# Structure a fast, honest CI pipeline > Stage ordering that fails cheap and fast: lint → unit → build → integration → deploy gates. **Track:** ☁️ DevOps & Cloud · **Domain:** CI/CD · **Level:** intermediate · **~35 min** **Who this is for:** DevOps Engineers, SREs, Cloud Architects, Platform Engineers ## When to Use This Skill Stage ordering that fails cheap and fast: lint → unit → build → integration → deploy gates. Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand. ## Steps 1. Fail cheapest first: format+lint under 2 minutes before anything heavy 2. Parallelize independent suites; cache dependencies by lockfile hash 3. Run builds with strict env mirroring production 4. Gate deploys on required checks only; no manual memory of 'it passed locally' 5. Upload artifacts (coverage, bundles) visible in PR checks 6. Keep total pipeline under 10 min p95; split flaky suites out for quarantine ## Common Pitfalls - Everything sequential behind one slow integration suite - Cache keys ignoring lockfiles causing phantom dependency bugs ## Success Signals - p95 pipeline under 10 minutes - Flake rate below 1% ## Commands **Install with skills CLI** ```bash npx skills add aniruddhaadak80/skills --skill ci-cd-pipeline-stages ``` **Install globally** ```bash npx skills add aniruddhaadak80/skills --skill ci-cd-pipeline-stages -g ``` --- Part of [aniruddhaadak80/skills](https://github.com/aniruddhaadak80/skills) · Browse all a
