cd-pipeline-generator
Generates deployment pipelines with environment promotion, approval gates, and rollback triggers based on target infrastructure. Use when wiring automated deployments from CI to staging/production, when the user asks for a release pipeline, or when adding promotion gates to an existing deploy workflow.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides specific capabilities (deployment pipelines, approval gates, rollback triggers), includes natural trigger terms users would actually say, explicitly states both what it does and when to use it, and carves out a distinct niche in the deployment/release automation space.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'deployment pipelines', 'environment promotion', 'approval gates', 'rollback triggers', and 'target infrastructure'. These are concrete, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Generates deployment pipelines with environment promotion, approval gates, and rollback triggers') AND when ('Use when wiring automated deployments from CI to staging/production, when the user asks for a release pipeline, or when adding promotion gates'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'automated deployments', 'CI', 'staging/production', 'release pipeline', 'promotion gates', 'deploy workflow'. Good coverage of terms across different user phrasings. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on deployment pipelines and release automation. Distinct triggers like 'release pipeline', 'promotion gates', 'rollback triggers' make it unlikely to conflict with general CI or infrastructure skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
92%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a high-quality skill that provides concrete, actionable guidance for generating CD pipelines. The tables mapping targets to deploy mechanisms and gate types are immediately useful, and the worked example is copy-paste ready. Minor improvement opportunity in progressive disclosure—edge cases like database migrations could link to dedicated resources rather than brief mentions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Every section earns its place with actionable tables, concrete examples, and zero fluff. No explanation of what CD is beyond the pithy 'CI plus consequences' framing—assumes Claude knows the basics. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable GitHub Actions YAML, concrete deploy commands per target type, and a complete worked example. The detection heuristics ('Dockerfile + k8s/ dir means Kubernetes') are immediately usable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear promotion ladder with explicit gates, validation via smoke tests after each deploy, and the 'Do not' section provides guardrails. The workflow_run trigger and environment protection rules create proper sequencing with checkpoints. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-structured with clear sections, but it's a single monolithic file. The reference to 'rollback-strategy-advisor' suggests related skills exist, but there's no clear navigation to supplementary materials for edge cases like migrations or canary deployments. | 2 / 3 |
