 stars) and CI CD (ahmedasmar/devops-claude-skills, 203 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains CI?

softspark (a GitHub user) maintains it in softspark/ai-toolkit, which has 179 GitHub stars. The repository holds 112 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
