At a glance

Helps understand and write EAS workflow YAML files for Expo projects.

  • Works in 3 steps: JSON Schema —… → Syntax Documentation —… → Pre-packaged Jobs —…
  • The user asks about CI/CD
  • SKILL.md covers Reference Documentation, Workflow File Location, Top-Level Structure and Expressions, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls npx and node

What it does

Eas Workflows is an agent skill from expo/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Helps understand and write EAS workflow YAML files for Expo projects. Use this skill when the user asks about CI/CD or workflows in an Expo or EAS context, mentions .eas/workflows/, or wants help with EAS build pipelines or deployment automation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/fetch.js` and `scripts/package.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Expo. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills for working with Expo projects and Expo Application Services. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about CI/CD
  • Workflows in an Expo
  • Mentions .eas/workflows/
  • Wants help with EAS build pipelines

Example prompts

  • “Use the eas-workflows skill to help understand and write EAS workflow YAML files for Expo projects”
  • “/eas-workflows”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash(node:*), Bash(npx *eas-cli@*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. JSON Schema — https://api.expo.dev/v2/workflows/schema
  2. Syntax Documentation — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/syntax.mdx
  3. Pre-packaged Jobs — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/pre-packaged-jobs.mdx

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4f4840. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash(node:*)
    • Bash(npx *eas-cli@*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • raw.githubusercontent.com
    • expo.dev
    • api.expo.dev

    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

Eas Workflows loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

EAS Workflows Skill

EAS service - costs apply. EAS Workflows run on Expo Application Services, a paid product with free-tier limits. Each workflow job consumes your plan's build/compute minutes, and jobs that build or submit also need paid Apple Developer and Google Play accounts. Review https://expo.dev/pricing before triggering runs.

Help developers write and edit EAS CI/CD workflow YAML files.

Reference Documentation

Fetch these resources before generating or editing workflow files, or when answering syntax questions. First resolve this skill's directory, then use the fetch script in its scripts/ directory. It is implemented using Node.js and caches responses using ETags for efficiency:

bash
# Fetch resources
node <skill-dir>/scripts/fetch.js <url>
  1. JSON Schema — https://api.expo.dev/v2/workflows/schema

    • It is NECESSARY to fetch this schema
    • Source of truth for the workflow YAML structure; EAS CLI remains the authoritative final validator
    • All job types and their required/optional parameters
    • Trigger types and configurations
    • Runner types, VM images, and all enums
  2. Syntax Documentation — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/syntax.mdx

    • Overview of workflow YAML syntax
    • Examples and English explanations
    • Expression syntax and contexts
  3. Pre-packaged Jobs — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/expo/expo/refs/heads/main/docs/pages/eas/workflows/pre-packaged-jobs.mdx

    • Documentation for supported pre-packaged job types
    • Job-specific parameters and outputs

Do not rely on memorized values; these resources evolve as new features are added.

Workflow File Location

Workflows live in .eas/workflows/*.yml (or .yaml). Each file must be 16 KiB or smaller.

Top-Level Structure

A workflow file has these top-level keys:

  • name — Display name for the workflow
  • on — Triggers that start the workflow (at least one required)
  • jobs — Job definitions (required)
  • defaults — Shared defaults for all jobs
  • concurrency — Control parallel workflow runs

Consult the schema for the full specification of each section.

Expressions

Use ${{ }} syntax for dynamic values. The schema defines available contexts:

  • github.* — GitHub repository and event information
  • inputs.* — Values from workflow_dispatch inputs
  • needs.* — Outputs and status from dependent jobs
  • jobs.* — Job outputs (alternative syntax)
  • steps.* — Step outputs within custom jobs
  • workflow.* — Workflow metadata

Generating Workflows

When generating or editing workflows:

  1. Fetch the schema to get current job types, parameters, and allowed values
  2. Validate that required fields are present for each job type
  3. Verify job references in needs and after exist in the workflow
  4. Check that expressions reference valid contexts and outputs
  5. Ensure if conditions respect the schema's length constraints

Validation

After generating or editing a workflow file, validate it with EAS CLI from the Expo project root:

sh
npx -y eas-cli@latest workflow:validate .eas/workflows/<workflow.yml> --non-interactive

Run the command separately for each changed workflow file. It requires a logged-in EAS CLI session and a linked Expo project. Unlike schema-only validation, it also checks build profile references against the project's eas.json and performs EAS server-side validation. Fix every reported error and rerun the command until it prints Workflow configuration YAML is valid. Do not replace this command with a local YAML or JSON Schema validator.

Answering Questions

When users ask about available options (job types, triggers, runner types, etc.), fetch the schema and derive the answer from it rather than relying on potentially outdated information.

Submitting Feedback

If you encounter errors, misleading or outdated information in this skill, report it so Expo can improve:

bash
npx --yes submit-expo-feedback@latest --category skills --subject "eas-workflows" "<actionable feedback>"

Only submit when you have something specific and actionable to report. Include as much relevant context as possible. If an AI agent repeatedly failed or the user had to take over an Expo task, load the expo-skill-feedback skill and follow its eval-candidate flow instead of reusing the command above.
