github-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from open-gsd/gsd-pi. It costs 37 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of tools for GitHub Actions, the service that automatically runs tests, builds, and deployments from a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing workflows, checking action versions, listing and monitoring runs, reading failed logs, searching logs, viewing test summaries, and waiting for deployments.
Why use it?
It provides current workflow syntax and helps investigate failed or still-running automation jobs without relying on outdated instructions.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/ci_monitor.cjs <command>.

Good fit Writing workflows, checking action versions, listing and monitoring runs, reading failed logs, searching logs, viewing test summaries, and waiting for deployments.

About the project

GSD Pi is a command-line coding agent and project workflow system that plans, implements, verifies, and tracks software work through milestones, tasks, Git worktrees, and stored project notes. It is for developers who want structured, longer-running agent sessions using different model providers. The catalogue entries extend GSD Pi with skills and agents.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 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 18d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (references/gh/scripts/experiment_cleanup.py, references/gh/scripts/github_project_setup.py, references/gh/tests/__init__.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Workflows

Mission: Work with GitHub Actions without using stale training data. All syntax, versions, and parameters come from live sources.


Structural Principle

All CI operations go through ci_monitor.cjs. Never reach for gh CLI directly — the script wraps it with observable output.


Primary Tool: ci_monitor.cjs

Path: scripts/ci_monitor.cjs

node scripts/ci_monitor.cjs <command>

Before using any command:

  • Run --help to discover available arguments

Routing Table:

When You Need Command
List recent runs runs [--branch <name>]
Monitor running workflow watch <run-id>
Fail fast in scripts fail-fast <run-id>
See why run failed log-failed <run-id>
Test pass/fail counts test-summary <run-id>
Check action versions check-actions [file]
Search logs grep <run-id> --pattern <regex>
Wait for deployment wait-for <run-id> <job> --keyword <text>

Documentation Routing

Base URL: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/

Before writing any workflow syntax:

  • Fetch the relevant .md file from the URL above
  • Read only the section you need
Task File Section
Create workflow workflow-syntax.md name, on, jobs
Set triggers workflow-syntax.md on
Set permissions workflow-syntax.md permissions
Concurrency workflow-syntax.md concurrency

Output variables workflow-commands.md "Environment files"

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 open-gsd/gsd-pi (1,326 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 653 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
