Local Action Verification with act

You are setting up a repository so that Jules (or any agent) can run GitHub Actions workflows locally using act to verify code changes pass CI before pushing.

What You're Setting Up

Two scripts and an agents.md section that enable local CI verification:

  1. install-act.sh — Installs act if missing (platform-aware, sudo fallback)
  2. run-act.sh — Runs act in the background with log polling to avoid agent timeouts
  3. AGENTS.md section — Instructions Jules reads to know how to use these scripts

Setup Steps

Step 1: Copy scripts to the repository

Copy the scripts/ directory from this skill into the target repository at scripts/act/:
