Audit CI/CD workflows that invoke LLM agents for dangerous trigger, checkout, token-scope, and prompt-construction patterns — flags the injection and blast-radius surface without shipping a working exploit.

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

# Skill: Agentic Actions Auditor

Audit CI/CD workflows that **invoke an LLM agent** for the patterns that turn a
pipeline into an attacker-reachable action surface: dangerous event triggers,
untrusted checkout of pull-request code with secrets in scope, over-scoped
`GITHUB_TOKEN`, agent prompts built from attacker-controlled text, and missing
human-approval gates before the agent writes or takes irreversible actions.

> **This skill is self-limiting.** It audits agent-invoking CI for dangerous
> trigger, checkout, permission, and prompt-construction patterns; it describes
> each pattern and its fix but ships **no working end-to-end exploit**. Minimal
> YAML snippets that show a dangerous trigger are config patterns, not payloads,
> and each is paired with the safer form. Authoritative policy lives in the
> [agentic-coding-playbook](https://github.com/GSA-TTS/agentic-coding-playbook);
> this skill defers all policy there and never restates it.

## When to Use

- Reviewing a GitHub Actions (or similar CI) workflow that calls an LLM agent —
  a code reviewer bot, an issue triager, an auto-fixer, or a chat-ops agent

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/agentic-actions-auditor@sha256:a04e73eee95db9ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
