aibot88 Prevent broken GitHub Actions workflows before CI runs with actionlint
Use actionlint when an agent needs to inspect GitHub Actions workflow files before a push or pull request lands. The skill checks syntax, expressions, action inputs, runner labels, cron patterns, and a few security footguns so the agent can stop bad workflow changes before CI burns time.
Prerequisites
actionlint binary, plus optional shellcheck and pyflakes for deeper inline script checks
