SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Engineers editing GitLab CI pipelines often misuse `needs` and `dependencies`, causing jobs to bypass stage gates and deployments to start before tests finish. This Skill surfaces concise pipeline standards directly in the conversation so teams can check rules before editing `.gitlab-ci.yml`. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standards Summary Display: Shows a concise, human-readable summary of GitLab CI standards, including the `needs` vs `dependencies` decision rules. - Topic Filtering: Accepts optional topic arguments (e.g., `job-ordering`) and validates them, showing only the requested standards or all topics when none are given. - Use Case: Before adding `needs` to a deploy job, run the view command to confirm whether the dependency is in the same stage and avoid bypassing stage gates. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the GitLab CI job-ordering standards summary for the current pipeline.

FAQPage Schema

How do I view GitLab CI pipeline standards in Claude Code?▼

Run /gitlab-ci:standards-view to display a summary of all standards, or pass a topic like job-ordering to see only that section. Invalid topics return an error listing the valid options.

When should I use needs vs dependencies in GitLab CI?▼

Use needs only for ordering jobs within the same stage, and dependencies to fetch artifacts from earlier stages. Adding needs that point to an earlier stage bypasses stage gates, which can start production deployments before staging tests finish.

What topics are available in the GitLab CI standards view?▼

Currently the valid topic is job-ordering, covering pipeline job ordering with needs versus dependencies. Passing any other topic returns an error message listing the valid topics.

Can I view multiple GitLab CI standards topics at once?▼

Yes, pass multiple topic names as arguments, such as two or more valid topics, and only those sections are displayed. If no arguments are given, all available topics are shown.

Why does my GitLab CI job skip the stage gate?▼

A job skips stage gates when its needs keyword references a job in an earlier stage, letting it start as soon as that job finishes. Remove the cross-stage needs and use dependencies if you only need artifacts.
