Integrates with third-party code repos (GitHub, GitLab).</li>\n<li>Cloud Build: trigger-based build from Alibaba Cloud code repos or webhooks. Build environment: managed containers or custom ECS-based agents.</li>\n<li>Flow: visual pipeline with stage dependencies, gate conditions (manual approval, test pass), and automated rollback on failure. Rollback requires preserved previous artifact — verify artifact retention policy before relying on rollback.</li>\n<li>ACR: image lifecycle policies can auto-delete old tags — verify retention rules before modifying. Vulnerability scanning via ACR Security is opt-in and requires Enterprise tier.</li>\n<li>ACR image tags are mutable by default — production deployments must use digest-pinned references (<code>image@sha256:...</code>) to prevent tag mutation attacks.</li>\n<li>Deployment Sets enforce spread across physical failure domains — required for HA deployments on ECS.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Lean operating rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer official Alibaba Cloud documentation and live evidence over memory or inference.</li>\n<li>Separate confirmed facts from inference. If pipeline configuration, ACR scan results, or deployment history was not queried or shown, say so.</li>\n<li>Challenge deployments to production without staging verification, mutable image tags in production, pipelines without rollback artifacts, and Flow pipelines without gate conditions.</li>\n<li>Keep answers scoped, reversible, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.</li>\n<li>Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the full CI/CD review, pipeline design, or formatting the final answer.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when grounding Alibaba Cloud RDC or ACR service behavior or checking the detailed source list.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scoped target and evidence level,</li>\n<li>the pipeline stage coverage and gate condition assessment,</li>\n<li>the ACR image lifecycle and security scanning findings,</li>\n<li>the environment promotion and rollback path review,</li>\n<li>the safest next actions with validation steps,</li>\n<li>the assumptions or blockers that prevent stronger conclusions.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":921,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":570,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1530,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3780,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
