GitHub Actions workflow authoring conventions for readable, least-privilege workflows — .github/workflows/*.yaml layout, explicit scoped triggers, boolean logic with truthy/falsey expressions (if ${{ inputs.flag }} over == 'true'), concurrency, matrix builds, job outputs, and authoring reusable (workflow_call) and composite actions. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring GitHub Actions workflows or composite actions (.github/workflows/*.yaml, action.yml), adding a job, matrix, or…

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 workflow style

Apply these conventions to every workflow and composite action; match them when editing existing
ones. They keep workflows readable, reproducible, and least-privilege. For the rationale behind
each rule — especially GitHub's truthy/falsey coercion — see [reference.md](reference.md).

The security rules these conventions assume (SHA-pinning, no `pull_request_target`, minimal
`permissions`) live in the `actions-security` skill; the shared CI/release/merge automation lives
in the `actions-reusable-workflows` skill; validate with the `actions-validate` skill before
committing.

## 1. File layout and naming

- One workflow per file under `.github/workflows/`, named for what it does (`ci.yaml`,
  `release.yaml`). Use the `.yaml` extension, not `.yml`.
- Give every workflow a top-level `name:`, and name jobs and steps so the Checks UI and logs read
  well (`name: Continuous integration`, `- name: Build`).

## 2. Declare explicit, scoped triggers

Spell out `on:` events and narrow them — never lean on defaults. Filter `branches` and `paths` so
a workflow only runs when it must.

```yaml
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bitwise-media-group/skills/actions-style@sha256:3ad158ecd0a586a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.6f09c20, 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.
