github-actions-expert

github-actions-expert is a skill for Cursor from roedyrustam/vibes-plug. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,897 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to creating GitHub Actions workflows. GitHub Actions is GitHub's service for automatically running jobs such as checks, builds, tests, and publishing when code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up pull-request checks, reusable workflows, matrix builds across platforms, dependency caching, cloud authentication, artifact publishing, and pinned or restricted actions.
Why use it?
It helps organise repeatable CI/CD work, where continuous integration checks changes and continuous delivery prepares or publishes software, while addressing credentials, permissions, caching, and release safety.

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-expert 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 today.

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 Actions Expert (Enterprise CI/CD Standard 2026)

English | Bahasa Indonesia


English

Orchestration & Integration

Connects with: brainstorming, zero-to-prod-orchestrator, ci-cd-devops-architect, e2e-testing-expert, autonomous-tdd-debugger, production-ready-hardener, anti-slop, zero-trust-secret-vault, cloud-hosting-expert, session-memory-manager.

Description

Enterprise-grade guide for engineering hardened, high-performance Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines on GitHub Actions. Covers deterministic dependency caching (pnpm/bun/uv/cargo), reusable workflows (workflow_call), composite actions (using: 'composite'), dynamic multi-platform matrix builds, OpenID Connect (OIDC) cloud federation for AWS/GCP/Azure with zero long-lived credentials, immutable action pinning by commit SHA, fine-grained GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, concurrency control, artifact attestation, and npm/OCI provenance publishing.

Trigger Conditions

  • Designing, scaffolding, or modernizing .github/workflows/ pipelines.
  • Implementing automated PR verification: linting, type-checking, unit tests, and E2E gates.
  • Setting up reusable workflows (workflow_call) or modular composite actions.
  • Hardening CI/CD security: replacing long-lived tokens with OIDC federation.
  • Pinning third-party GitHub Actions to immutable full commit SHAs.
  • Configuring concurrency groups with cancel-in-progress: true to prevent queue bloat.
  • Generating build provenance and software bills of materials (SBOM).
  • Automating multi-platform release builds, semantic versioning, and package publishing.

What's New in 2026 (Modern GitHub Actions Standard)

1. Security & Governance First
  • Zero Static Credentials: All cloud deployments must use OpenID Connect (OIDC) federated role assumption via permissions: id-token: write.
  • Full SHA Action Pinning: Never use @v4 or @main tags in production workflows. Pin exact 40-character commit SHAs with inline human-readable comments (e.g. actions/checkout@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683 # v4.2.2).
  • Least-Privilege Token Permissions: Workflows must declare top-level permissions: {} (deny all) and elevate only specific job scopes (contents: read, pull-requests: write, etc.).
  • Software Supply Chain Provenance: Automated SLSA Level 3 attestations using actions/attest-build-provenance.

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.
