What is unique about the GLFM documentation support?

The skill enforces non-negotiable rendering rules for GitLab, such as lowercase alert types ([!note]), single-line collapsible sections, and Mermaid diagram integration. It even uses a validation script to ensure documentation looks perfect on GitLab UI.

How does this skill improve my GitLab pipeline performance?

It implements advanced caching strategies, minimizes build times through optimized job dependencies, and uses modular includes. It also validates syntax and tests pipelines locally to prevent failing builds from reaching your remote repository.

What does the GitLab CI/CD & Documentation skill do?

This skill equips Claude Code with specialized expertise for GitLab environments. It allows the model to write optimized .gitlab-ci.yml configurations, enforce strict GitLab Flavored Markdown (GLFM) syntax for documentation, and manage pipelines via the glab CLI.

Does it support the GitLab CLI (glab)?

Yes, it specifically focuses on non-interactive GitLab CLI operations. It avoids interactive TUIs that can hang AI sessions, instead using clean commands to monitor pipeline status, lint configurations, and retrieve job logs directly in the terminal.

Can Claude debug GitLab CI/CD jobs locally with this skill?

Yes. The skill includes specific procedures for 'gitlab-ci-local', enabling Claude to execute and troubleshoot jobs on your local machine. This allows for faster iteration without waiting for remote runners or wasting CI minutes.

GitLab CI/CD & GLFM Documentation

About

This skill provides specialized expertise for GitLab environments, focusing on the creation of high-performance CI/CD pipelines and high-quality project documentation. It enforces technical best practices for .gitlab-ci.yml configuration—such as dependency caching, security masking, and modular includes—while ensuring that documentation adheres to strict GitLab Flavored Markdown rendering rules. By utilizing tools like gitlab-ci-local and the glab CLI, it enables developers to validate pipeline logic locally and monitor remote workflows efficiently, reducing build failures and improving repository maintainability.
