create-github-action

Follow the create-github-action skill workflow to scaffold a traditional deterministic GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow (no AI at runtime).

Inputs

• $ARGUMENTS — optional workflow type or purpose (e.g. test, build, deploy, lint, release, security). Omit to start with discovery.

Steps

1. If $ARGUMENTS specifies a workflow type, use it to seed Phase 1 discovery
2. Follow the create-github-action phased workflow: confirm trigger events, runner OS, required secrets/environment variables, job steps, and caching strategy
3. Generate the .github/workflows/<name>.yml file
4. Report the workflow path and setup instructions (secrets to configure, badges, etc.)

Output

.github/workflows/<name>.yml with complete job definitions, trigger events, permissions, and inline comments explaining each step.

Edge Cases

• If $ARGUMENTS is empty: begin with workflow type discovery
• If the use case involves AI agents at runtime: redirect to create-agentic-workflow
• If secrets or environment variables are required: list them explicitly without values
