Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The gitlab-ci-patterns skill provides templates and best practices for configuring GitLab CI/CD pipelines. It helps users automate testing, building, and deployment processes by offering reusable configurations tailored to common development workflows.

When to use it

  • You need to set up a new CI/CD pipeline in GitLab for a project.
  • You want to optimize an existing pipeline with standard practices or patterns.
  • Your team is looking to streamline repetitive tasks like testing and deployment across multiple repositories.
  • You're onboarding new developers who are unfamiliar with GitLab CI/CD configuration.

Key capabilities

  • Provides reusable YAML templates for common CI/CD stages (e.g., build, test, deploy).
  • Includes best practices for organizing pipeline jobs and stages.
  • Offers guidance on integrating with external tools like Docker, Kubernetes, or testing frameworks.
  • Helps avoid common pitfalls in GitLab CI configuration.

Example prompts

  • "Create a GitLab CI pipeline for a Node.js application that runs tests and deploys to staging."
  • "Show me a template for a multi-stage pipeline including unit tests, integration tests, and deployment."
  • "How can I optimize my current GitLab CI configuration using best practices?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your project has the correct permissions and environment variables set up before applying templates.
  • Customize provided patterns to match your specific project requirements rather than using them as-is.
