Github Workflow

What it does

This skill automates GitHub workflow runs based on prompts, enabling AI agents to trigger deployments, tests, or other CI/CD actions within a GitHub repository. It follows a standard four-step process and requires specific prerequisites (detailed in the "Workflow Overview" reference). The skill manages task retrieval and utilizes a global configuration which can be updated after confirmation for repeated use.

When to use it

• To automatically run tests on code changes before creating a pull request.
• To trigger deployment workflows based on prompts or specific conditions.
• When needing to automate repetitive CI/CD tasks within a GitHub repository.
• For managing and executing tasks defined in a TODO.md file, following delegation rules outlined in the specification.

Key capabilities

• Task Management: Handles task details and execution.
• Task Retrieval: Fetches task information and manages global configuration settings.
• Global Configuration: Allows for defining and reusing query methods for task retrieval.
• TODO.md Specification Support: Integrates with a TODO.md file to delegate tasks based on defined rules.

Example prompts

• "Run the tests in the 'backend' workflow."
• "Create a pull request after running the deployment workflow."
• “Execute the task described in TODO.md under ‘Release Notes’."

Tips & gotchas

• Familiarize yourself with the "Workflow Overview" to understand the four-step process and prerequisites for using this skill.
• The initial use of a query method requires confirmation, after which it can be reused via global configuration.
• Refer to the "TODO Specification" documentation to correctly structure your TODO.md file and define delegation rules.
