Reliable JavaScript for GitHub Actions requires using github-script@v8 with @actions/core and @actions/github to handle logging, outputs, and repository interactions consistently. This enforces standardized input retrieval and output setting for auditable CI workflows.
You should use core.info, core.warning, and core.error instead of console.log in GitHub Actions because the @actions/core toolkit provides standardized output and environment variable management. Avoiding console usage ensures consistent, reliable logging and proper error handling within your CI workflows.
The best way to set outputs and handle errors in github-script is by applying @actions/core helpers for standardized output setting and error management. Following these prescribed best practices ensures your CI automation avoids boilerplate and remains auditable.
Yes, you need @actions/github to interact with repositories in github-script. The skill enforces using @actions/github alongside @actions/core to standardize repository interactions, logging, and input retrieval in your GitHub Actions CI workflows.
Yes, you can add optional step summaries to your GitHub Actions using github-script. The skill prescribes including step summaries alongside standardized input retrieval, output setting, and error handling to maintain reliable and auditable automation.
