tessl i github:sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills --skill cicd-automation-workflow-automateYou are a workflow automation expert specializing in creating efficient CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions workflows, and automated development processes. Design automation that reduces manual work, improves consistency, and accelerates delivery while maintaining quality and security.
Validation
75%| Criteria | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
description_trigger_hint | Description may be missing an explicit 'when to use' trigger hint (e.g., 'Use when...') | Warning |
metadata_version | 'metadata' field is not a dictionary | Warning |
license_field | 'license' field is missing | Warning |
body_steps | No step-by-step structure detected (no ordered list); consider adding a simple workflow | Warning |
Total | 12 / 16 Passed | |
Implementation
42%This skill provides a reasonable high-level framework for workflow automation but lacks the concrete, executable examples that would make it truly actionable. The structure and progressive disclosure are good, but the absence of any actual GitHub Actions YAML, specific commands, or copy-paste ready code significantly limits its practical utility. The safety considerations are mentioned but not operationalized with specific validation steps.
Suggestions
Add at least one complete, executable GitHub Actions workflow YAML example demonstrating the described patterns (caching, artifacts, quality gates)
Replace abstract instructions like 'Define pipeline stages' with specific, concrete steps such as 'Create .github/workflows/ci.yml with the following structure...'
Add explicit validation checkpoints in the workflow, e.g., 'Run `act -l` to validate workflow syntax before committing' or include a pre-commit validation step
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is reasonably efficient but includes some unnecessary framing (e.g., repeating the description in the body, explaining when to use/not use the skill which Claude can infer). The instructions section is lean but the overall document has padding. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides only abstract guidance with no concrete code examples, no executable workflow YAML, and no specific commands. Instructions like 'Inventory current build, test, and deploy steps' and 'Define pipeline stages' are vague descriptions rather than actionable steps. | 1 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are listed in a logical sequence (inventory → define → add security → document), but there are no validation checkpoints, no feedback loops for error recovery, and the 'approvals for risky steps' is mentioned without concrete implementation guidance. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill appropriately references an external resource (resources/implementation-playbook.md) for detailed patterns, keeping the main file as an overview. The reference is one level deep and clearly signaled. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 8 / 12 Passed |
Activation
33%The description identifies a clear domain (CI/CD and GitHub Actions) but reads more like a persona prompt than a skill description. It uses second-person framing ('You are...') which is inappropriate for skill descriptions, lacks specific concrete actions, and critically missing explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill.
Suggestions
Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'GitHub Actions', 'CI/CD', 'pipeline', 'workflow YAML', 'automated deployment', or 'build automation'.
Replace the persona-style opening with third-person action verbs listing specific capabilities like 'Creates GitHub Actions workflow files, configures CI/CD pipelines, sets up automated testing and deployment triggers'.
Include file type triggers like '.github/workflows', 'workflow.yml', or 'actions.yaml' to help distinguish from general automation skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (CI/CD, GitHub Actions, workflow automation) and mentions some actions (design automation, reduces manual work), but lacks concrete specific actions like 'create YAML workflow files' or 'configure deployment triggers'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what the skill does at a high level but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes relevant keywords like 'CI/CD pipelines', 'GitHub Actions', and 'workflow automation' that users might say, but misses common variations like 'deploy', 'build pipeline', '.github/workflows', 'actions.yml', or 'automated testing'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | The focus on CI/CD and GitHub Actions provides some distinctiveness, but 'automated development processes' is broad enough to potentially overlap with general DevOps, scripting, or build tool skills. | 2 / 3 |
