github-actions-efficiency

github-actions-efficiency is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RorroRojas3/awesome-claude-copilot. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,000 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of github-actions-efficiency, MIT.

Guidance for examining GitHub Actions workflows, which automate tasks such as testing and deployment, for unnecessary work. It identifies ways to make those jobs run faster and less often.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review workflow files, inspect recent runs, establish a baseline, and assess caching, concurrency, path filters, job conditions, and build matrices.
Why use it?
It helps reduce wasted CI runs, execution time, and usage costs caused by unsuitable triggers, caches, matrices, or job setup.

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-efficiency 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 3d 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Actions Efficiency

Use this skill as a lean entrypoint for GitHub Actions efficiency work. Inspect the repo, identify the waste source, and load only the reference material needed for the current task.

If no workflows exist yet, load references/actions.md and define a baseline before proceeding with the steps below.

If shell or gh CLI access is unavailable: ask the user to paste .github/workflows/ contents and gh run list --limit 10 output. If only partial files are provided, note it: "Audit based on provided files only; some insights may be incomplete." Begin responses from files alone with: "Static-only analysis (not confirmed with live runs)."

Use This Skill When

  • The user wants to reduce GitHub Actions runtime, CI cost, or wasted workflow runs.
  • The repo has existing workflows in .github/workflows/ or explicit GitHub Actions configuration questions.
  • The user asks for caching, concurrency, path filters, matrix reduction, job optimization, or workflow-specific fixes.
  • The user needs help creating a new GitHub Actions workflow or CI baseline from scratch.

Load Only What You Need

Core Workflow

1. Measure first

rg -n "on:|concurrency:|paths:|paths-ignore:|strategy:|matrix:|cache:" .github/workflows
gh run list --limit 10
run_id=$(gh run list --limit 1 --json databaseId --jq '.[0].databaseId')
gh run view "$run_id" --log-failed

Look for: missing dependency caches, missing concurrency cancellation, over-broad triggers, duplicate workflow coverage, and expensive jobs that run on every change regardless of scope.

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.
