Authoring GitHub workflows
Writing Actions workflows, from a team that maintains some very large ones.
Installation
$ npx skills add dotnet/skillsThe CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in dotnet/skills, not authoring-github-workflows alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.
Summary
Writing Actions workflows, from a team that maintains some very large ones.
- Reach for it when beyond the generated starter workflow — reusable workflows, concurrency, permissions.
- Sits in Ship — branches, pipelines, releases and the deploy itself.
- Assumes ci/cd.
- Published by .NET team, who ship the thing it is about — a stronger claim than a well-regarded engineer having written something good.
- Installing pulls the whole dotnet/skills repository: this catalogue lists 4 other entries from it, and the repo may hold more.

The skill itself
The full text lives with its publisher and changes when they change it. Read it there rather than here — a mirrored copy of somebody else's procedure goes stale silently, and this page would have no way of telling you.
