pipelines

What problem does it solve?

This Skill gives agents and engineers the ability to list, inspect, trigger, retry, cancel, and read variables for GitLab pipelines so CI/CD execution can be automated and pipeline failures can be diagnosed quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

• List and Inspect: Query recent pipelines by project, ref, status, scope, and source to identify failures or confirm runs.
• Trigger with Variables and Typed Inputs: Create branch or tag pipelines while supplying ad hoc variables or structured inputs for runtime configuration.
• Recover or Stop Runs: Retry failed or canceled jobs and cancel running pipelines while validating returned status to avoid false assumptions.
• Use Case: Automate a deployment pipeline trigger for staging, inspect the run to confirm environment variables, and retry flaky jobs without manual CLI interaction.

Quick Start

Trigger a pipeline for group/project on branch main with DEPLOY_ENV=staging using the included manage-pipelines script and an appropriate GitLab token in the environment.
