Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# GitHub Actions Templates Production-ready GitHub Actions workflow patterns for testing, building, and deploying applications. ## Purpose Create efficient, secure GitHub Actions workflows for continuous integration and deployment across various tech stacks. ## When to Use - Automate testing and deployment - Build Docker images and push to registries - Deploy to Kubernetes clusters - Run security scans - Implement matrix builds for multiple environments ## Common Workflow Patterns ### Pattern 1: Test Workflow ```yaml name: Test on: push: branches: [main, develop] pull_request: branches: [main] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest strategy: matrix: node-version: [18.x, 20.x] steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }} uses: actions/setup-node@v4 with: node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }} cache: "npm" - name: Install dependencies run: npm ci - name: Run linter run: npm run lint - name: Run tests run: npm test - name: Upload coverage uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4 with: files: ./coverage/lcov.info ``` **Reference:** See `assets/test-workflow.yml` ### Pattern 2: Build and Push Docker Image ```yaml name: Build and Push on: push: branches: [main]

What does the github-actions-templates skill do?
Create production-ready GitHub Actions workflows for automated testing, building, and deploying applications. Use when setting up CI/CD with GitHub Actions, automating development workflows, or creating reusable workflow templates.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill github-actions-templates --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
