What problem does it solve? Teams often ship code through ad-hoc pipelines with unclear gates, leaked secrets, and red builds that get blindly retried instead of diagnosed. This Skill provides a structured method for designing, gating, and triaging continuous integration and delivery pipelines so every promotion is controlled and every failure has a cause. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pipeline Stage Design: Defines build, test, package, and deploy stages, each with an owner and a gate. - Gating and Trigger Policy: Establishes which gates block merges and which block environment promotions. - Failure Triage: Distinguishes flaky, broken, and slow pipeline signals and drives failures to a root cause instead of blind retries. - Use Case: When a project's main branch pipeline keeps failing intermittently, use this Skill to isolate the failing stage, classify the signal as flaky versus broken, and record a triage outcome with a fix or escalation. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to design a gated CI/CD pipeline with build, test, package, and deploy stages for your project, including secret-handling rules and a failure triage process.
