SKILL.md

name: gitlab-docs description: > Use this skill to look up GitLab documentation at docs.gitlab.com using WebFetch. Trigger when the user asks about GitLab CI/CD pipelines and .gitlab-ci.yml syntax, rules: / needs: / extends: / trigger:, CI/CD components and spec:inputs:, CI job tokens and fine-grained permissions, runners and executors (Docker, Kubernetes, Shell) and autoscaling, GitLab Duo / Duo Agent Platform / Duo Chat / Duo Code Review, container registry hardening and immutable tags, REST or GraphQL API, merge requests and approvals, protected branches, SAST / DAST / dependency scanning, administration topics, or GitLab self-managed vs SaaS differences. Also trigger for questions like "where is the GitLab doc for X", "find the docs.gitlab.com page on Y", or any request to look something up in GitLab's official documentation.

GitLab Docs Lookup

Navigate and fetch documentation from docs.gitlab.com to answer questions about GitLab features, CI/CD pipelines, runners, API, and administration. This skill encodes the GitLab docs structure so the agent can construct direct links and retrieve relevant documentation.

Intent Router

Quick Start

Key URL Patterns

The GitLab docs are organized around these top-level sections:

  • Base: https://docs.gitlab.com/
  • CI/CD: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/
  • Pipeline config: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/
  • Runners: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/
  • API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/rest/
  • User docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/user/
  • Administration: https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/

How to Look Up Documentation

  1. Identify the topic (CI/CD, runners, API, user features, admin tasks)
  2. Start with the appropriate section URL from above
  3. Use WebFetch to load the page and extract relevant details
  4. When the specific page is unknown, load the quick-reference to find the most common pages
  5. For version-specific docs, insert /<version>/ (e.g. the GitLab release number running on the target instance) between the base URL and the path. The canonical list of currently supported releases and end-of-life dates is at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/maintenance.html; docs.gitlab.com without a version segment defaults to the current stable release.
# Navigate to a specific CI/CD keyword by constructing its URL
# Pattern: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/#<keyword>
Use WebFetch on https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/ to browse all .gitlab-ci.yml keywords

Common WebFetch Patterns

Use WebFetch on https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/ to fetch the .gitlab-ci.yml reference
Use WebFetch on https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/variables/ to look up predefined variables
Use WebFetch on https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/ to find runner installation guides
Use WebFetch on https://docs.gitlab.com/api/rest/users.html to retrieve API endpoint docs
