Provides YAML templates and patterns for GitHub Actions workflows integrating Claude Code for PR reviews, issue triage, CI failure fixes, and automation triggers. Use when creating or modifying Claude-integrated workflows.
npx claudepluginhub laurigates/claude-plugins --plugin github-actions-pluginThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Expert knowledge for designing GitHub Actions workflows that integrate Claude Code for automated code assistance, PR reviews, and issue triage.
Creates isolated Git worktrees for feature branches with prioritized directory selection, gitignore safety checks, auto project setup for Node/Python/Rust/Go, and baseline verification.
Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.
