How do I install the Github Workflows skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/github-workflows in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Github Workflows safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Github Workflows?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Github Workflows free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

GitHub Workflows

Diagnose, fix, and optimize GitHub Actions workflows for Rust projects.

Quick Reference

Caching Strategies - Manual cache, rust-cache, sccache
Troubleshooting - Common issues, debugging, fixes
Advanced Features - Coverage, security, benchmarking
Release Management - Automated releases, versioning

When to Use

Setting up CI/CD for Rust projects
Troubleshooting workflow failures
Optimizing build times with caching
Ensuring best practices for testing, linting, releases

Before Making Changes

ALWAYS verify current state first:

# Get repo info
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,owner,name

# List existing workflows
gh workflow list

# Check recent runs
gh run list --limit 10

# View workflow files
ls -la .github/workflows/

Complete Rust CI Workflow

See the full workflow template with:

Check job (format, clippy, check)
Test job (unit, integration, doc tests)
Coverage job (tarpaulin, codecov)
Audit job (security, licenses)

See linked files for caching strategies, troubleshooting, and release management.

Core Workflow Components

Job	Purpose	Tools
check	Code quality	rustfmt, clippy, cargo check
test	Verification	cargo test
coverage	Test metrics	cargo tarpaulin
audit	Security	cargo audit, deny

Common Patterns

Caching: Dependencies, target directory, sccache
Matrix builds: Multiple Rust versions, targets
Conditional jobs: Skip on docs-only changes
Quality gates: Block merge on failures

PR Check Attachment Guardrail

After pushing fixes, validate checks are attached to the PR head SHA:
- gh pr view --json statusCheckRollup,mergeStateStatus
- gh run list --commit <head_sha>
If rollup is empty for required checks, treat as blocked and investigate trigger/path conditions.
