# /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workflows | Installing Claude-powered reusable workflows (use `/configure:reusable-workflows`) | | Updating outdated action versions (checkout, build-push, etc.)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 . -path '*/.github/workflows/*' -maxdepth 3 \( -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.yaml' \)` - 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\'` **Skills referenced**: `ci-workflows`, `github-actions-auth-security` **Display name convention**: Every generated or repaired workflow's `name:` follows `<Domain>: <Action> [<target>]` (quoted, since YAML treats `:` as a key separator). See `.claude/rules/workflow-naming.md` for the full rule and active domains. ## 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Actions workflow configuration check: ### Step 1: Fetch latest action versions Verify latest versions before reporting outdated actions: 1.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](https://github.com/actions/checkout/releases) 2. `actions/setup-node` - [releases](https://github.com/actions/setup-node/releases) 3. `actions/cache` - [releases](https://github.com/actions/cache/releases) 4. `docker/setup-buildx-action` - [releases](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action/releases) 5. `docker/build-push-action` - [releases](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/releases) 6. `docker/login-action` - [releases](https://github.com/docker/login-action/releases) 7. `docker/metadata-action` - [releases](https://github.com/docker/metadata-action/releases) 8. `reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance` - [releases](https://github.com/reproducible-containers/buildkit-cache-dance/releases) 9. `google-github-actions/release-please-action` - [releases](https://github.com/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 | v6 | WARN if older | | build-push action | v7 | 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](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](REFERENCE.md). ### Step 6: Update standards tracking Update `.project-standards.yaml`: ```yaml components: workflows: "2025.1" ``` ## Agentic Optimizations | Context | Command | |---------|---------| | Quick compliance check | `/configure:workflows --check-only` | | Auto-fix all issues | `/configure:workflows --fix` | | List workflow files | `find .github/workflows -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.yaml'` | | Check action versions | `rg 'uses:' .github/workflows/ --no-heading` | | Verify release-please config | `test -f release-please-config.json && echo "EXISTS"` | ## Flags | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `--check-only` | Report status without offering fixes | | `--fix` | Apply fixes automatically | ## See Also - `/configure:container` - Comprehensive container infrastructure (builds, registry, scanning) - `/configure:dockerfile` - Dockerfile configuration and security - `/configure:release-please` - Release automation specifics - `/configure:all` - Run all compliance checks - `ci-workflows` skill - Workflow patterns - `github-actions-inspection` skill - Workflow debugging
