What it does
Houndarr CI is an agent skill from av1155/houndarr. Houndarr's CI workflow reference and branch protection. Loads when reading or editing .github/workflows/. Covers the 11 required status checks (exact names matter for branch protection), the additional non-required workflows, the paths-ignore + ci-skip pattern that keeps docs-only PRs green, and the rule against changing required check job names.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with GitHub Actions, Docker, Python and Ruff. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted arr companion for controlled missing, cutoff, and upgrade searches. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Containers
Example prompts
- “/houndarr-ci”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Docker
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b39fdb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ruffmypypytestuvtrivyhadolint
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Houndarr CI loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Houndarr CI conventions
Required checks (11; branch protection enforced)
| Check name | Workflow file | What it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Lint (ruff) | quality.yml | ruff check . |
| Format (ruff) | quality.yml | ruff format --check . |
| Type check (mypy) | quality.yml | mypy src/ |
| Test (Python 3.13) | tests.yml | pytest -q --tb=short + compile check + --help |
| Dependency audit (pip-audit) | security.yml | pip-audit against requirements.txt + requirements-dev.txt generated on the fly via uv export --frozen from pyproject.toml + uv.lock |
| SAST (bandit) | security.yml | bandit -r src/ -c pyproject.toml |
| Trivy filesystem scan | security.yml | trivy fs . (CRITICAL/HIGH with known fix) |
| Dependency review | dependency-review.yml | PR dependency diff vs GitHub Advisory Database |
| Build (no push) | docker.yml | Multi-arch Docker build (amd64/arm64), no push |
| Trivy image scan | docker.yml | Trivy scan of built Docker image (CRITICAL/HIGH with known fix) |
| Security smoke test | security-smoke-test.yml | Live container: unauthenticated sweep, CSRF, XFF, rate limiting, API key exposure, container security |
The six main workflows (quality, tests, security, dependency-review,
docker, security-smoke-test) use
paths-ignore: ["docs/**", "**/*.md", "website/**", ".claude/**"]. When a PR
touches only those paths, ci-skip.yml provides passing no-op jobs with
identical check names so branch protection is satisfied.
Additional workflows (not required checks)
| Workflow | Trigger | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
version-check.yml | PRs changing VERSION or CHANGELOG.md | Validates VERSION format, CHANGELOG heading match, allowed ### headers, --- separator |
release.yml | v* tag push | Validates VERSION == tag, extracts CHANGELOG block, creates GitHub Release |
chart.yml | v* tag push | Packages charts/houndarr/ with version from VERSION file, pushes to oci://ghcr.io/av1155/charts |
dockerfile-lint.yml | Changes to Dockerfile | hadolint Dockerfile |
workflow-lint.yml | Changes to .github/workflows/** | actionlint via reviewdog |
api-snapshot-refresh.yml | Weekly (Monday 10:00 UTC) + manual | Fetches upstream Radarr/Sonarr/Whisparr/Lidarr/Readarr OpenAPI specs, updates docs/api/ snapshots and tests/test_docs_api.py hashes, opens a PR if changed |
pages.yml | Pushes to main touching website/** | Deploys docs site to GitHub Pages |
test-deploy.yml | PRs touching website/** | Tests Docusaurus build without deploying |
link-check.yml | PRs touching **/*.md, **/*.mdx, lychee.toml + weekly (Monday 08:00 UTC) + manual | Runs lychee against every Markdown file to catch broken external links; rules live in lychee.toml |

Branch protection on main
- 11 required status checks (strict; branch must be up to date)
- PRs required, stale reviews dismissed, conversation resolution required
- Required approving reviews is 0, so no approval blocks a merge
- Linear history enforced (no merge commits)
- No force pushes, no branch deletions
- Admin enforcement is off. The rules above bind contributors; the
maintainer account can push to
mainand merge past a failing check. The hooks in.claude/settings.jsonare the real block on direct edits and pushes while onmain. - CODEOWNERS assigns
@av1155to every file, but code owner review is not a required gate
Don't break this
- Do not modify the 11 required check job names; branch protection depends on exact name matches.
- Do not change
ci-skip.ymljob names without updating branch protection. - Keep
paths-ignorepatterns in sync across the six main workflows. - If mypy CI fails with "merge ref not found": push an empty commit to retrigger.
- Keep every action pinned to a full 40-character commit SHA with the
release version as the last token of a trailing comment
(
uses: owner/repo@<sha> # vX.Y.Z). Dependabot rewrites the SHA and the comment together, but only while the version ends the comment. A tag or branch ref can be repointed by the action owner; a SHA cannot. When pinning by hand, dereference annotated tags to their commit: for those actionsgit/ref/tags/vNreturns a tag object whose SHA the runner cannot resolve.
