## What it does

This skill guides developers through CircleCI Chunk setup using either the web application or the `chunk-cli` terminal tool. The UI path assists with organization setup, model provider connections, and environment files. The CLI path targets terminal actions like `init`, `validate`, `build-prompt`, `auth`, `sandbox`, and `task`.

Every run begins by confirming project context, branch details, GitHub App integrations, and API key setups. Execution outputs always list what succeeded, what is still blocked, and the next safe command.

Because sandbox capabilities remain in private preview, access gates must be cleared before requesting those tasks.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill chunk -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/chunk/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill chunk -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/chunk/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/chunk/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/chunk/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins chunk
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/chunk/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/circleci/skills/chunk
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/chunk/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/circleci/skills/chunk/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Diagnose and fix broken CI/CD pipeline builds
- Set up chunk-cli commands and authentication
- Configure model providers and project environments in CircleCI
- Generate build prompts and context for pipeline tasks

## Example prompts
- Help me configure CircleCI Chunk for this repository using chunk-cli
- Inspect the failed build in CircleCI and recommend a fix
- Run chunk-cli validate on our current project setup

description: Use CircleCI Chunk for AI-assisted CI/CD work through either the Chunk web UI or the chunk-cli. Trigger this skill when users ask to set up Chunk, troubleshoot or fix failing builds with Chunk, configure Chunk environments, schedule/proactively run Chunk tasks, or use chunk-cli commands such as init, validate, build-prompt, auth, sandbox, task, and skill install.

# Chunk

## Overview

Use this skill to choose the best Chunk workflow (UI or CLI), then execute it with clear prechecks and safe defaults. Keep responses action-oriented and grounded in verified commands and setup requirements.

## Workflow

1. Classify the request path.
- Use UI path for org setup, model-provider onboarding, fix buttons, or environment selection in the CircleCI app.
- Use CLI path for terminal-based project setup, validation hooks, prompt/context generation, sandbox operations, or scripted task execution.
- Use mixed path when users want UI setup plus CLI execution in the same flow.
2. Gather minimum context.
- Confirm repository/project, branch, and whether GitHub integration is in place.
- Confirm whether the user is using CircleCI-managed model provider or bring-your-own keys.
- For CLI operations, confirm local OS compatibility and required tokens/auth.
3. Execute using the matching reference.
- For UI/setup flows, load [chunk-ui.md](references/chunk-ui.md).
- For CLI flows, load [chunk-cli.md](references/chunk-cli.md).
4. Close with verification.
- State what was configured or run, what remains blocked, and the next safest command or UI action.

## Guardrails

- Treat Chunk features as beta unless the user confirms otherwise.
- Never expose or log secret values (API keys, tokens, bearer credentials).
- Do not invent `chunk` subcommands or flags; stick to documented command families.
- If sandbox features are requested, call out private preview status and any access gate.
- If a task depends on org-level prerequisites (GitHub App install, org toggles, contexts), verify those first.

## Reference Map

- [chunk-ui.md](references/chunk-ui.md): CircleCI app setup, provider onboarding, fix buttons, environment file/setup, and operational troubleshooting.
- [chunk-cli.md](references/chunk-cli.md): Installation, command map, quick-start flows, auth/env variables, and platform constraints.

## Output Contract

Provide:

1. Path chosen (UI, CLI, or mixed) and why.
2. Steps executed with exact command/UI actions.
3. Required prerequisites not yet met.
4. Concrete next action to finish the user’s goal.
