## What it does

The skill generates `Jenkinsfile` configurations for declarative and scripted pipelines. It references pre-built templates in `assets/templates/` alongside examples for parallel stages and Kubernetes agents. For reusable code, the skill scaffolds Jenkins Shared Library structures via `scripts/generate_shared_library.py`.

Declarative pipelines are the default choice. Generated files include timeout options, workspace cleanup, and credentials binding inside the `environment` block. It enforces best practices directly in code: parallel stages receive `failFast true`, and archived artifacts include `fingerprint: true`. Security stages can include tools like SonarQube or Trivy.

Validation relies entirely on the `devops-skills:jenkinsfile-validator` skill. Without that validator installed, automated syntax verification cannot run.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill jenkinsfile-generator -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill jenkinsfile-generator -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill jenkinsfile-generator -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills jenkinsfile-generator
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill jenkinsfile-generator -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --path devops-skills-plugin/skills/jenkinsfile-generator
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill jenkinsfile-generator -a opencode
```

### 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/akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills/tree/HEAD/devops-skills-plugin/skills/jenkinsfile-generator/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Generate a declarative Jenkinsfile for Maven, Gradle, or npm builds
- Configure Jenkins agent execution inside Kubernetes pods
- Add parallel test stages with fail-fast behavior
- Scaffold folder structures for a Jenkins Shared Library
- Integrate SonarQube or Trivy scans into deployment pipelines

## Example prompts
- Generate a declarative Jenkinsfile for Node.js with parallel test stages
- Create a scripted pipeline with manual approval before production deployment
- Scaffold a Jenkins shared library structure for package org.example

# Jenkinsfile Generator Skill

Generate production-ready Jenkinsfiles following best practices. All generated files are validated using devops-skills:jenkinsfile-validator skill.

## Trigger Phrases
- "Generate a CI pipeline for Maven/Gradle/npm"
- "Create a Jenkins deployment pipeline with approvals"
- "Build a Jenkinsfile with parallel test stages"
- "Create a scripted pipeline with dynamic stage logic"
- "Scaffold a Jenkins shared library"
- "Generate a Jenkinsfile for Docker or Kubernetes agents"

## When to Use
- Creating new Jenkinsfiles (declarative or scripted)
- CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes deployments
- Parallel execution, matrix builds, parameterized pipelines
- DevSecOps pipelines with security scanning
- Shared library scaffolding

## Declarative vs Scripted Decision Tree
1. Choose **Declarative** by default when stage order and behavior are mostly static.
2. Choose **Scripted** when runtime-generated stages, complex loops, or dynamic control flow are required.
3. Choose **Shared Library scaffolding** when request is about reusable pipeline functions (`vars/`, `src/`, `resources/`).
4. If unsure, start Declarative and only switch to Scripted if requirements cannot be expressed cleanly.

## Template Map
| Template | Path | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Declarative basic | `assets/templates/declarative/basic.Jenkinsfile` | Standard CI/CD with predictable stages |
| Declarative parallel example | `examples/declarative-parallel.Jenkinsfile` | Parallel test/build branches with fail-fast behavior |
| Declarative kubernetes example | `examples/declarative-kubernetes.Jenkinsfile` | Kubernetes agent execution using pod templates |
| Scripted basic | `assets/templates/scripted/basic.Jenkinsfile` | Complex conditional logic or generated stages |
| Shared library scaffold | Generated by `scripts/generate_shared_library.py` | Reusable pipeline functions and organization-wide patterns |

## Quick Reference

```groovy
// Minimal Declarative Pipeline
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') { steps { sh 'make' } }
        stage('Test') { steps { sh 'make test' } }
    }
}

// Error-tolerant stage
stage('Flaky Tests') {
    steps {
        catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'UNSTABLE') {
            sh 'run-flaky-tests.sh'
        }
    }
}

// Conditional deployment with approval
stage('Deploy') {
    when { branch 'main'; beforeAgent true }
````
