github-actions-cicd

github-actions-cicd is a skill for Claude Code from atretyak1985/swarmery. It costs 78 tokens per session (5,691 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating, reviewing, and fixing GitHub Actions workflows, which automate checks, builds, security scans, and deployments. It covers workflows that build container images and deploy them to AWS services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or repair type checks, linting, tests, builds, security jobs, summaries, and AWS ECR or ECS deployment workflows.
Why use it?
It helps keep automated workflows consistent across repositories and catches errors in job order, checks, builds, or deployment steps. It also clarifies which AWS deployment details belong in the workflow.

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-cicd 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 419 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Author, review, and debug the GitHub Actions workflows that drive the project's repositories. Produce workflow YAML that matches the established CI job graph, the AWS ECR/ECS deploy contract, and the standardized workflow set each repo ships — so a workflow in any repo is recognizable from any other.

Read the project's shape from project.json (repos/monorepo) — this skill covers both; the examples below use a multi-repo layout. Each repository owns its own .github/workflows/ directory and runs the same standardized set of workflows. The application repos (e.g. the API repo — project.jsonmainApp — a NestJS service, plus the client/admin/vendor/mobile repos) build container images; the infrastructure repo carries its own ci.yml + deploy.yml.

Cloud is AWS — images go to ECR, services run on ECS with a rolling, force-new-deployment update. There is no GCP, no Kubernetes, no Helm, and no GitOps controller anywhere in this pipeline. Deploys are imperative aws ecs update-service calls followed by a stability poll.

When to use

  • Adding or modifying a job in a repo's ci.yml (type-check, lint, test, build, security, summary).
  • Writing or fixing the ECR build/push + ECS force-new-deployment flow in deploy-prod.yml.
  • Bringing a repo's workflow set in line with the standard (ci.yml, deploy-prod.yml, nightly.yml, version-bump.yml, secret-scan.yml, dependabot-lockfix.yml, branch-protection.yml).
  • Debugging a failing Actions run — a red CI job, a deploy that never reaches ECS stability, a workflow_run trigger that didn't fire.
  • Tuning concurrency, permissions, the Node/service-container matrix, or the $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY aggregation.
  • Reviewing a PR that touches any file under .github/workflows/.

When NOT to use

  • AWS OIDC trust, the assumed IAM role, ECR repository permissions, or the AWS_ROLE_ARN federation setup — use aws-cicd-auth. This skill consumes those secrets; it does not define the cloud-side trust.
  • Dockerfile authoring or image-build mechanics (layer caching, build args, multi-stage, image size) — use docker-build. This skill only invokes docker build/docker push; it does not own the Dockerfile.
  • ECS task definition / service / cluster provisioning (infrastructure-as-code) — out of scope; the workflow assumes the cluster and service already exist.
  • Application code, tests, or lint rules themselves — this skill wires the commands (npm run typecheck, npm run test:cov), it does not write them.
  • Prometheus/Grafana CI metrics — use monitoring.

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.
