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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: api.github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    api.github.comsource host

  • 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 josiahsiegel/claude-plugin-marketplace at 5a1b1123b9.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automate and optimize GitHub Actions workflows, specifically leveraging new features rolling out in 2025. It allows for the use of lightweight 1 vCPU Linux runners for simpler automation tasks and facilitates the creation of immutable releases for enhanced security and compliance. The skill provides guidance on utilizing these features within .github/workflows/*.yml files to streamline development processes.

When to use it

  • Automating issue triage, label management, or PR comments.
  • Performing lightweight scripts and Git operations (checkout, tag, commit).
  • Creating immutable releases for improved supply chain security and audit compliance.
  • Implementing status checks and notification tasks within GitHub Actions workflows.
  • Reducing costs by utilizing the new 1 vCPU runners for suitable automation tasks.

Key capabilities

  • 1 vCPU Linux Runners: Utilize optimized, lower-cost runners with 1 vCPU, 5 GB RAM, and a 15-minute job limit.
  • Immutable Releases: Create releases where assets and Git tags cannot be altered or deleted after creation.
  • GitHub CLI Integration: Provides examples using the GitHub CLI (gh) for workflow configuration and release creation.

Example prompts

  • "Create a GitHub Actions workflow to automatically add the 'needs-review' label to newly opened issues."
  • "How can I create an immutable release of version 1.0.0 with the dist/*.z assets?"
  • "Show me how to use the new 1 vCPU runner for a simple PR comment automation task."

Tips & gotchas

  • The 1 vCPU runners are not suitable for build operations, test suites, or complex CI/CD pipelines. Use them only for lightweight tasks.
  • Immutable releases provide enhanced security but require careful planning as changes after release are impossible.
  • Ensure you have the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and configured to utilize these features effectively.
