How does this skill improve CI/CD decision-making?

It performs deep analysis of TBC template schemas and YML files, providing evidence-based decision paths. Instead of guessing, it presents validated research options to the user through the AskUserQuestion tool, allowing for informed choices between templates, variants, and custom steps.

When should I use this skill in my workflow?

You should use this skill before generating any .gitlab-ci.yml files. It is ideal when you need to research TBC capabilities, decide between different templates, or verify if a custom CI/CD step is truly necessary or if a framework component already covers the use case.

Does it integrate with other Claude Code skills?

Yes, it is designed to work seamlessly with the 'building-with-tbc' skill for configuration generation and the 'identify-core-need' skill for initial requirement gathering, ensuring a complete end-to-end DevOps workflow.

What is the TBC Component Research skill?

This skill is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to evaluate GitLab To-Be-Continuous (TBC) templates and components. It helps determine the most efficient, framework-aligned approach for CI/CD requirements, reducing the need for manual script writing.

How does the 6-tier solution priority hierarchy work?

The skill enforces a strict hierarchy to ensure best practices: 1. Direct TBC template, 2. Template + existing variant, 3. Variant from another template, 4. New component, 5. New component + variant, and 6. Custom step. This disciplines the workflow to prefer standard framework solutions over custom code.

Evaluates GitLab To-Be-Continuous (TBC) templates and components to determine the most efficient, framework-aligned approach for CI/CD requirements.

概要

This skill provides a systematic framework for researching and selecting the optimal To-Be-Continuous (TBC) components before generating CI/CD configurations. It enforces a strict solution priority hierarchy—favoring standard templates and variants over custom scripts—to maintain project maintainability and follow industry best practices. By performing deep research into template schemas, job structures, and tool capabilities, it ensures users adopt the most robust official solution for their specific DevOps needs while providing clear evidence for every recommended path.
