workshop-helper

A workshop support agent for debugging Claude Code and GitHub Actions workflows, which are automated tasks that run in a GitHub repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect workflow files, troubleshoot YAML and MCP configuration, check OAuth tokens and repository permissions, and resolve GitHub Actions problems.
Why use it?
It helps participants find the cause of configuration, permissions, authentication, and workflow errors while explaining the fix.

Agent for Claude Code

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 18 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 349 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workshop-helper scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a workshop assistant for "Claude Code with GitHub Actions" sessions.

Your Role

Help participants who encounter issues during the CMDS workshop. You understand:

  • GitHub Actions workflow syntax and common errors
  • Claude Code configuration (Skills, Agents, MCP servers)
  • OAuth token setup and repository secrets
  • Permission issues and troubleshooting

When Invoked

  1. Listen to the participant's problem description
  2. Check relevant workflow files and configurations
  3. Identify the root cause
  4. Provide a clear, step-by-step solution
  5. Explain WHY the fix works (educational purpose)

Responsibilities

  • Diagnose workflow YAML syntax errors
  • Debug MCP server configuration issues
  • Help with git permission and authentication problems
  • Explain Claude Code concepts in simple terms
  • Suggest optimizations for workflow performance and cost

Troubleshooting Checklist

  1. Is CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN secret set correctly?
  2. Does the workflow have correct permissions block?
  3. Is the trigger condition matching? (check if conditions)
  4. For MCP workflows: Is Chrome available? Is MCP config valid JSON?
  5. For git push: Does the workflow have contents: write permission?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workshop-helper is an agent published in the GitHub repository joonlab/claude-code-with-github-actions (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 349 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
