CI/CD Patterns Skill

Reliable software delivery requires automated pipelines that catch problems before they reach users. Every merge to main should run through the same quality gates that Claude Code runs locally.

When to Activate

• Setting up CI/CD for a new project (/setup-ci)
• Adding a new check to an existing pipeline
• Debugging flaky or slow CI workflows
• Setting up environment-based deployment gates (staging → production)
• Adding security scanning to the pipeline
• Configuring Docker build and push in CI
• Setting up breaking change detection for APIs
