What this skill does
GitHub Actions Docs GitHub Actions questions are easy to answer from stale memory. Use this skill to ground answers in official GitHub documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic CI/CD advice. When to Use Use this skill when the request is about: GitHub Actions concepts, terminology, or product boundaries Workflow YAML, triggers, jobs, matrices, concurrency, variables, contexts, or expressions GitHub-hosted runners, larger runners, self-hosted runners, or Actions Runner Controller Artifacts, caches, reusable workflows, workflow templates, or custom actions Secrets, GITHUBTOKEN, OpenID Connect, artifact attestations, or secure workflow patterns Environments, deployment protection rules, deployment history, or deployment examples Migrating from Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, Travis CI, Azure Pipelines, or other CI systems Troubleshooting workflow behavior when the user needs documentation, syntax guidance, or official references Do not use this skill for: A specific failing PR check, missing workflow log, or CI failure triage.
