Use when creating, modifying, or debugging Buildkite pipeline YAML files - ensures current syntax from official docs, validates configurations before proposing changes, and references Buildkite best practices instead of relying on training data.
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
# Developing Buildkite Pipelines
## Overview
Read the matching file under `references/` before writing or changing pipeline YAML or `pipeline.rb`. Training data lags Buildkite's current syntax, plugin options, and deprecations.
## Working with Plugins
### Before Modifying Plugin Configuration
When editing pipeline steps that use plugins:
1. **Identify plugins** - Note all `plugins:` entries in the step
2. **Determine source:**
- Default org `buildkite-plugins` if no org specified
- Parse explicit org from `{org}/{plugin}#version` format
3. **Load documentation:**
- **Cached:** Check [references/plugins/{plugin-name}.md](references/plugins/)
- **Official (not cached):** Fetch from Buildkite directory or GitHub
- **Internal:** Fetch README from `github.com/{org}/{plugin}-buildkite-plugin`
4. **Match versions** - If pipeline specifies version, fetch that version's docs from GitHub tag
### Fetching Plugin Documentation
**Buildkite directory (latest):**
```
https://buildkite.com/resources/plugins/{org}/{plugin-name}-buildkite-plugin
```
**GitHub README (version-specific):**
```
https://github.com/{org}/{plugin-name}-buildkite-plugin/tree/{version}
```

How to install
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/developing-pipelines@sha256:d0654d8ed1488ed8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.8d13327, 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.
