Overview
This public intake copy packages
plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/github-workflow-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses
metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
🔧 GitHub Workflow Automation > Patterns for automating GitHub workflows with AI assistance, inspired by Gemini CLI and modern DevOps practices.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: 1. Automated PR Review, ✅ What looks good, ⚠️ Potential Issues, 💡 Suggestions, 🔒 Security Notes, 2. Issue Triage Automation.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- Automating PR reviews with AI
- Setting up issue triage automation
- Creating GitHub Actions workflows
- Integrating AI into CI/CD pipelines
- Automating Git operations (rebases, cherry-picks)
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Patterns for automating GitHub workflows with AI assistance, inspired by Gemini CLI and modern DevOps practices.
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
- Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
- Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
- Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

1.2 Review Comment Patterns
# AI Review Structure ## Examples ### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly ```text Use @github-workflow-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer. ``` **Explanation:** This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository. ### Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review ```text Review @github-workflow-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why. ``` **Explanation:** Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection. ### Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution ```text Use @github-workflow-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding. ``` **Explanation:** This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default. ### Example 4: Build a reviewer packet ```text Review @github-workflow-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge. ``` **Explanation:** This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet. ### Imported Usage Notes #### Imported: Available Commands | Command | Description | | :------------------- | :-------------------------- | | `@ai-helper explain` | Explain the code in this PR | | `@ai-helper review` | Request AI code review | | `@ai-helper fix` | Suggest fixes for issues | | `@ai-helper test` | Generate test cases | | `@ai-helper docs` | Generate documentation | | `/rebase` | Rebase PR onto main | | `/update` | Update PR branch from main | | `/approve` | Mark as approved by bot | | `/label bug` | Add 'bug' label | | `/assign @user` | Assign to user | ``` --- ## Best Practices Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution. - [ ] Store API keys in GitHub Secrets - [ ] Use minimal permissions in workflows - [ ] Validate all inputs - [ ] Don't expose sensitive data in logs - [ ] Cache dependencies - [ ] Use matrix builds for parallel testing - [ ] Skip unnecessary jobs with path filters ### Imported Operating Notes #### Imported: Best Practices ### Security - [ ] Store API keys in GitHub Secrets - [ ] Use minimal permissions in workflows - [ ] Validate all inputs - [ ] Don't expose sensitive data in logs ### Performance - [ ] Cache dependencies - [ ] Use matrix builds for parallel testing - [ ] Skip unnecessary jobs with path filters - [ ] Use self-hosted runners for heavy workloads ### Reliability - [ ] Add timeouts to jobs - [ ] Handle rate limits gracefully - [ ] Implement retry logic - [ ] Have rollback procedures --- ## Troubleshooting ### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically **Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/github-workflow-automation`, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. **Solution:** Re-open `metadata.json`, `ORIGIN.md`, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing. ### Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review **Symptoms:** Reviewers can see the generated `SKILL.md`, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. **Solution:** Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it. ### Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization **Symptoms:** The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. **Solution:** Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind. ## Related Skills - `@github-issue-creator` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@gitlab-automation` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@gitlab-ci-patterns` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@gitops-workflow` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. ## Additional Resources Use this support matrix and the linked files below as the operator packet for this imported skill. They should reflect real copied source material, not generic scaffolding. | Resource family | What it gives the reviewer | Example path | | --- | --- | --- | | `references` | copied reference notes, guides, or background material from upstream | `references/n/a` | | `examples` | worked examples or reusable prompts copied from upstream | `examples/n/a` | | `scripts` | upstream helper scripts that change execution or validation | `scripts/n/a` | | `agents` | routing or delegation notes that are genuinely part of the imported package | `agents/n/a` | | `assets` | supporting assets or schemas copied from the source package | `assets/n/a` | ### Imported Reference Notes #### Imported: Resources - [Gemini CLI GitHub Action](https://github.com/google-github-actions/run-gemini-cli) - [GitHub Actions Documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) - [GitHub REST API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest) - [CODEOWNERS Syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners) #### Imported: ✅ What looks good - Well-structured code - Good test coverage - Clear naming conventions #### Imported: ⚠️ Potential Issues 1. **Line 42**: Possible null pointer exception ```javascript // Current user.profile.name; // Suggested user?.profile?.name ??

Imported: Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
