SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? GitHub Actions answers given from memory are often stale or inaccurate. This Skill grounds every answer in the official GitHub documentation, returning the closest authoritative docs page instead of generic CI/CD advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Docs-grounded answers: Searches docs.github.com first, opens the most relevant page, and cites exact links next to each claim. - Topic routing: Classifies requests into buckets like workflow syntax, runners, security, deployments, custom actions, troubleshooting, and migration, using a bundled topic map of curated doc entry points. - Clear boundaries: Redirects CI failure triage to gh-fix-ci, CodeQL questions to codeql, and Dependabot questions to dependabot. - Use Case: A user asks how to authenticate to AWS from a workflow without storing credentials. The Skill locates the OpenID Connect docs, explains the OIDC approach, and links the exact AWS configuration page. ## Quick Start Ask how to configure OIDC authentication for AWS in a GitHub Actions workflow and request the official documentation links.

Frequently Asked Questions about github-actions-docs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get accurate GitHub Actions workflow syntax help?

Ask your GitHub Actions syntax question and the Skill searches docs.github.com for the workflow syntax, events, contexts, or expressions reference pages. It reads the most relevant page and answers with exact documentation links rather than relying on memory.

What topics does GitHub Actions documentation guidance cover?

Coverage includes workflow YAML, triggers, jobs, matrices, runners, reusable workflows, artifacts, caching, secrets, GITHUB_TOKEN, OIDC, artifact attestations, environments, deployments, custom actions, Actions Runner Controller, and migration from Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI/CD, Travis CI, or Azure Pipelines.

Can this help migrate from Jenkins or GitLab CI to GitHub Actions?

Yes, migration questions are routed to the official migration hub page first, then to the platform-specific guide such as migrating from Jenkins, CircleCI, or GitLab CI/CD. Answers cite the exact migration documentation pages.

When should I not use GitHub Actions docs guidance?

Do not use it for triaging a specific failing PR check or missing workflow log, which belongs to gh-fix-ci. CodeQL configuration goes to codeql, Dependabot questions to dependabot, and general pull request operations to github.

Does it provide YAML examples for GitHub Actions workflows?

YAML examples are provided only when you ask for them or when the documentation page makes an example necessary. The default answer shape is a direct answer, relevant docs links, and an explicit callout for any inference.
