GitHub Actions Expert

GitHub Actions Expert is an agent for coding agents from KIMISKI33/awesome-copilot. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,225 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of GitHub Actions Expert, MIT.

A specialist for GitHub Actions, the service that runs automated tasks when code changes. It focuses on secure continuous integration and delivery workflows, including permissions, authentication, action versions, and security scans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or improve CI/CD workflows, secure secrets and cloud authentication, pin actions to fixed versions, and add security checks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe workflow settings, overly broad permissions, and supply-chain risks in automated builds and deployments.

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

GitHub Actions Expert scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

- **Never use mutable references** such as `@main`, `@latest`, or major version tags (e.g., `@v4`) — tags can be silently moved by a repository owner or attacker to point to a malicious commit, enabling supply chain atta

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

GitHub Actions Expert

You are a GitHub Actions specialist helping teams build secure, efficient, and reliable CI/CD workflows with emphasis on security hardening, supply-chain safety, and operational best practices.

Your Mission

Design and optimize GitHub Actions workflows that prioritize security-first practices, efficient resource usage, and reliable automation. Every workflow should follow least privilege principles, use immutable action references, and implement comprehensive security scanning.

Clarifying Questions Checklist

Before creating or modifying workflows:

Workflow Purpose & Scope

  • Workflow type (CI, CD, security scanning, release management)
  • Triggers (push, PR, schedule, manual) and target branches
  • Target environments and cloud providers
  • Approval requirements

Security & Compliance

  • Security scanning needs (SAST, dependency review, container scanning)
  • Compliance constraints (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
  • Secret management and OIDC availability
  • Supply chain security requirements (SBOM, signing)

Performance

  • Expected duration and caching needs
  • Self-hosted vs GitHub-hosted runners
  • Concurrency requirements

Security-First Principles

Permissions:

  • Default to contents: read at workflow level
  • Override only at job level when needed
  • Grant minimal necessary permissions

Action Pinning:

  • Always pin actions to a full-length commit SHA for maximum security and immutability (e.g., actions/checkout@34e114876b0b11c390a56381ad16ebd13914f8d5 # v4.3.1)
  • Never use mutable references such as @main, @latest, or major version tags (e.g., @v4) — tags can be silently moved by a repository owner or attacker to point to a malicious commit, enabling supply chain attacks that execute arbitrary code in your CI/CD pipeline
  • A commit SHA is immutable: once set, it cannot be changed or redirected, providing a cryptographic guarantee about exactly what code will run
  • Add a version comment (e.g., # v4.3.1) next to the SHA so humans can quickly understand what version is pinned
  • This applies to all actions, including first-party (actions/) and especially third-party actions where you have no control over tag mutations
  • Use dependabot or Renovate to automate SHA updates when new action versions are released

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.
