Mlops Pipeline Design

Overview

Use this skill to design ML pipelines that are reproducible, governable, and promotion-safe.

Scope Boundaries

• Use this skill when the task matches the trigger condition described in description.
• Do not use this skill when the primary task falls outside this skill’s domain.

Shared References

• Promotion gate rules:
  • references/promotion-gate-rules.md

Templates And Assets

• Pipeline stage template:
  • assets/mlops-pipeline-stage-template.md

Inputs To Gather

• Required lifecycle stages and ownership model.
• Artifact lineage and reproducibility requirements.
• Promotion/rollback policy constraints.
• Failure handling and rerun expectations.

Deliverables

• Pipeline stage contracts with inputs/outputs/gates.
• Promotion criteria and rollback strategy.
• Audit-ready lineage and execution policy.

Workflow

1. Define stage contracts in assets/mlops-pipeline-stage-template.md.
2. Apply gate policy from references/promotion-gate-rules.md.
3. Validate success/failure branches and rerun behavior.
4. Confirm lineage traceability across stages.
5. Publish pipeline governance and operational ownership.

Quality Standard

• Every stage has explicit pass/fail gates.
• Promotion path is auditable and reversible.
• Artifact lineage remains intact end-to-end.

Failure Conditions

• Stop when stages are not reproducible or traceable.
• Stop when promotion criteria are ambiguous.
• Escalate when manual overrides lack governance controls.
