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 davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    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

github-workflow-automation

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automatically trigger and manage GitHub Actions workflows directly from code repositories. It streamlines the deployment pipeline by allowing agents to initiate builds, runs, and releases without manual intervention.

When to use it

  • Automating CI/CD pipelines when new code is pushed to a repository.
  • Triggering specific workflow jobs based on pull request events or branch updates.
  • Orchestrating automated testing suites before merging changes into main branches.
  • Scheduling periodic maintenance tasks like dependency updates or security scans.

Key capabilities

  • Direct integration with GitHub Actions ecosystem
  • Automatic workflow triggering based on repository events
  • Management of build and deployment processes
  • Execution of complex multi-step automation sequences

Example prompts

  • "Trigger the 'deploy-production' workflow for the main branch of my repository."
  • "Run the automated security scan workflow after this pull request is merged."
  • "Initiate the nightly backup workflow for the staging environment."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your GitHub repository has valid Actions workflows defined in .github/workflows before attempting automation. Verify that the AI agent has appropriate write permissions to trigger actions on the target repository.
