What problem does it solve?

Rails teams working in regulated or on-premises environments that prohibit managed CI services like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI struggle to build secure, maintainable Jenkins pipelines that align with Rails conventions, avoid common security pitfalls, and integrate with standard Rails tooling without excessive custom Groovy code or fragile configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Production-ready Declarative Jenkinsfile: Pre-vetted template with Docker-based agents, parallel RSpec, RuboCop, Brakeman, and bundle-audit stages, manual deploy gates, and proper timeout/retry settings aligned with Rails workflows.
• Enterprise compliance guardrails: Built-in patterns for secure credential management via Jenkins Credentials store, OIDC cloud integration, plugin hygiene practices, and agent isolation to meet regulatory requirements for air-gapped or on-prem deployments.
• Use Case: A Rails team at a financial services firm that cannot use cloud CI can use this skill to generate a compliant Jenkins pipeline that runs all test and security checks in parallel, handles Postgres/Redis services via docker-compose, and deploys to production via Kamal with no hardcoded secrets.

Quick Start

Use the ci-cd-jenkins-rails skill to generate a production-ready declarative Jenkinsfile for your Rails app that includes parallel test and security stages, Docker agent configuration, and secure credential handling for Kamal deployment.
