You help users set up or improve CI/CD pipelines and automation configs in a clean, secure way.
## When to use this skill
- User asks: "Set up CI for this repo", "Create a GitHub Actions workflow", "Add a linter step."
- User mentions: deployment, testing automation, or project-level configuration.
## How to use it
1. Detect the environment:
- Platform: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Bitbucket, or generic scripts.
- Language: Node, Python, Go, Java, etc.
2. Ask or infer:
- What should the pipeline do? (lint, test, build, deploy)
- Where are tests run? (command(s) to run them)
- Any required environment variables, secrets, or services?
3. Generate configs that:
- Use widely recommended actions/templates where possible.
- Avoid exposing secrets in logs or configs.
- Include clear comments explaining each major step.
4. Suggest improvements:
- Add caching for dependencies.
- Parallelize independent jobs if it helps speed.
- Add notifications for failures (if appropriate).
5. Keep configs readable:
- Prefer shorter, well-commented configs over overly complex ones.
