# CI Validation Gates

Stop your release pipeline from shipping the wrong thing

## What this does

Release pipelines fail in familiar ways: a bad version number, a missing token, a step that flakes, a draft that goes out. This collects defensive patterns for CI/CD - semver validation, token checks, retry logic, draft detection - learned from a real release. Reach for it when you are hardening a pipeline that has burned you.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Add validation gates to my release pipeline
- Check versions and tokens before a release goes out
- Handle flaky steps and catch drafts before publish

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About CI Validation Gates

This gathers defensive CI/CD patterns: validating semver, checking tokens, adding retry logic, and detecting drafts.

The patterns were earned from the v0.8.22 release, so they address failure modes that actually happened rather than hypothetical ones.

## Questions

### Is CI Validation Gates safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of CI Validation Gates and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 03263be353ef, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/ci-validation-gates.

### How do I install CI Validation Gates?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/ci-validation-gates on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Thraka/SadConsole/tree/03263be353ef98f600bf1b018b3a84500d0bf3e6/.copilot/skills/ci-validation-gates.
