github-actions-security

github-actions-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from konstruktoid/prescryb. It costs 147 tokens per session (4,137 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A guide for writing and reviewing GitHub Actions automation. GitHub Actions runs development and deployment tasks when events such as code changes occur.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to secure workflows, reusable workflows, and composite actions with limited token permissions, fixed action versions, safe triggers, and safer data handling.
Why use it?
It helps reduce risks from excessive permissions, untrusted event data, unsafe runners, and mutable third-party actions in automation workflows.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

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 C, and why

github-actions-security scanned grade C 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 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
