GitHub Workflow Automation

Behavioral Classification

Type: Autonomous Execution

This skill executes GitHub Actions workflows and CI/CD pipelines automatically with minimal user intervention. It handles complex multi-step automation tasks independently.

Autonomous Behaviors:
- Generates optimized workflows from codebase analysis
- Detects languages and creates appropriate build pipelines
- Analyzes failures and suggests automatic fixes
- Coordinates multi-agent validation on PRs

Quick Start

Initialize Workflow Automation

# Generate optimized workflow from codebase analysis
npx ruv-swarm actions generate-workflow \
  --analyze-codebase \
  --detect-languages \
  --create-optimal-pipeline

Common Commands

# Optimize existing workflow
npx ruv-swarm actions optimize \
  --workflow ".github/workflows/ci.yml" \
  --suggest-parallelization

# Analyze failed runs
gh run view <run-id> --json jobs,conclusion | \
  npx ruv-swarm actions analyze-failure \
    --suggest-fixes

Core Capabilities

Swarm-Powered GitHub Modes

8 specialized modes for different GitHub workflows. See modes.md for details.

Workflow Templates

Production-ready templates for common scenarios. See templates.md.

• Intelligent CI with swarms
• Multi-language detection
• Adaptive security scanning
• Self-healing pipeline
• Progressive deployment
• Performance regression detection
• PR validation swarm
• Intelligent release

Integration Checklist

# Quick setup verification
gh auth status                    # GitHub CLI authenticated
node --version                    # Node.js v16+
npx claude-flow@alpha --version   # claude-flow available
ls .github/workflows/             # Workflows directory exists

Setup Script

#!/bin/bash
# Install dependencies
npm install -g claude-flow@alpha

# Verify GitHub CLI
gh auth status || gh auth login

# Create workflow directory
mkdir -p .github/workflows

# Generate initial workflow
npx ruv-swarm actions generate-workflow \
  --analyze-codebase \
  --create-optimal-pipeline > .github/workflows/ci.yml
