ci-test-job-conventions

Overview

Per-CI platform skills (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / CircleCI) cover how to express workflows. This skill covers what to express - the cross-platform conventions that apply regardless of CI tool.

When to use

• Designing the CI test workflow for a new repo or service.
• Auditing an existing CI config for anti-patterns - retries that mask flake, no concurrency-cancel, artifacts retained forever.
• PR review of a workflow / .gitlab-ci.yml / Jenkinsfile change.
• Standardizing test-job conventions across teams on different CI tools.
