In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review workflows in .github/workflows, run builds across multiple environments, reuse workflow logic, and automate deployments.
Why use it?
It helps create reliable CI/CD pipelines and find risky or incomplete workflow settings, such as unpinned actions, broad permissions, or missing time limits.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

ghactions 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 4d 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.

GHACTIONS — GitHub Actions Expert

Activate When

  • User invokes /godmode:ghactions
  • User says "create workflow", "add GitHub Actions"
  • User says "matrix build", "reusable workflow"
  • User mentions .github/workflows/ or action.yml
  • Project needs CI/CD on GitHub Actions

Workflow

Step 1: Discover Repository Context

# Detect existing workflows
ls .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null

# Audit current actions
grep -rh "uses:" .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null \
  | sort -u

# Find unpinned actions (security risk)
grep -rn "uses:.*@v[0-9]" .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null

# Find missing permissions declarations
grep -L "permissions:" .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null

# Find missing timeouts
grep -L "timeout-minutes:" .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null
REPOSITORY CONTEXT:
  Workflows: <list>
  Language: <detected>, Package Manager: <npm|pnpm>
  Test: <jest|vitest|pytest>, Linter: <eslint|ruff>
  Monorepo: yes/no, Environments: staging|production

IF no workflows: create from scratch
IF unpinned actions: pin to SHA immediately
IF missing permissions: add explicit per-job
IF missing timeouts: add to every job

Step 2: Triggers & Filtering

KEY TRIGGERS:
  push (CI on merge), pull_request (PR checks)
  schedule (nightly), workflow_dispatch (manual)
  workflow_call (reusable), release (publish)

RULES:
  Use paths/paths-ignore to skip irrelevant workflows
  IF docs-only change: skip test workflow
  IF monorepo: trigger per-package via paths

Step 3: Job Structure & Matrix

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 10
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@<SHA>
      - uses: actions/setup-node@<SHA>
        with: { node-version: '20', cache: 'npm' }
      - run: npm ci && npm run lint

  test:
    needs: lint
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    timeout-minutes: 15
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest]
        node-version: [18, 20, 22]

Step 4: Caching & Optimization

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.
