Description
gitlab-ci-patterns is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for building GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, building and deployment. It focuses on efficient pipeline design: multi-stage workflows with a sensible stage order, caching so repeated work is not redone on every run, and distributed runners that spread jobs across machines so pipelines scale as a project grows. The skill starts with the basic structure of a pipeline and then covers deployment strategies, including deploying to Kubernetes from GitLab and implementing GitOps workflows. It also covers configuring GitLab Runners, which execute the jobs. The skill applies when automating a project on GitLab, implementing multi-stage pipelines, configuring runners, deploying to Kubernetes from a GitLab pipeline, or setting up GitOps-style deployments. It is written for engineers who maintain CI/CD configuration and want pipelines that are fast, predictable and easy to read. Because pipeline configuration depends on the project's own languages, environments and deployment targets, the agent uses the skill as a pattern guide and fits it to the repository in front of it. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 12.8K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
