BD running-github-actions-efficiently

Cut GitHub Actions minutes and wall-clock time without losing coverage — the OS billing multiplier (macOS 10x / Windows 2x / Linux 1x), trigger hygiene that stops push+pull_request double-firing, concurrency that cancels superseded runs, dependency caching keyed on lockfiles, matrix discipline, and auditing scheduled crons that bill 24/7. Use when CI is burning included minutes, when runs feel slow, when setting up a new repo's workflows, or when reviewing an existing workflow for waste.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 44/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 22 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (running-github-actions-efficiently) differs from the folder (github-actions)
    • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 100Steps. 16 steps
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3148 tokens
    • low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • +1No license
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 492: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 11 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 16 items
    • +4Has examples (11 code blocks)

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 84.
