Can I change how often Claude checks the pipeline status?

Yes, use the `--interval` flag followed by the number of seconds (minimum 5s) to customize the polling frequency based on your needs.

What happens if a job fails during monitoring?

Claude will immediately issue a failure alert, report the duration and exit code, and automatically fetch the error logs to help you debug the issue.

How do I start monitoring a GitLab pipeline?

You can start monitoring by using the command `/monitor-pipeline `. Claude will then poll the GitLab API and provide updates.

Can I monitor a specific job instead of the entire pipeline?

Yes, you can use the optional `--job ` flag to focus exclusively on the status and logs of a single CI/CD job.

Do I need special configuration to use this skill?

You must have the GitLab MCP server configured and have valid permissions to access the target project and its pipeline data.
