Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.01654 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00662 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00331 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00165 |
Grade A, and why
bumping-github-actions 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.
This is a copy
89% identical to github-actions-bumping-github-actions — 35 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bumping GitHub Actions
Audit uses: pins, research each upgrade against real release notes,
land one commit per action, and close dependabot's pull requests by
citing the commit that superseded them.
References:
../../references/action-pinning.md: inventory, tag verification, SHA resolution, pin shape, and per-repo gates.../../references/dependabot-closeout.md: closing protocol, CI attribution, and scope discipline.../../references/commit-and-push.md: exact edits, staging, hooks, branch reuse, push eligibility, and publication readback.../../references/throwaway-worktree.md: landing commits from a repository checked out on a feature branch.../../references/output-shapes.md: every reply shape and the rules that apply to all of them.
Core principle
Verify the target tag exists before writing it. A pin naming a tag that does not resolve breaks every workflow that references it, in every repo, at once. Everything else here is recoverable.
Phase 1: Inventory
Resolve each default branch and read every pin from it, following the
pinning reference (which also holds the scope rule). Two helpers do the
deterministic work; their paths resolve from this skill's directory
(../../scripts/pins.py and ../../scripts/fleet.py), so print each
absolute path once and write it literally in each command. fleet.py discover
lists the repositories under --root with their owner and scope;
pins.py inventory reads each clone path or slug. Record per pin:
repository, default branch, file, action, current version. An inventory the
helper reports as incomplete is never "every pin": the pinning reference says
what to do.
If nothing is found, stop with the blocked shape.
Phase 2: Resolve and verify
A pin to a moving branch (@main, @master) is reported under Drift and
not bumped, unless the user names a target.
For each distinct action, resolve the latest version (pins.py latest), choose a target
that preserves the repository's pin shape (an exact patch stays exact; the
pinning reference covers repinning to a float), and confirm the tag exists
(pins.py tag; for a SHA pin, pins.py sha). Nothing proceeds on an unverified
tag. A lookup that failed (auth, rate limit, network) is "could not be
checked", never "missing".
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

bumping-github-actions is a skill published in the GitHub repository tony/skills (0 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,654 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to github-actions-bumping-github-actions, differing in 35 lines, and is treated as a copy.
