Summary
Official GitHub Actions documentation lookup and workflow guidance grounded in current docs.
- Answers questions about workflow syntax, triggers, jobs, matrices, runners, reusable workflows, secrets, OIDC, and deployments by retrieving and citing exact GitHub docs pages
- Classifies requests into eight categories (getting started, authoring, runners, security, deployments, custom actions, monitoring, migration) to route to the most relevant documentation
- Provides YAML examples and step-by-step guidance only when the user requests them or when the docs page makes examples necessary
- Explicitly routes non-Actions questions (PR operations, CI failure triage, CodeQL, Dependabot) to more specialized skills
SKILL.md
GitHub Actions questions are easy to answer from stale memory. Use this skill to ground answers in official GitHub documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic CI/CD advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- GitHub Actions concepts, terminology, or product boundaries
- Workflow YAML, triggers, jobs, matrices, concurrency, variables, contexts, or expressions
- GitHub-hosted runners, larger runners, self-hosted runners, or Actions Runner Controller
- Artifacts, caches, reusable workflows, workflow templates, or custom actions
- Secrets,
GITHUB_TOKEN, OpenID Connect, artifact attestations, or secure workflow patterns - Environments, deployment protection rules, deployment history, or deployment examples
- Migrating from Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, Travis CI, Azure Pipelines, or other CI systems
- Troubleshooting workflow behavior when the user needs documentation, syntax guidance, or official references
