GitHub Actions Generator

Generate CI/CD workflows for GitHub Actions based on your project's tech stack.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/github-actions-gen-laolaoshiren/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Use when you ask for CI/CD — detects your project's tech stack and generates a GitHub Actions workflow to build, test, and deploy it.

What this skill does

This skill generates customized GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows by analyzing your project's tech stack and configuration. It detects your project type—frontend, backend, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, or monorepo—and creates production-ready workflow files tailored to your specific needs. The generated workflows follow GitHub Actions best practices, include caching for faster builds, matrix testing across multiple versions, and secure secrets management.

What it does

  • Analyzes your project — detects languages, frameworks, test runners, and existing CI configurations (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, .github/workflows/)
  • Generates specialized workflows — creates ci.yml for testing and linting on push/PR, release.yml for tag-based releases, and deploy.yml for deployment
  • Adds framework-specific steps — includes Node.js matrix testing and Lighthouse checks for frontend; Docker builds and database migration checks for backend
  • Implements best practices — uses actions/cache for build acceleration, fixed version tags, matrix strategies for multi-version testing, and secure ${{ secrets.XXX }} references
  • Outputs complete documentation — generates workflow files in .github/workflows/ plus a README-CICD.md usage guide
  • Validates quality — checks workflow syntax, permissions, timeout settings, and failure notification mechanisms

How to use it

Ask Claude to create or improve CI/CD workflows for your project. Describe your project type (Next.js, Python backend, Go service, etc.) or let the skill auto-detect from your repository structure. Claude will analyze your tech stack and generate ready-to-use workflow files with appropriate build steps, caching strategies, and deployment logic specific to your framework.
