github-workflows

A set of instructions for managing Android build and release workflows in GitHub Actions. GitHub Actions is GitHub's service for automatically running tasks such as builds and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain workflows that build APK or AAB files, run tests, upload build results, download artifacts, and investigate Play Store publishing.
Why use it?
It helps organize and troubleshoot the automation that builds Android apps, stores build files, and supports release steps.

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-workflows 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 2d ago.

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.

GitHub Workflows Skill

This skill provides instructions for managing, extending, and troubleshooting the GitHub Actions workflows in the automated-build-android-app-with-github-action project.

Workflow Overview

The repository contains several workflows located in .github/workflows/:

  1. Android CI (Main):
    • android-ci-generate-apk-aab-upload-push-github.yml: Builds APK/AAB and pushes the results to the buildActionResult folder in the repository.
    • android-ci.yml: Basic CI for building and testing.
  2. Artifact Management:
    • android-ci-generate-apk-aab-upload.yml: Builds and uploads artifacts to GitHub Actions.
    • android-ci-generate-apk-aab-download.yml: Research workflow for downloading artifacts.
  3. Deployment:
    • android-ci-publish-play-store.yml: (In research) Template for publishing to Google Play Store.

Key Environment Variables

Each workflow uses common environment variables defined at the top of the file:

  • main_project_module: Usually app.
  • playstore_name: Display name for the app (e.g., Frogobox ID).
  • build_output_path: Directory where build results are stored (e.g., buildActionResult).

Common Tasks

Adding a New Build Step

To add a new Gradle task to a workflow, insert a new step in the jobs.build.steps section:

- name: Your Task Name
  run: ./gradlew yourTaskName

Modifying the Output Directory

If you want to change where the APKs/AABs are pushed in the repository, update the build_output_path env variable.

Triggering Workflows

  • Push: Workflows are typically triggered on push to release/** branches.
  • Manual: Use workflow_dispatch to trigger manually from the GitHub Actions tab.

Troubleshooting

  • Permissions: Ensure ./gradlew has execution permissions (chmod +x ./gradlew).
  • JDK Version: Workflows use JDK 17 by default. Ensure compatibility with your Gradle version.
  • Secrets: Deployment workflows require secrets like SIGN_KEY, ALIAS, STORE_KEY_PASSWORD, and KEY_PASSWORD.

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.

github-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository amirisback/automated-build-android-app-with-github-action (339 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 515 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 2026-08-30.
