writing-github-actionsWrite GitHub Actions workflows with proper syntax, reusable workflows, composite actions, matrix builds, caching, and security best practices.
Writing GitHub Actions is an agent skill from ancoleman/ai-design-components. Write GitHub Actions workflows with proper syntax, reusable workflows, composite actions, matrix builds, caching, and security best practices. Use when creating CI/CD workflows for GitHub-hosted projects or automating GitHub repository tasks.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `examples/basic-ci.yml`, `examples/composite-setup/action.yml` and `examples/matrix-build.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive UI/UX and Backend component design skills for AI-assisted development with Claude. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76551b7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
API_KEYNPM_TOKENFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Writing GitHub Actions loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 677 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 15 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Create GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployments, and repository automation using YAML-based configuration with native GitHub integration.
GitHub Actions is the native CI/CD platform for GitHub repositories. This skill covers workflow syntax, triggers, job orchestration, reusable patterns, optimization techniques, and security practices specific to GitHub Actions.

Write GitHub Actions workflows with proper syntax, reusable workflows, composite actions, matrix builds, caching, and security best practices. Writing GitHub Actions is an agent skill from ancoleman/ai-design-components. Write GitHub Actions workflows with proper syntax, reusable workflows, composite actions, matrix builds, caching, and security best practices.
Writing GitHub Actions fits situations like: creating CI/CD workflows for GitHub-hosted projects; automating GitHub repository tasks.
Run `npx skills add ancoleman/ai-design-components --skill writing-github-actions -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/writing-github-actions in ancoleman/ai-design-components) into .claude/skills/writing-github-actions in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ancoleman/ai-design-components --skill writing-github-actions -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/writing-github-actions in ancoleman/ai-design-components) into .agents/skills/writing-github-actions in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ancoleman/ai-design-components --skill writing-github-actions -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/writing-github-actions, .gemini/skills/writing-github-actions, .github/skills/writing-github-actions and .opencode/skills/writing-github-actions in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Writing GitHub Actions needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and credentials named API_KEY and NPM_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A Bash shell; A credential in NPM_TOKEN; A credential in API_KEY.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Writing GitHub Actions is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 22k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Writing GitHub Actions: Nushell (ccusage/ccusage, 19k stars), Clawsweeper (openclaw/openclaw, 392k stars), AI News Radar (LearnPrompt/ai-news-radar, 1.8k stars) and Make GitHub Actions Workflow (dotnet/efcore, 15k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
