Audit GitHub Actions CI/CD for cost, speed, and safety. Use when the Actions bill or minutes are high, runners cost too much, CI is slow, cache storage grows, or "CI/CD / workflow audit". Bypass or ratchet gaming → audit-gate-logic.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# CI/CD Audit Skill **Degree of freedom: MIXED** — Steps 1–3 judgment `[HIGH freedom]`; Step 0 `gh` inventory and Step 4 deletes `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Systematic audit of GitHub Actions workflows to cut the Actions bill (minutes + storage) and speed up CI **without losing test coverage or deploy safety**. Uses the `gh` CLI for live billing, run history, and storage data. ## How to reason 1. **Observe** — quote the trigger, `runs-on`, `concurrency`, or `gh` minute/storage number 2. **Interpret** — billed twice, doomed minutes, or a 10× runner on every push? 3. **Classify** — double-bill / no-concurrency / expensive-runner / doomed-job / storage / correct 4. **Severity** — by `$` × safety; never score a cut that drops coverage ## Worked example > **Observe:** `build-mobile.yml` `runs-on: macos-15` on `push:` to every > branch; no `if:` gate; private repo. > **Interpret:** every push bills ~10× Ubuntu for an iOS job nobody requested. > **Classify:** expensive-runner on ordinary push. > **Severity:** Very high (~10×). > **Finding:** `build-mobile.yml` | macos on push | dispatch/tag-only | ~10× ## Step 0: Inventory the account and pipelines [LOW freedom — run exactly] …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/audit-cicd@sha256:5d57b78b5dc63d72The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
