When It Triggers · How It Works · What It Produces

Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.

Trigger

When setting up a new project CI pipeline
When modifying or debugging build/deploy pipelines

Mechanism

Define quality gate pipeline: lint → type check → unit test → build → deploy
Implement "Shift Left" strategy: move checks as early as possible
Configure failure feedback loops: notify developers quickly
Apply Feature Flag strategy: decouple deployment from release

Outcome

Automated CI/CD pipeline configuration with quality gates, deployment strategies, and failure notification mechanisms

Use Cases

Two Typical Use Cases

Scenario 01

New Project CI Pipeline Setup

At project startup, the agent uses this skill to configure a complete CI pipeline including code linting, unit tests, build verification, and deployment gates, ensuring every PR passes automated quality checks before merging.

Scenario 02

CI Failure Debugging and Pipeline Optimization

When CI pipelines fail, the agent systematically troubleshoots, locates root causes from failure logs, and evaluates pipeline efficiency, identifying optimization opportunities like parallelizing build steps or caching dependencies.

You May Also Need These Skills

api-and-interface-design

Guides agents to design stable, hard-to-misuse public interfaces using contract-first principles. Covers REST, GraphQL, module boundaries, component props, emphasizing Hyrum's Law, One-Version Rule, error semantics, and boundary validation. Produces consistent, maintainable, well-documented interface specifications.

Workflow

browser-testing-with-devtools

Browser testing skill that gives agents live browser runtime visibility via Chrome DevTools MCP. Supports DOM inspection, console log capture, network request analysis, performance profiling, and visual output verification. Bridges the gap between static code analysis and live browser execution.

CLI Manual

code-review-and-quality

Code review and quality skill that guides agents to conduct multi-axis code reviews covering correctness, design, maintainability, security, and performance. Emphasizes change sizing (~100 lines), severity labels (Nit/Optional/FYI), and splitting strategies to ensure code quality before every merge.

Workflow

code-simplification

Code simplification skill that guides agents to simplify complex code without changing behavior. Applies Chesterton's Fence (understand before removing), Rule of 500 (split large files), and refactoring techniques like reducing nesting and eliminating duplication. Produces clearer, more maintainable code.
