## Overview

CircleCI is a cloud-native CI platform: YAML configs (`.circleci/config.yml`), Docker-based executors, orbs for reusable configuration, and workflows orchestrating jobs. It's known for fast Docker-layer caching, a polished UI, and strong parallelism — a solid choice for teams wanting managed CI without GitHub lock-in.

The keys to CircleCI: lean configs via orbs and executors, aggressive caching and parallelism, and contexts for secret scoping. This skill covers designing efficient CircleCI pipelines.

## When to use

- Setting up CI/CD on CircleCI.
- Designing configs (jobs, workflows, executors, orbs).
- Speeding up builds (caching, parallelism, Docker layer caching).
- Managing secrets with contexts.
- Deploying from CircleCI (approvals, OIDC).
- Optimizing credit consumption.
