Use when authoring or fixing GitHub Actions CI/CD — workflows under .github/workflows, triggers, job matrix, caching, token permissions, OIDC cloud deploys, environment gates, reusable workflows. NOT the Dockerfile or image build strategy (that is `docker`), NOT the branching model (that is `git-workflow`), NOT release readiness (that is `ship`).
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 CI/CD A workflow is config that runs on an event. Before you write a single step, decide three things: **which events** fire the workflow, **what permissions** the token needs, and **where credentials come from**. Get those wrong and you have a fast pipeline that leaks secrets or a secure one nobody can trigger. Everything after that — checkout, install, test, build — is just steps. This skill owns the workflow layer — the `.github/workflows/*.yml` files, their triggers, jobs, matrix, caching, secret/OIDC handling, environments and deploy gates. Route the rest out: | Not this skill | Goes to | Because | | --- | --- | --- | | The `Dockerfile`, image build strategy | `../docker/SKILL.md` | The workflow may *call* `docker build`; designing the image is not this skill. | | Branching model, PR hygiene, merge vs rebase, commit conventions | `../git-workflow/SKILL.md` | That is the source-control model, not the CI config layer. | | Release readiness checklist, changelog, the shipping decision | `../ship/SKILL.md` | Whether to release is a decision; this skill only automates the mechanics. | …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/github-actions@sha256:9b5ced270b3ca060The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.baa11e7, 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.
