Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Diseña y optimiza pipelines de CI/CD — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, automatización de tests, linting, builds y deploys. Trigger: Cuando hay que automatizar tests, linting, builds o deploys, o configurar un pipeline de CI/CD.
222 charsno explicit “when” trigger

Key capabilities

  • Automate tests on every pull request
  • Configure deployment to staging or production
  • Set up linting and type checking in CI
  • Optimize slow CI pipeline performance
  • Implement dependency caching for faster runs

How it works

This skill analyzes existing CI setups and designs new pipelines by applying patterns like caching, secret management, and conditional triggers to automate development workflows.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Existing CI configurations or requirements for new pipelines
You get back
Optimized CI/CD pipeline configuration files (e.g., .github/workflows/main.yml)

When to use ci-cd-pilot

  • Automate tests on every pull request
  • Configure deployment to staging or production
  • Optimize slow CI pipeline performance

About this skill

Skill: ci-cd-pilot

Pipelines que no se rompen los viernes a las 18.

Trigger

  • Querés que los tests corran solos en cada PR
  • Necesitás automatizar el deploy a staging/prod
  • Hay que configurar linting + type checking en CI
  • Un pipeline existente tarda 20 minutos y hay que optimizarlo
  • Vas a mergear y querés que pase por controles automáticos

Workflow LEND

1. ANALIZAR
   ├── Stack: Python (ruff, pytest), Node (eslint, vitest), Go (golangci-lint)
   ├── ¿Hay tests? ¿Hay linter? ¿Hay type checker?
   ├── ¿Dónde deploya? (Railway, Vercel, AWS, Docker Hub)
   └── ¿Ambientes? (dev, staging, prod)

2. OFRECER (Menú del Senior)
   ├── A) Scout: lint + type check + build. Rápido, mínimo.
   ├── B) Guardian: lint + tests + build + security scan. No mergea si falla.
   └── C) Ironclad: todo + auto-deploy + notificaciones + matrix builds

3. ELEGIR → el usuario confirma

4. HACER
   ├── .github/workflows/main.yml o .gitlab-ci.yml
   ├── Secrets bien configurados (nunca hardcodeados)
   ├── Dependency caching (pip cache, npm cache, go mod cache)
   ├── Matrix builds si aplica (3.10, 3.11, 3.12)
   └── Documentación en inglés técnico del pipeline

5. VERIFICAR
   ├── El workflow corre sin errores
   ├── Los secrets están configurados en GitHub/GitLab
   └── El caché funciona (segundo run es más rápido)

Patrones

  • Caching: siempre cachear dependencias entre runs
  • Secrets: usar GitHub Secrets / GitLab CI variables, nunca en el yaml
  • Fail fast: primero lint, después tests, después build
  • Matrix: testear contra 2-3 versiones del runtime
  • Trigger condicional: CI en PRs y push a main; CD solo en tags o main
  • Notificaciones: solo fallos, no saturar con éxitos

Anti-patrones

  • Hardcodear API keys o tokens en el workflow yaml
  • CI que tira warning pero pasa igual (poné --error-on-warning)
  • Deploy automático sin pasar por PR
  • Un solo workflow de 500 líneas — partí en workflows reusables
  • Cachear sin key — la cache se vuelve obsoleta

When not to use it

  • When API keys or tokens are hardcoded in the workflow yaml
  • When CI passes with warnings without `--error-on-warning`
  • When automatic deployment occurs without a PR

Limitations

  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.

How it compares

This skill provides a structured workflow and specific patterns for building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, contrasting with ad-hoc or unoptimized CI configurations.
