# github-actions-docs output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Use when users ask how to write, explain, customize, migrate, secure, or troubleshoot GitHub Actions workflows, workflow syntax, triggers, matrices, runners, reusable workflows, artifacts, caching, secrets, OIDC, deployments, custom actions, or Actions Runner Controller, especially when they need official GitHub documentation, exact links, or docs-grounde….
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “When to Use / Workflow / 1. Classify the request” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Use when users ask how to write, explain, customize, migrate, secure, or troubleshoot GitHub Actions workflows, workflow syntax, triggers, matrices, runners, reusable workflows, artifacts, caching, secrets, OIDC, deployments, custom actions, or Actions Runner Controller, especially when they need official GitHub documentation, exact links, or docs-grounde…”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “When to Use / Workflow / 1. Classify the request” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; may access external network resources; requires GitHub API keys.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; may access external network resources; requires GitHub API keys.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. Choose the trigger
The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Provide inputs and boundaries
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files, run shell commands.
Validate with a small run
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “When to Use / Workflow / 1. Classify the request”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Review before delivery
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# github-actions-docs
## When to use
- Use when users ask how to write, explain, customize, migrate, secure, or troubleshoot GitHub Actions workflows, workfl…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “When to Use / Workflow / 1. Classify the request” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files, run shell commands; may access external network resources; requires GitHub API keys.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. Evidence boundary and execution chain
The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

}GitHub Actions questions are easy to answer from stale memory. Use this skill to ground answers in official GitHub documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic CI/CD advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- GitHub Actions concepts, terminology, or product boundaries
- Workflow YAML, triggers, jobs, matrices, concurrency, variables, contexts, or expressions
- GitHub-hosted runners, larger runners, self-hosted runners, or Actions Runner Controller
- Artifacts, caches, reusable workflows, workflow templates, or custom actions
- Secrets,
GITHUB_TOKEN, OpenID Connect, artifact attestations, or secure workflow patterns - Environments, deployment protection rules, deployment history, or deployment examples
- Migrating from Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, Travis CI, Azure Pipelines, or other CI systems
- Troubleshooting workflow behavior when the user needs documentation, syntax guidance, or official references
Do not use this skill for:
- A specific failing PR check, missing workflow log, or CI failure triage. Use
gh-fix-ci. - General GitHub pull request, branch, or repository operations. Use
github. - CodeQL-specific configuration or code scanning guidance. Use
codeql. - Dependabot configuration, grouping, or dependency update strategy. Use
dependabot.
Workflow
1. Classify the request
Decide which bucket the question belongs to before searching:
- Getting started or tutorials
- Workflow authoring and syntax
- Runners and execution environment
- Security and supply chain
- Deployments and environments
- Custom actions and publishing
- Monitoring, logs, and troubleshooting
- Migration
If you need a quick starting point, load references/topic-map.md and jump to the closest section.
2. Search official GitHub docs first
- Treat
docs.github.comas the source of truth. - Prefer pages under https://docs.github.com/en/actions.
- Search with the user's exact terms plus a focused Actions phrase such as
workflow syntax,OIDC,reusable workflows, orself-hosted runners. - When multiple pages are plausible, compare 2-3 candidate pages and pick the one that most directly answers the user's question.
3. Open the best page before answering
- Read the most relevant page, and the exact section when practical.
- Use the topic map only to narrow the search space or surface likely starting pages.
- If a page appears renamed, moved, or incomplete, say that explicitly and return the nearest authoritative pages instead of guessing.
4. Answer with docs-grounded guidance
- Start with a direct answer in plain language.
- Include exact GitHub docs links, not just the docs homepage.
- Only provide YAML or step-by-step examples when the user asks for them or when the docs page makes an example necessary.
- Make any inference explicit. Good phrasing:
According to GitHub docs, ...Inference: this likely means ...
Answer Shape
Use a compact structure unless the user asks for depth:
- Direct answer
- Relevant docs
- Example YAML or steps, only if needed
- Explicit inference callout, only if you had to connect multiple docs pages
Keep citations close to the claim they support.
Search and Routing Tips
- For concept questions, prefer overview or concept pages before deep reference pages.
- For syntax questions, prefer workflow syntax, events, contexts, variables, or expressions reference pages.
- For security questions, prefer
Secure use,Secrets,GITHUB_TOKEN,OpenID Connect, and artifact attestation docs. - For deployment questions, prefer environments and deployment protection docs before cloud-specific examples.
- For migration questions, prefer the migration hub page first, then a platform-specific migration guide.
- If the user asks for a beginner walkthrough, start with a tutorial or quickstart instead of a raw reference page.
Common Mistakes
- Answering from memory without verifying the current docs
- Linking the GitHub Actions docs landing page when a narrower page exists
- Mixing up reusable workflows and composite actions
- Suggesting long-lived cloud credentials when OIDC is the better documented path
- Treating repo-specific CI debugging as a documentation question when it should be handed to
gh-fix-ci - Letting adjacent domains absorb the request when
codeqlordependabotis the sharper fit
Bundled Reference
Read references/topic-map.md only as a compact index of likely doc entry points. It is intentionally incomplete and should never replace the live GitHub docs as the final authority.
