What it does

Actions CI Tuning is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. Use when auditing or improving GitHub Actions workflows for a project. Covers cache setup (npm/pnpm/yarn), job parallelism, shard-based test splitting, artifact handling pitfalls, and Playwright-specific patterns. Trigger on: slow CI, cache miss, flaky shard jobs, merge-reports failures, or an explicit 'tune CI' request.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering CI/CD and Browser testing. It works with GitHub Actions, Playwright, pnpm and npm. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.

When your agent uses it

  • Improving GitHub Actions workflows for a project
  • Flaky shard jobs
  • Merge-reports failures
  • An explicit tune CI request

Example prompts

  • “tune CI”
  • “/actions-ci-tuning”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inventory — list all .github/workflows/*.yml files and their trigger events, jobs, and rough durations (gh run list --workflow --limit 5).
  2. Audit against checklist — run through each section below and flag every gap.
  3. Prioritise — group findings by impact: correctness bugs > cache misses > parallelism gains > cosmetic.
  4. Propose changes — draft minimal diffs; do not refactor unrelated parts.
  5. Verify — after applying, confirm via gh run list that the next run is green and faster.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. 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:

    • gh
    • jq
    • pnpm
    • playwright
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, pnpm and npm, 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

Actions CI Tuning loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 866 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 866 words (~2,555 tokens).

“Audit and improve GitHub Actions workflows. Focus on correctness first (jobs that error rather than fail), then speed (cache, parallelism), then reliability (flakiness, artifact guards).”
