Use when starting work in a repository under repositories/ that may lack CI configuration. Detects missing CI workflows (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and alerts the user to add one. Skips repos marked as research-only.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CI Guard

Repositories benefit from CI, but this skill is advisory. It checks for CI configuration and alerts when it is missing, while allowing research, prototypes, and intentionally local projects.

## When to Activate

- At session start, after repository status is reported
- When a user clones or creates a new repo under `repositories/`
- When running `/verify` or `/quality-gate` in a repo without CI

## How to Check

Run the check script against any repo:

```bash
uv run skills/ci-guard/scripts/check-ci.py <repo-path>
```

The script checks for common CI indicators and the research exemption.

## CI Indicators (any one is sufficient)

| Provider | Path |
|----------|------|
| GitHub Actions | `.github/workflows/` (with at least one `.yml`/`.yaml`) |
| GitLab CI | `.gitlab-ci.yml` |
| CircleCI | `.circleci/config.yml` |
| Jenkins | `Jenkinsfile` |
| Travis | `.travis.yml` |
| Azure | `azure-pipelines.yml` |

## Research Exemption

A repo is exempt from the CI requirement if:

1. A `.research` file exists in the repo root, OR
2. `pyproject.toml` contains `purpose = "research"` in `[project.optional]` or as a comment marker
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/ci-guard@sha256:fb60d4a0d4767395

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
