ci-speedup skillA
ci-speedup is agent-read markdown (skill) from mblode/agent-skills: Cuts the wait from push to green by measuring a pipeline's critical path from run timestamps, then splitting, sharding, trimming setup and sharing test module state, with a before/after ledger. Use when asked to "speed up CI", "CI is slow", "why does a PR take 15 minutes", "CI is the bottleneck", or when agents merge faster than checks finish. For a red build use pr-babysitter; for a new package's pipeline use scaffold-cli..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# CI Speedup Make the wait from push to green shorter, measured, and written down. - **IS:** measuring a pipeline's critical path from run timestamps, choosing the levers that shorten it, changing workflow and test configuration, and recording before and after with the trend that says when the next round is due. - **IS NOT:** getting a red build green (`pr-babysitter`), writing a pipeline for a package that has none (`scaffold-cli`), or general repository hygiene. ## What Changes the Number Wall-clock is the slowest chain of dependent jobs, not their sum. The number is push to green for one pull request, median and p90 over recent runs. Around five minutes an agent loop stops waiting on checks and the bottleneck moves to deploy and review. A lever that saves runner minutes off the critical path is a cost saving, and the ledger records it as one. Three ratios decide what to do next: - **Setup tax.** Checkout, runtime, dependencies, and service boot, per job. 110 seconds of setup around 60 of work is a batching candidate; around 400 it is a sharding candidate. Each shard adds a setup, so cut setup before adding shards. …

How to install
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/ci-speedup@git:20260922.c263f55mdr add mblode/agent-skills/ci-speedup@sha256:60b6840992ad68f7Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
