Which Docker build tools are supported?

The skill analyzes templates supporting various build environments including Kaniko (rootless), Buildah, and Docker-in-Docker (DIND).

Does this skill support AWS and GCP?

Yes, it provides documentation and templates for OIDC-based authentication with AWS ECR, Google Cloud, and HashiCorp Vault for secure secret management.

What is the to-be-continuous framework?

It is an open-source, modular collection of GitLab CI/CD templates that follow industry best practices for security, efficiency, and project modularity.

Is this applicable to self-managed GitLab instances?

Yes, the to-be-continuous framework and this skill's guidance are fully compatible with both GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab installations.

Can I use this for GitOps workflows?

Yes, the skill includes specific research paths for advanced continuous delivery, pull-based deployments, and GitOps strategies within GitLab.

Deployment & DevOps

Explores and implements the to-be-continuous GitLab CI/CD framework for standardized, production-grade pipeline automation.

About

This skill provides Claude with comprehensive access to the to-be-continuous (TBC) ecosystem, a high-quality collection of GitLab CI/CD templates. It enables the systematic analysis of modular templates for Docker builds using Kaniko or Buildah, advanced cloud authentication variants for AWS ECR, GCP, and HashiCorp Vault via OIDC, and established architectural patterns like GitOps. Developers can use this skill to quickly research best practices, troubleshoot complex pipeline configurations, and implement secure, adaptive delivery workflows that scale across polyglot environments.
