Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills at 718070a7d6.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The GitHub Actions skill enables AI agents to create, modify, and manage CI/CD workflows directly within a repository. It allows agents to define build pipelines, trigger automated testing, and deploy applications based on code changes without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Automate the testing and deployment of new code commits immediately after they are pushed to a branch.
  • Set up scheduled maintenance tasks, such as running security scans or updating dependencies on a weekly basis.
  • Configure environment-specific builds that automatically deploy to staging or production servers upon successful verification.
  • Integrate third-party services into your pipeline to notify teams of build failures or successful releases.

Key capabilities

  • Create and edit .github/workflows YAML files programmatically.
  • Define custom jobs with specific runners, steps, and environment variables.
  • Trigger workflows manually, on push events, pull requests, or scheduled cron intervals.
  • Manage workflow permissions for accessing secrets and packages.

Example prompts

  • "Create a GitHub Actions workflow that runs my unit tests on every pull request to the main branch."
  • "Update the existing deployment job in my repository to use Node.js version 20 instead of 18."
  • "Add a scheduled workflow that runs a security audit script every Sunday at 2 AM UTC."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has write access to the target repository's .github directory before attempting to create or modify workflows. Complex YAML syntax can lead to subtle errors; always validate generated files against GitHub's schema before committing them.
