Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, testing, and automating Jenkinsfile pipelines (both Declarative and Scripted). Use this skill when working with Jenkins pipeline files, validating pipeline syntax, checking best practices, debugging pipeline issues, or working with custom plugins.

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing Kubernetes YAML resources. Use this skill when validating Kubernetes manifests, debugging YAML syntax errors, performing dry-run tests on clusters, or working with Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) that require documentation lookup.

Inspect pod logs, analyze resource quotas, trace network policies, check deployment rollout status, and run cluster health checks for Kubernetes. Use this skill when diagnosing Kubernetes cluster issues, debugging failing pods, investigating network connectivity problems, analyzing resource usage, troubleshooting deployments, or performing cluster health checks.

Split large implementation plan documents into digestible, hierarchical structures with descriptive names. Use when refactoring monolithic planning docs, organizing phase documentation, or creating contributor-friendly task breakdowns. Triggers: "split this plan", "organize phases", "break down implementation docs", "create task hierarchy".

Comprehensive toolkit for generating best practice Helm charts and resources following current standards and conventions. Use this skill when creating new Helm charts, implementing Helm templates, scaffolding Chart.yaml and values.yaml, defining deployment templates, service definitions, ingress configurations, .tpl helpers, or building Helm projects from scratch. Trigger phrases include "create", "generate", "build", "scaffold" alongside terms like "kubernetes helm", "k8s charts", "helm package", "chart dependencies", "values.yaml", or "helm install".

Validates .gitlab-ci.yml syntax, detects security misconfigurations in job definitions, checks for deprecated keywords, ensures proper stage ordering, and audits pipeline configurations for best practices. Use when working with .gitlab-ci.yml files, validating GitLab CI/CD pipeline syntax, debugging configuration errors, checking for hardcoded secrets or credentials in pipeline jobs, optimizing pipeline performance with DAG or cache, or performing security audits on GitLab CI/CD configurations.

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, and testing GitHub Actions workflow files, custom local actions, and public actions. Use this skill when working with GitHub Actions YAML files (.github/workflows/*.yml), validating workflow syntax, testing workflow execution with act, or debugging workflow issues.

Generates production-ready GitHub Actions workflows, custom actions, and CI/CD configurations following security and performance standards. Creates CI/CD pipelines, test workflows, deployment configurations, matrix builds, caching strategies, composite actions, Docker actions, JavaScript actions, and reusable workflows. Use when creating or scaffolding GHA resources, writing .github/workflows YAML files, setting up build automation, implementing deployment pipelines, adding security scanning, or building reusable actions — including triggers like 'create a workflow', 'build a pipeline', 'add CI', 'set up GHA', or 'generate a YAML workflow'.

Creates .gitlab-ci.yml files, configures pipeline stages, defines CI jobs and runners, sets up deployment workflows, and generates reusable GitLab CI/CD templates following current best practices and security standards. Use when users ask to create or build a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, CI config, build pipeline, deploy pipeline, GitLab YAML, CI jobs, or any .gitlab-ci.yml configuration from scratch or for a new project.

Validates, lints, and secures Dockerfiles by running syntax checking, detecting security vulnerabilities, validating layer ordering, checking for hardcoded secrets, verifying base image tags, and analyzing build optimization. Use when validating Dockerfile syntax, checking security best practices, optimizing image builds, auditing container security, or debugging Dockerfile errors. Applies to all Dockerfile variants (Dockerfile, Dockerfile.prod, Dockerfile.dev, etc.).
