What it does
Act Workflow Syntax is an agent skill from TheBushidoCollective/han. Use when creating or modifying GitHub Actions workflow files. Provides guidance on workflow syntax, triggers, jobs, steps, and expressions for creating valid GitHub Actions workflows that can be tested locally with act.
Its SKILL.md is about 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 CI/CD. It works with GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: A curated marketplace of Claude Code plugins that embody the principles of ethical and professional software development.
When your agent uses it
- Modifying GitHub Actions workflow files
- Tasks that involve CI/CD
Example prompts
- “/act-workflow-syntax”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Docker
- A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN
- A credential in API_KEY
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19caa51. 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:
ReadWriteEditBashGrepGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GITHUB_TOKENAPI_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Act Workflow Syntax loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 266 words (~1,994 tokens).
“Use this skill when creating or modifying GitHub Actions workflow files (.github/workflows/*.yml). This covers workflow structure, triggers, jobs, steps, and best practices for workflows that work both on GitHub and locally with act.”
