Wesley1600 Build Automation Skill
Automates build, test, and deployment processes using Bash scripts without loading build logic into context.
Description
This skill provides a complete CI/CD pipeline using Bash scripts. It handles building, testing, and deploying applications with proper error handling and reporting.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- User wants to build the project
- User requests running tests
- User wants to deploy the application
- User needs to set up a development environment
Usage
Full Pipeline
Execute the complete pipeline:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/pipeline.sh
This runs: build → test → deploy (if tests pass)
Individual Steps
Build only:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/build.sh
Test only:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/test.sh
Deploy only:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/deploy.sh
Setup environment:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/setup.sh
Clean artifacts:
bash .claude/skills/build-automation/scripts/bash/cleanup.sh
Script Reference
pipeline.sh
Executes the complete build pipeline with proper error handling.
Exit Codes:
- 0: Pipeline completed successfully
- 1: Build failed
- 2: Tests failed
- 3: Deployment failed
Output: Progress messages and final status
build.sh
Compiles the project and generates build artifacts.
Exit Codes:
- 0: Build successful
- 1: Build failed
Artifacts: Creates build/ directory with compiled files
test.sh
Runs the test suite and generates reports.
Exit Codes:
- 0: All tests passed
- 1: Tests failed
Output: Test results and coverage report
deploy.sh
Deploys the application (mock deployment in this example).
Environment Variables:
DEPLOY_ENV: Target environment (dev|staging|prod, default: dev)DEPLOY_DRY_RUN: If set, runs in dry-run mode
Exit Codes:
- 0: Deployment successful
- 1: Deployment failed
setup.sh
Sets up the development environment.
Actions:
- Creates necessary directories
- Checks dependencies
- Initializes configuration
cleanup.sh
Removes build artifacts and temporary files.
Actions:
- Removes
build/directory - Removes temporary files
- Cleans caches
Environment Configuration
Scripts use configuration from scripts/shared/config.env:
# Load configuration
source scripts/shared/config.env
Error Handling
All scripts:
- Exit on first error (set -e)
- Report clear error messages
- Return appropriate exit codes
- Log to both stdout and stderr
Examples
Example 1: Full build and deploy
bash scripts/bash/pipeline.sh
Example 2: Build for specific environment
DEPLOY_ENV=production bash scripts/bash/pipeline.sh
Example 3: Test in dry-run mode
DEPLOY_DRY_RUN=1 bash scripts/bash/deploy.sh
Example 4: Clean and rebuild
bash scripts/bash/cleanup.sh && bash scripts/bash/build.sh
Dependencies
- Bash 4.0+
- Standard Unix utilities (grep, sed, awk)
- Project-specific build tools (configured in setup.sh)
Security
- Scripts validate environment variables
- Dry-run mode for safe testing
- No destructive operations without confirmation
