Local development teams often need to validate CI workflows without pushing changes or hitting CI queues. This skill provides a local testing environment for GitHub Actions using act on macOS, enabling faster feedback loops and offline parity checks.
Run the wrapper to simulate a workflow job locally using act.

Local CI testing with act simulates wrapped jobs like build, static-analysis, and e2e tests using a local wrapper. It mirrors CI parity on your macOS host to catch regressions early without cloud execution.
Yes, Docker Desktop is required to simulate GitHub Actions workflows with act on macOS. You also need the act command-line tool and the repository's wrapper scripts and act payloads to drive deterministic local parity.
The act wrapper supports simulating a subset or full workflow locally to verify behavior before committing. You can run common jobs like rust-network-e2e and rust-native-soak to validate job wiring and configurations.
Limitations of local GitHub Actions parity include requiring a macOS host and specific wrapped jobs like build or static-analysis. It relies on local wrapper scripts and act payloads, meaning unsupported jobs or non-macOS environments lack deterministic parity.
