# Drone CI Container-Native Ephemeral Pipelines

Configures Drone CI: writing .drone.yml, running each build step inside an isolated Docker container, pipeline volume mounts, secret management, Docker-in-Docker (DinD) services, and integrating with GitHub/Gitea.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- write .drone.yml
- configure drone ci secrets
- run drone pipeline local exec

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Create .drone.yml with kind: pipeline and type: docker.
2. Define steps array specifying name, image, and commands.
3. Access secure environment variables using from_secret syntax.
4. Test pipeline execution locally on development machine: drone exec --trusted.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
