Follow the create-github-action skill workflow to scaffold a traditional deterministic GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow (no AI at runtime).
Inputs
$ARGUMENTS— optional workflow type or purpose (e.g.test,build,deploy,lint,release,security). Omit to start with discovery.
Steps
- If
$ARGUMENTSspecifies a workflow type, use it to seed Phase 1 discovery - Follow the create-github-action phased workflow: confirm trigger events, runner OS, required secrets/environment variables, job steps, and caching strategy
- Generate the
.github/workflows/<name>.ymlfile - Report the workflow path and setup instructions (secrets to configure, badges, etc.)
Output
.github/workflows/<name>.yml with complete job definitions, trigger events, permissions, and inline comments explaining each step.
Edge Cases
- If
$ARGUMENTSis empty: begin with workflow type discovery - If the use case involves AI agents at runtime: redirect to
create-agentic-workflow - If secrets or environment variables are required: list them explicitly without values
