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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.jenkins.io.

    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.

  • 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 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

About this skill

What it does

The Jenkinsfile Validator skill analyzes Jenkinsfile syntax and structure to identify potential errors before a pipeline is executed. It checks for common mistakes, ensuring pipelines are valid and preventing build failures due to configuration issues. This skill helps improve the reliability and efficiency of CI/CD processes by proactively catching problems in Jenkinsfiles.

When to use it

  • Pre-commit Checks: Integrate into your development workflow to validate Jenkinsfile changes before they're committed to version control.
  • Pipeline Creation: Use when initially creating or modifying a Jenkinsfile to ensure correct syntax and structure.
  • Troubleshooting Build Failures: Quickly identify if an invalid Jenkinsfile is the root cause of build failures in your CI/CD pipeline.
  • Automated Pipeline Review: Incorporate into automated review processes for Jenkinsfile changes, providing immediate feedback to developers.

Key capabilities

  • Syntax validation of Jenkinsfiles
  • Structural analysis of pipelines
  • Error detection and reporting
  • Integration with development workflows

Example prompts

  • "Validate this Jenkinsfile: [paste Jenkinsfile content]"
  • "Check the syntax of my pipeline definition."
  • "Is there anything wrong with this Jenkinsfile?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a valid Jenkinsfile as input. The skill cannot create or write Jenkinsfiles; it only validates existing ones.
  • The accuracy of validation depends on the complexity and correctness of the Jenkinsfile itself.
