SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need for defensive patterns in CI/CD workflows, ensuring robust and reliable release processes by enforcing semantic versioning, token validation, retry logic, and draft detection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Versioning Validation: Ensures that only valid versions are published, avoiding common versioning errors.
  • Token Type Verification: Protects against security risks by using Automation tokens instead of User tokens.
  • Retry Logic: Handles registry propagation delays for npm publish commands.
  • Draft Release Detection: Ensures workflows trigger only on published releases.
  • Build Script Protection: Safeguards release builds by preventing the mutation of versions.

Quick Start

Run the ci-validation-gates skill to implement CI/CD defensive patterns in your pipelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate semantic versions in a CI/CD pipeline?

Validate semantic versions in a CI/CD pipeline by enforcing defensive patterns that check formatting before publishing. This prevents common versioning errors and ensures only valid versions are released to registries.

Why does npm publish fail due to registry propagation delays and how do I handle it?

Registry propagation delays cause npm publish to fail when subsequent commands run before the registry updates. Implement retry logic in your CI/CD workflow to handle these delays and ensure reliable release processes.

How do I prevent CI/CD workflows from triggering on draft releases?

Prevent CI/CD workflows from triggering on draft releases by implementing draft detection logic. This ensures your pipelines only execute on published releases, avoiding premature or invalid build deployments.

What is the best way to secure release builds and verify automation tokens?

Secure release builds by verifying token types to ensure automation tokens are used instead of user tokens. Additionally, apply build script protection to safeguard against the mutation of release versions during execution.

Can I add retry logic to CI/CD pipelines without external dependencies?

Yes, you can add retry logic to CI/CD pipelines without external dependencies. The skill provides scripts to implement defensive patterns directly, handling propagation delays and securing workflows natively.

What defensive patterns should I use to mitigate security vulnerabilities in release workflows?

Mitigate security vulnerabilities in release workflows by applying defensive patterns including token type verification, version validation, and build script protection. These patterns safeguard against version mutation and unauthorized token usage.
