/configure:workflows

Check and configure GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows against project standards.

When to Use This Skill

| Use this skill when... | Use another approach when... | |------------------------|------------------------------| | Checking GitHub Actions workflows for compliance with project standards | Debugging a failing CI run (use github-actions-inspection skill) | | Setting up container build, test, or release-please workflows | Installing Claude-powered reusable workflows (use /configure:reusable-workflows) | | Updating outdated action versions (checkout, build-push, etc.) | Writing a custom workflow from scratch (use ci-workflows skill) | | Adding multi-platform builds or GHA caching to existing workflows | Configuring security-specific workflows (use /configure:security) | | Auditing which required workflows are missing from a project | Managing GitHub repository settings or branch protection rules |

Context

  • Workflows dir: !find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name \'.github/workflows\'
  • Workflow files: !find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 \( -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.yaml' \)
  • Package files: !find . -maxdepth 1 \( -name 'package.json' -o -name 'pyproject.toml' -o -name 'Cargo.toml' -o -name 'go.mod' \)
  • Dockerfile: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'Dockerfile*'
  • Release-please config: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name \'release-please-config.json\'

Parameters

Parse from command arguments:

  • --check-only: Report status without offering fixes
  • --fix: Apply fixes automatically

Execution

Execute this GitHub Actions workflow configuration check:

Step 1: Fetch latest action versions

Verify latest versions before reporting outdated actions:

  1. actions/checkout - releases
  2. actions/setup-node - releases
  3. actions/cache - releases
  4. docker/setup-buildx-action - releases
  5. docker/build-push-action - releases
  6. docker/login-action - releases
  7. docker/metadata-action - releases
  8. reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance - releases
  9. google-github-actions/release-please-action - releases

Use WebSearch or WebFetch to verify current versions.

Step 2: Detect project type and list workflows

  1. Check for .github/workflows/ directory
  2. List all workflow files (*.yml, *.yaml)
  3. Categorize workflows by purpose (container build, test, release)

Determine required workflows based on project type:

| Project Type | Required Workflows | |--------------|-------------------| | Frontend | container-build, release-please, renovate (optional: claude-auto-fix) | | Python | container-build, release-please, test, renovate (optional: claude-auto-fix) | | Infrastructure | release-please, renovate (optional: docs, claude-auto-fix) |

Step 3: Analyze workflow compliance

Container Build Workflow Checks:

| Check | Standard | Severity | |-------|----------|----------| | checkout action | v4 | WARN if older | | build-push action | v6 | WARN if older | | Multi-platform | amd64 + arm64 | WARN if missing | | Registry | GHCR (ghcr.io) | INFO | | Caching | GHA cache enabled | WARN if missing | | Permissions | Explicit | WARN if missing | | id-token: write | Required when provenance/SBOM enabled | WARN if missing | | Cache scope | Explicit scope= when multiple build jobs | WARN if missing | | Dead metadata tags | No type=schedule without schedule trigger | INFO | | Semver regex escaping | Dots escaped in type=match patterns (\d+\.\d+) | WARN if unescaped | | Hardcoded image names | Derive from ${{ github.repository }} | INFO if hardcoded | | Digest output | Capture build-push digest via id: for traceability | INFO if missing | | Job summary | Write image/digest/tags to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY | INFO if missing | | Duplicated job conditions | Identical if: on sibling jobs; suggest gate job | INFO |

Release Please Workflow Checks:

| Check | Standard | Severity | |-------|----------|----------| | Action version | v4 | WARN if older | | Token | MY_RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN | WARN if GITHUB_TOKEN | | Permissions | contents: write, pull-requests: write | FAIL if missing |

Test Workflow Checks:

| Check | Standard | Severity | |-------|----------|----------| | Node version | 22 | WARN if older | | Linting | npm run lint | WARN if missing | | Type check | npm run typecheck | WARN if missing | | Coverage | Coverage upload | INFO |

Renovate Workflow Checks:

| Check | Standard | Severity | |-------|----------|----------| | RENOVATE_REPOSITORIES env var | Must be set (${{ github.repository }}) | FAIL if missing | | checkout action | v6 | WARN if older | | renovatebot/github-action | Minor-pinned (e.g., v46.1.0), not major tag | WARN if major-only | | Uses reusable workflow | Preferred (except infrastructure) | INFO if standalone |

Claude Auto-Fix Workflow Checks (if present):

| Check | Standard | Severity | |-------|----------|----------| | workflow_run trigger | Monitors at least one workflow | WARN if misconfigured | | Loop prevention | Skips fix(auto): commits | FAIL if missing | | Deduplication | Caps open auto-fix PRs | WARN if missing | | Claude Code Action | anthropics/claude-code-action@v1 | WARN if older | | OAuth token | CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN secret | FAIL if missing | | Permissions | Minimal required set | WARN if excessive |

Step 4: Generate compliance report

Print a formatted compliance report showing workflow status, per-workflow check results, and missing workflows.

If --check-only is set, stop here.

For the report format, see REFERENCE.md.

Step 5: Apply configuration (if --fix or user confirms)

  1. Missing workflows: Create from standard templates
  2. Outdated actions: Update version numbers
  3. Missing multi-platform: Add platforms to build-push
  4. Missing caching: Add GHA cache configuration

For standard templates (container build, test workflow), see REFERENCE.md.

Step 6: Update standards tracking

Update .project-standards.yaml:

components:
  workflows: "2025.1"

Agentic Optimizations

Flags

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | --check-only | Report status without offering fixes | | --fix | Apply fixes automatically |
