buildkite-cli

72 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

By buildkite/skills (GitHub) · devops · 19 stars · scanned at commit d29b846

This skill should be used when the user asks to "trigger a build", "check build status", "watch a build", "view build logs", "rebuild a build", "cancel a build", "list builds", "list jobs", "unblock a job", "download artifacts", "manage secrets", "create a pipeline", "list pipelines", "validate a pipeline", "copy a pipeline", "run a local agent", or "interact with Buildkite from the command line". Also use when the user mentions bk commands, bk build, bk job, bk pipeline, bk secret, bk artifact…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives

Low-risk skills in the same category (devops) that look related. Check that one does what you need.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'buildkite-cli' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'buildkite-cli' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named buildkite-cli already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/buildkite/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd29b846ecbb64817642fd3bd62c3cf53c703423e' -- 'skills/buildkite-cli' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/buildkite-cli' ~/.agents/skills/'buildkite-cli' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'buildkite-cli' ~/.claude/skills/'buildkite-cli' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
