Reviews CI test pipeline configuration for gating, sharding, parallelism, fail-fast, artifact retention, and flaky-test quarantine. Useful for debugging slow or unreliable CI.

This skill reviews how a CI pipeline runs tests — not the tests themselves, but the pipeline that decides whether they block a merge. A test suite only protects the main branch if the pipeline runs it, runs it on the merge gate, fails the build when it fails, and finishes fast enough that developers do not route around it. The review catches non-blocking test steps, soft-failure escape hatches,...
This skill reviews how a CI pipeline runs tests — not the tests themselves, but the pipeline that decides whether they block a merge. A test suite only protects the main branch if the pipeline runs it, runs it on the merge gate, fails the build when it fails, and finishes fast enough that developers do not route around it. The review catches non-blocking test steps, soft-failure escape hatches, missing required-check enforcement, un-sharded slow suites, fail-fast that hides parallel failures, missing artifacts, and quarantine lanes wired so that quarantined tests silently never run again.

npx claudepluginhub raishin/vanguard-frontier-agentic --plugin vanguard-frontier-agenticAnalyzes GitHub Actions and GitLab CI configurations for structure issues, caching efficiency, security risks, performance optimizations, and best practices. Useful for auditing and improving CI/CD pipelines.
Audit an existing CI/CD pipeline for slowness, security issues, and reliability gaps. Use when asked to "audit pipeline", "why is CI slow", "pipeline review", or "deployment review".
Designs and optimizes CI/CD pipelines: stage structure, test parallelization, artifact management, and performance tuning. Useful when building or improving a pipeline.
