What ci-cd does

This skill provides workflow architectures for Node.js, Python, Go, and Docker builds. It organizes pipelines into sequential stages: fast linter checks first, followed by unit testing, artifact generation, and deployment gates. It also incorporates DevSecOps patterns, promoting OIDC authentication for AWS instead of static credentials alongside SAST and SCA scanning tools like CodeQL or Semgrep.

To resolve sluggish builds, the guidance focuses on dependency caching via actions/cache, path filters, and matrix test sharding. When runs fail, it outlines a systematic debug path using gh run inspect commands, debug logging variables, and local step reproduction using act or clean Docker containers.

Running the bundled workflow evaluation script scripts/pipeline_analyzer.py requires a local Python 3 installation.

What it helps with

configure OIDC authentication for cloud deployments
cut pipeline runtime with dependency caching and matrix builds
integrate SAST and secret scanning into pull request checks
diagnose intermittent job timeouts and failed test runs

Example prompts for the agent

Convert our GitHub Actions deploy step to use OIDC with AWS instead of static tokens.
Help me debug a flaky test step and configure act to reproduce it locally.
Set up a GitLab CI pipeline for a Go application with dependency caching.
