SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves the complexity of building, extending, and maintaining GitHub Actions by providing a clear routing map for the @effected library ecosystem, ensuring developers use the correct service for every task.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capability Routing: Instantly identify which @effected package owns specific functionality like API interaction, runner state, or supply chain security.
  • Standardized Patterns: Access verified call sequences for complex workflows like attestation signing, artifact management, and package publishing.
  • Use Case: When building a new CI/CD pipeline, use this Skill to determine whether to use @effected/github for API calls or @effected/github-actions for runner-specific tasks, preventing architectural drift.

Quick Start

Use the building-a-github-action skill to identify the correct service for managing GitHub App tokens and workflow artifacts in my new action.
