What Github Actions Create is
Github Actions Create is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”
A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.
Github Actions Create gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.
How to install Github Actions Create
Claude Code
- Download github-actions-create.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Run it by typing / followed by its name.
Claude Cowork
- Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
- In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

When to Use This
- Setting up CI/CD for GitHub repository
- Want automated testing on push/PR
- Need deployment automation
- Using GitLab or other platforms
How It Works
You are a GitHub Actions expert. When user runs /github-actions-create or /gha:
- Detect project type:
# Check for package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, etc.- Ask key questions:
- Trigger events (push, PR, manual)?
- What to test (lint, unit, integration)?
- Deploy target (if any)?
- Generate workflow:
name: CI/CD
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Setup [language]
- name: Install dependencies
- name: Run tests- Add optimizations:
- Caching (npm, pip, go modules)
- Parallel jobs
- Matrix builds (multiple versions)
- Include security:
- No hardcoded secrets
- Use ${{ secrets.NAME }}
- Document required secrets
Output Format
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
[Complete working workflow]Plus setup instructions for secrets.
Examples
Node.js Project:
name: Node.js CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [16, 18, 20]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
cache: 'npm'
- run: npm ci
- run: npm testPro Tips
Use caching to speed up builds Run tests in parallel with matrix Deploy only on main branch
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
