What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams validate and debug GitHub Actions workflows by performing local validation, syntax checks, and actionable remediation guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static analysis of YAML workflows using actionlint to catch syntax issues, invalid inputs, and runner labels
  • Local workflow testing with act to verify behavior before pushing
  • Action version validation and remediation guidance with references; support for modern features like workflow_call and OIDC-ready permissions
  • Pre-commit validation for pull requests and debugging failures with actionable suggestions

Quick Start

  1. Install local tooling: bash scripts/install_tools.sh
  2. Validate a workflow: bash scripts/validate_workflow.sh .github/workflows/ci.yml
  3. Check action versions: bash scripts/validate_workflow.sh --check-versions .github/workflows/ci.yml
