Create GitHub Actions workflows, reusable workflows, custom actions, and workflow automation. Use when setting up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, creating reusable workflow templates, configuring workflow triggers, implementing matrix builds, or securing GitHub Actions secrets.

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

# GitHub Actions & Workflows

> **Purpose**: Concise guide for building, testing, and deploying with GitHub Actions.
> Detailed YAML examples live in `references/` - this file covers decisions, patterns, and guardrails.

## When to Use This Skill

- Creating GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows
- Building reusable workflow templates
- Configuring matrix builds and parallel jobs
- Implementing security best practices for GitHub Actions
- Troubleshooting failed workflow runs

## Prerequisites

- GitHub repository with admin access
- YAML syntax knowledge

## Decision Tree

```
What GitHub Actions task?
+-- New CI pipeline?
|   +-- Single language? -> Minimal workflow with build + test
|   +-- Multi-platform/version? -> Matrix strategy
|   +-- Monorepo? -> Path-filtered triggers per project
+-- Reusing workflow logic?
|   +-- Multi-job orchestration? -> Reusable workflow (workflow_call)
|   +-- Reusable step sequence? -> Composite action
|   +-- Complex logic with API calls? -> JavaScript action
+-- Choosing triggers?
|   +-- See Trigger Decision Tree below
+-- Securing workflows?
|   +-- Third-party actions? -> Pin to SHA

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/github-actions-workflows@sha256:660148bd43197b1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
