Use when you need glab CLI patterns for GitLab — pipeline debugging, MR management, or release automation. Provides composable glab invocations for power users. NOT for GitHub (use the gh-cli skill) or simple git commands (use Bash).

GitLab CLI Power Utilities
Intelligent wrappers and patterns for GitLab CLI operations.
When to Use
- Debugging failed GitLab CI/CD pipelines
- Managing merge requests across projects
- Automating releases
- Bulk operations on issues/MRs
- Project health checks
Prerequisites
# macOS
brew install glab
# Or download from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli
# Authenticate
glab auth login
Core Capabilities
1. Pipeline Debugging
Get actionable errors from failed pipelines.
# Diagnose most recent failure
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" diagnose
# Specific project
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" diagnose --project group/project
# With suggested fixes
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" diagnose --suggest-fixes
Output: Job failures, error excerpts, timing info.
2. MR Operations
Merge request management at scale.
# List MRs needing review
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" mr-review-queue
# MRs ready to merge (approved + passing)
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" mr-merge-ready --dry-run
# MR health check
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" mr-status 123
3. Release Automation
Create releases with changelogs.
# Preview release
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" release --dry-run
# Create minor release
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" release --bump minor
# With custom notes
sh "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/_python.sh" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/platform/glab-cli/scripts/glab_ops.py" release --notes "Breaking: API v2"
Quick Patterns
# Watch pipeline
glab ci view --live
# Retry failed jobs
glab ci retry
# View job logs
glab ci trace <job-id>
# Create MR from current branch
glab mr create --fill
# Checkout MR locally
glab mr checkout 123
# View MR changes
glab mr diff 123
# Approve MR
glab mr approve 123
# Merge MR
glab mr merge 123 --squash --remove-source-branch
glab vs gh Quick Reference
| Task | GitHub (gh) | GitLab (glab) |
|------|-------------|---------------|
| Create PR/MR | gh pr create | glab mr create |
| List CI runs | gh run list | glab ci list |
| View CI logs | gh run view --log | glab ci trace |
| Watch CI | gh run watch | glab ci view --live |
| Retry CI | gh run rerun --failed | glab ci retry |
| Checkout PR/MR | gh pr checkout 123 | glab mr checkout 123 |
Integration
Works with:
- wicked-garden:search: Find code, create issues via glab
- Native tasks: Track MR status alongside tasks via TaskUpdate description appends

mikeparcewski/wicked-garden:classify
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 LLM-based work-shape classifier. Replaces the regex archetype detector with the model's own reasoning. Reads the user's prompt, picks the right archetype(s) from the catalog, identifies signals (blast_radius, novelty, reversibility, etc.), and persists to SessionState so subsequent turns steer correctly. Use when: the prompt_submit hook emitted a `<wg classify-due />` directive, OR explicitly invoked at session start, OR when re-classifying after the user changes scope mid-session.

mikeparcewski/wicked-garden:archetype
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 work-shape archetype runner. When a prompt has been routed to one of the 9 archetypes (triage, explore, specify, decide, ship, review, incident, build, migrate), this skill is the entry point. It picks the right per-archetype playbook from refs/ and executes the phase shape declared in `.claude-plugin/archetypes.json`. Use when: a `<wg archetype="X">` or `<wg archetypes>` system-reminder tag appears, an explicit "let's run the X archetype" request, or when one of the per-archetype slash commands resolves to this skill.

mikeparcewski/intent
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Show or set the session intent variable. Intent gates how loud the framework is — simple-edit (silent), feature/research (synthesis directive), rigor (full crew context). Auto-detected on turn 1; this skill overrides explicitly. Sticky for the session. Use when: "set intent", "intent override", "/wicked-garden:intent", "make the framework quiet", "force rigor", "what's my intent".
