# Tekton Pipelines Kubernetes-Native CI/CD Tasks

Constructs Tekton CI pipelines: defining reusable Tasks and Pipelines, PipelineRuns with workspaces and volumeClaimTemplates, integrating git-clone and kaniko tasks, and monitoring with Tekton Dashboard.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- write tekton pipeline
- create tekton task
- run tekton pipelinerun

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Define Task manifests with spec.steps declaring container images and commands.
2. Define Pipeline manifests stitching Tasks together with runAfter dependencies.
3. Trigger pipeline execution: tkn pipeline start my-pipeline --showlog.
4. Inspect pipeline task execution and step statuses via Tekton Dashboard UI.

## 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.
