vmark: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/workflow-audit/SKILL.md

workflow-audit is a skill for Claude Code from xiaolai/vmark. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,477 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A checklist and process for reviewing GitHub Actions workflow files. GitHub Actions is GitHub's system for running automated builds, tests, deployments, and other jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate workflow YAML, inspect action versions, review security hardening, check unattended operation, diagnose CI failures, and receive concrete fixes for findings.
Why use it?
It finds correctness, security, and reliability problems before workflows are committed or after they fail. It checks both individual files and consistency across workflows.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

workflow-audit 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 2mo 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.

Workflow Audit

Comprehensive audit of .github/workflows/*.yml files against GitHub Actions best practices, security hardening guidelines, and project conventions.

When to Use

  • User asks to audit, review, or check workflows
  • Before committing changes to any workflow file
  • After a workflow failure that needs root-cause analysis
  • Periodic health check (e.g., monthly)

Workflow

  1. Discover — Glob .github/workflows/*.yml and list all workflow files.
  2. Parse — Read each file; validate YAML syntax.
  3. Audit — Run every check in the checklist below against each file.
  4. Cross-check — Run cross-workflow consistency checks.
  5. Report — Output a findings table sorted by severity (critical > high > medium > low).
  6. Fix offer — For each finding, suggest a concrete fix (diff or instruction).

Audit Checklist

1. YAML Validity

  • File parses as valid YAML.
  • No duplicate keys at the same level.
  • No tabs (GitHub Actions requires spaces).

2. Action Version Currency

Check every uses: line.

Pattern Severity Rule
actions/checkout@v4 or lower critical Upgrade to @v6. Node.js 20 actions break June 2, 2026 (forced to Node 24).
actions/setup-node@v4 or lower critical Same — upgrade to @v6.
actions/cache@v3 or lower high Upgrade to @v4.
pnpm/action-setup@v3 or lower high Upgrade to @v4.
softprops/action-gh-release@v1 medium Upgrade to @v2.
actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 or lower medium Upgrade to @v3.
actions/deploy-pages@v3 or lower medium Upgrade to @v4.
Any @main or @master pin high Pin to a tag or SHA — mutable refs are a supply-chain risk.

Node.js deprecation timeline (reference for findings):

  • June 2, 2026: Node 24 becomes default (FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true to opt in early).
  • Fall 2026: Node 20 removed entirely from runners.
  • Temporary opt-out after June 2: ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true (stops working fall 2026).

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.
