gitlab-ci SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

gitlab-ci from nordz0r/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nordz0r/skills/gitlab-ci@git:20261013.df0a08f

Pins git:20261013.df0a08f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Self-hosted GitLab CI: .gitlab-ci.yml, MR pipelines, kaniko, CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE, when:manual, rules, runners, docker:dind. Not GitHub Actions and not generic Terraform. Triggers: gitlab-ci, gitlab runner, .gitlab-ci.yml, kaniko, CI_REGISTRY, dind, pipeline failed, include:component, пайплайн, сборка, раннер, гитлаб.

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

# GitLab CI

Skill for GitLab CI/CD, especially self-hosted. Write YAML and runner commands
that can be rolled out right away.

Do not use it for GitHub Actions (`gh-actions`), and do not use it instead of
`docker-ops` when the task is only about a Dockerfile without a pipeline.

## When to use

- Build or fix `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
- Job failed, YAML invalid, runner offline, dind cannot see docker.sock.
- Registry login, tag, push.
- include/templates/components, rules, workflow, needs.
- Runner: docker/shell/k8s executor, tags, privileged, tokens.

## Workflow

1. Pin down GitLab and the runner: instance version, executor, tags, protected.
2. Read the pipeline as a DAG: `stages` vs `needs`, `rules`, `workflow:rules`.
3. Do not use deprecated `only:`/`except:` — `rules:` only.
4. Pin images and tags. `image: docker:latest` is not acceptable.
5. Secrets: masked/protected CI variables, Vault, file-type variables.
   No `CI_JOB_TOKEN` into another project without an explicit job token allowlist.
6. Verify: pipeline editor / `glab ci lint`, then an empty MR pipeline,
   then a deploy job with `when: manual` for prod.

## Minimal skeleton

```yaml
workflow:
  rules:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nordz0r/skills/gitlab-ci@sha256:f9e43db376e4f7ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.df0a08f, 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.
