CI/CD Pipeline Builder

CI/CD Pipeline Builder

Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: DevOps / Automation

Overview

Use this skill to generate pragmatic CI/CD pipelines from detected project stack signals, not guesswork. It focuses on fast baseline generation, repeatable checks, and environment-aware deployment stages.

Core Capabilities

• Detect language/runtime/tooling from repository files
• Recommend CI stages (lint, test, build, deploy)
• Generate GitHub Actions or GitLab CI starter pipelines
• Include caching and matrix strategy based on detected stack
• Emit machine-readable detection output for automation
• Keep pipeline logic aligned with project lockfiles and build commands

When to Use

• Bootstrapping CI for a new repository
• Replacing brittle copied pipeline files
• Migrating between GitHub Actions and GitLab CI
• Auditing whether pipeline steps match actual stack
• Creating a reproducible baseline before custom hardening

Key Workflows

1. Detect Stack

python3 scripts/stack_detector.py --repo . --format text
python3 scripts/stack_detector.py --repo . --format json > detected-stack.json

Supports input via stdin or --input file for offline analysis payloads.

2. Generate Pipeline From Detection
