CircleCI Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/circleci-automation

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

CircleCI Automation via Rube MCP Automate CircleCI CI/CD operations through Composio's CircleCI toolkit via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate CircleCI tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): trigger pipelines, monitor workflows/jobs, retrieve artifacts and test metadata. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

   responds
2. Call

   RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS

   with toolkit

   circleci

3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete CircleCI authentication

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Trigger a Pipeline

When to use: User wants to start a new CI/CD pipeline run

Tool sequence:

1. CIRCLECI_TRIGGER_PIPELINE

   - Trigger a new pipeline on a project [Required]

2. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID

   - Monitor resulting workflows [Optional]

Key parameters:

• project_slug

  : Project identifier in format

  gh/org/repo

  or

  bb/org/repo

• branch

  : Git branch to run the pipeline on

• tag

  : Git tag to run the pipeline on (mutually exclusive with branch)

• parameters

  : Pipeline parameter key-value pairs

Pitfalls:

• project_slug

  format is

  {vcs}/{org}/{repo}

  (e.g.,

  gh/myorg/myrepo

  )

• branch

  and

  tag

  are mutually exclusive; providing both causes an error
• Pipeline parameters must match those defined in

  .circleci/config.yml

• Triggering returns a pipeline ID; workflows start asynchronously

2. Monitor Pipelines and Workflows

When to use: User wants to check the status of pipelines or workflows

Tool sequence:

1. CIRCLECI_LIST_PIPELINES_FOR_PROJECT

   - List recent pipelines for a project [Required]

2. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID

   - List workflows within a pipeline [Required]

3. CIRCLECI_GET_PIPELINE_CONFIG

   - View the pipeline configuration used [Optional]

Key parameters:

• project_slug

  : Project identifier in

  {vcs}/{org}/{repo}

  format

• pipeline_id

  : UUID of a specific pipeline

• branch

  : Filter pipelines by branch name

• page_token

  : Pagination cursor for next page of results

Pitfalls:

• Pipeline IDs are UUIDs, not numeric IDs
• Workflows inherit the pipeline ID; a single pipeline can have multiple workflows
• Workflow states include: success, running, not_run, failed, error, failing, on_hold, canceled, unauthorized

• page_token

  is returned in responses for pagination; continue until absent

3. Inspect Job Details

When to use: User wants to drill into a specific job's execution details

Tool sequence:

1. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID

   - Find workflow containing the job [Prerequisite]

2. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS

   - Get detailed job information [Required]

Key parameters:

• project_slug

  : Project identifier

• job_number

  : Numeric job number (not UUID)

Pitfalls:

• Job numbers are integers, not UUIDs (unlike pipeline and workflow IDs)
• Job details include executor type, parallelism, start/stop times, and status
• Job statuses: success, running, not_run, failed, retried, timedout, infrastructure_fail, canceled

4. Retrieve Build Artifacts

When to use: User wants to download or list artifacts produced by a job

Tool sequence:

1. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS

   - Confirm job completed successfully [Prerequisite]

2. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_ARTIFACTS

   - List all artifacts from the job [Required]

Key parameters:

• project_slug

  : Project identifier

• job_number

  : Numeric job number

Pitfalls:

• Artifacts are only available after job completion
• Each artifact has a

  path

  and

  url

  for download
• Artifact URLs may require authentication headers to download
• Large artifacts may have download size limits

5. Review Test Results

When to use: User wants to check test outcomes for a specific job

Tool sequence:

1. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS

   - Verify job ran tests [Prerequisite]

2. CIRCLECI_GET_TEST_METADATA

   - Retrieve test results and metadata [Required]

Key parameters:

• project_slug

  : Project identifier

• job_number

  : Numeric job number

Pitfalls:

• Test metadata requires the job to have uploaded test results (JUnit XML format)
• If no test results were uploaded, the response will be empty
• Test metadata includes classname, name, result, message, and run_time fields
• Failed tests include failure messages in the

  message

  field

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active CircleCI connection via

  RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS

  with toolkit

  circleci

• Always call

  RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS

  first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @circleci-automation-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @circleci-automation-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @circleci-automation-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @circleci-automation-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/circleci-automation

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Project Slug Format

Format: {vcs_type}/{org_name}/{repo_name}
- GitHub:    gh/myorg/myrepo
- Bitbucket: bb/myorg/myrepo

Pipeline -> Workflow -> Job Hierarchy

1. Call CIRCLECI_LIST_PIPELINES_FOR_PROJECT to get pipeline IDs
2. Call CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID with pipeline_id
3. Extract job numbers from workflow details
4. Call CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS with job_number

Pagination

• Check response for

  next_page_token

  field
• Pass token as

  page_token

  in next request
• Continue until

  next_page_token

  is absent or null

Imported: Known Pitfalls

ID Formats:

• Pipeline IDs: UUIDs (e.g.,

  5034460f-c7c4-4c43-9457-de07e2029e7b

  )
• Workflow IDs: UUIDs
• Job numbers: Integers (e.g.,

  123

  )
• Do NOT mix up UUIDs and integers between different endpoints

Project Slugs:

• Must include VCS prefix:

  gh/

  for GitHub,

  bb/

  for Bitbucket
• Organization and repo names are case-sensitive
• Incorrect slug format causes 404 errors

Rate Limits:

• CircleCI API has per-endpoint rate limits
• Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
• Avoid rapid polling; use reasonable intervals (5-10 seconds)

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
