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 dalestudy/skills at a11368b0a0.

    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

What it does

The GitHub Actions skill enables automation of software development workflows through event-driven actions on GitHub repositories. It allows users to define and run automated tasks such as testing, building, and deploying code directly within the GitHub ecosystem.

When to use it

  • Automate CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and delivery.
  • Run tests automatically when code is pushed or merged into a repository.
  • Deploy applications to servers or cloud platforms upon specific triggers like commits or pull requests.

Key capabilities

  • Define workflows using YAML configuration files.
  • Trigger actions based on events such as pushes, pulls, or scheduled intervals.
  • Integrate with third-party services and tools for extended functionality.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a CI/CD pipeline that builds and tests my application whenever I push to the main branch."
  • "Automate deployment of my web app to Vercel every time a new tag is pushed to GitHub."
  • "Create a workflow that runs unit tests on every pull request."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your repository has proper permissions and secrets configured for secure access.
  • Be mindful of rate limits when using external services within actions.
