GitLab CI/CD and GLFM

Load each reference whose trigger matches the task:

• Pipeline Configuration - Load for include merge order, extends, needs, parallel:matrix, or compile-time expressions.
• CI/CD Components and Inputs - Load for component structure, testing, Catalog publication, version selection, consumption, component inputs, or pipeline inputs.
• GitLab Functions Core - Load for Function packages, definitions, job invocation, inputs, outputs, runtime expressions, environment, or composition.
• GitLab Functions OCI - Load only for OCI/file-system loading, OCI build/publication, registry authentication, or Function image tags.
• Obsolete Functions Migration - Load only when interpreting or migrating existing CI/CD Steps, step.yml, step:, step_dir, or job.<variable> syntax.
• Security and Deprecations - Load when reviewing untrusted includes/components, handling credentials, pinning dependencies, or modernizing deprecated CI syntax.
• GitLab CI Local - Load for local executors, input validation, include caching, --skip-input-validation, or --fetch-includes.
• GitLab Flavored Markdown - Load for documented GLFM syntax and rendering constraints.
• glab CLI - Load for existing-ref CI Lint or before composing glab API, repository, CI inspection, merge-request, token, or variable commands, especially on self-managed hosts.
• Automatic Tags and Releases - Load for automatic release intake, no-release or release branches, replaceable adapters, release-tag routing, composition, or universal checkpoint reporting; follow its conditional pointers for selected tools, destinations, and credentials.
• Release Live Evidence - Load only when the user requests live proof, sandbox IDs, observed failures, or evidence classification for the release lifecycle.

For uncovered CI/CD subjects, consult the official GitLab CI/CD documentation. For uncovered GLFM subjects, consult the official GitLab Flavored Markdown documentation. The existing-ref glab inspection branch is this skill's CI Lint operational authority.
