Gh Actions Validator

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Validating GitHub Actions workflows for Google Cloud and Vertex AI deployments
• With phrases like validate github actions
• Setup workload identity federation
• Github actions security

Example prompts

• “validate github actions”
• “setup workload identity federation”
• “github actions security”
• “/gh-actions-validator”

Requirements

• A Bash shell
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(git:*), Bash(gcloud:*)

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Audit Existing Workflows: Scan .github/workflows/ for security issues
2. 2Validate WIF Usage: Ensure no JSON service account keys are used
3. 3Check OIDC Permissions: Verify id-token: write is present
4. 4Review IAM Roles: Confirm least privilege (no owner/editor roles)
5. 5Add Security Scans: Include secret detection and vulnerability scanning
6. 6Validate Deployments: Add post-deployment health checks
7. 7Configure Monitoring: Set up alerts for deployment failures
8. 8Document WIF Setup: Provide one-time WIF configuration commands

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
  • Edit
  • Grep
  • Glob
  • Bash(git:*)
  • Bash(gcloud:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

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

  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):

  • cloud.google.com
  • docs.github.com
  • github.com

  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.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Gh Actions Validator loads about 713 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~110

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~713

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.3k

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

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.

description

Validate use when validating GitHub Actions workflows for Google Cloud and Vertex AI deployments. Trigger with phrases like "validate github actions", "setup workload identity federation", "github actions security", "deploy agent with ci/cd", or "automate vertex ai deployment". Enforces Workload Identity Federation (WIF), validates OIDC permissions, ensures least privilege IAM, and implements security best practices.
