Will it help with managing flaky tests or runner failures?

The skill guides you through implementing robust retry configurations and 'allow_failure' logic to manage unstable job outcomes without breaking the entire pipeline.

Can it help with large, unmanageable configuration files?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for splitting monolithic configurations into modular, reusable files using the 'include' and 'extends' keywords.

How does this skill improve pipeline speed?

It implements Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) using the 'needs' keyword and parallel matrix execution to run independent jobs concurrently rather than sequentially.

Does it address CI/CD security concerns?

Absolutely. It includes best practices for protected pipelines, environment-specific rules, and the secure handling of masked and protected variables.
