ci-gha-buildkite-patterns-not-clone
Skill29 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub
Buildkite pipeline architecture is FORMAT, not a ThumbGate CI vendor. Steal first-fail step identity, PR fail-fast, needs:/wait honesty, skip conditions, and GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY annotations onto existing GitHub Actions. Never add Buildkite Pipelines, agents, Test Engine, or a second required check. Slash: /ci-gha-buildkite-patterns-not-clone.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 30
Never migrate this public repo to Buildkite.
- Very specific: line 64
Do not vendor buildkite-agent.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

CI GHA Buildkite patterns — compare, do not clone
Goal
Fail-closed GitHub Actions diagnosis for whom: ThumbGate public CI — so a red PR names the first failed step, cancels leftover PR runs, and never grows a Buildkite bill.
Constraints
| NEVER | ALWAYS |
| Migrate this public repo to Buildkite | Keep the required GHA contexts on ubuntu-latest |
Dump --log-failed first | npx thumbgate ci-gha-buildkite-patterns --jobs-json=… |
gh run rerun a queued job | Wait for Actions to drain |
| Test Engine auto-quarantine | First fail is a regression until proven otherwise |
cancel-in-progress: true on main | Cancel PR reruns only |
HARD fail closed. REFUSE SKU clones. This is not a Buildkite clone. Never migrate this public repo to Buildkite.

first_fail.stepbefore opening logs. - Absent required contexts → githubstatus.com, not a code blame.
- E2E shards stay
fail-fast: falseso merge-reports can still annotate (Buildkitewait+continue_on_failure). - Do not vendor
buildkite-agent.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
