What problem does it solve? Setting up reliable CI/CD pipelines is error-prone: teams skip quality gates, hardcode secrets, deploy without rollback plans, and let slow pipelines erode trust in automation. This Skill provides a complete, opinionated framework for building pipelines that enforce lint, type checks, tests, builds, and security audits on every change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Quality Gate Pipelines: Ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflows covering lint, type checking, unit tests, builds, integration tests with PostgreSQL services, E2E tests with Playwright, and security audits. - Deployment Strategies: Guidance for preview deployments, feature flags, staged rollouts, and manual rollback workflows so every deployment is reversible. - CI Optimization & Feedback Loops: Strategies for caching, parallel jobs, and path filters to keep pipelines under 10 minutes, plus patterns for feeding CI failures back to AI agents for automated fixes. - Use Case: You are scaffolding a new React + Vite project and need branch protection, automated checks on every PR, and a staging-to-production deployment flow. This Skill gives you the exact YAML configurations and verification checklist to set it up correctly on day one. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up a GitHub Actions CI pipeline for this repository with lint, type check, tests, build, and a security audit as required status checks.
