github-actions-version-check
Check and update GitHub Actions versions. Use when creating, modifying, or reviewing GitHub Actions workflow files (.github/workflows/*.yml), or when asked to ensure actions are up to date.
What this skill does
# GitHub Actions Version Check Ensures GitHub Actions in workflow files use up-to-date versions. ## Prerequisites Install aver (GitHub Actions version checker): ```bash go install github.com/llimllib/aver/cmd/aver@latest ``` Or if aver is already in PATH, skip this step. ## Workflow ### When Creating or Modifying Workflow Files 1. **Before adding any action**, check what the latest version is: ```bash # Search GitHub for the action's latest release # Example: for actions/checkout, check https://github.com/actions/checkout/releases ``` 2. **Always use the latest major version** when adding new actions: - Good: `actions/checkout@v4` - Avoid: `actions/checkout@v3` (unless v3 is actually latest) 3. **After making changes**, validate with aver: ```bash aver ``` 4. **If outdated actions are found**, update them to the latest versions shown. ### Checking Existing Workflows Run aver in the project root: ```bash # Human-readable output aver # JSON output for scripting aver --json # Ignore SHA-pinned actions aver --ignore-sha # Only report major version updates aver --ignore-minor ``` ### Understanding Output ``` File Action Current Latest -------------------------- ---------------- ------- ------ .github/workflows/ci.yml actions/checkout v3 v4 ``` This means `actions/checkout@v3` should be updated to `actions/checkout@v4`. ### Exit Codes | Code | Meaning | |------|---------| | 0 | All actions up to date | | 1 | Outdated actions found | | 2 | Error occurred | ## Best Practices 1. **Pin to major versions** (`@v4`) not full semver (`@v4.1.2`) unless you need reproducibility 2. **Run aver before committing** workflow changes 3. **For SHA-pinned actions**, aver shows commits behind - update periodically 4. **Set GITHUB_TOKEN** for higher API rate limits: ```bash export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxx ``` ## Common Actions and Their Repos | Action | Repository | |--------|------------| | `actions/checkout` | https://github.com/actions/checkout | | `actions/setup-node` | https://github.com/actions/setup-node | | `actions/setup-python` | https://github.com/actions/setup-python | | `actions/setup-go` | https://github.com/actions/setup-go | | `actions/cache` | https://github.com/actions/cache | | `actions/upload-artifact` | https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact | | `actions/download-artifact` | https://github.com/actions/download-artifact |

appbuilder-action-scaffolder
IncludedCreate, implement, deploy, and debug Adobe Runtime actions with consistent layout, validation, and error handling. Use this skill whenever the user needs to add actions to an App Builder project, understand action structure (params, response format, web/raw actions), configure actions in the manifest, use App Builder SDKs (State, Files, Events, database), deploy and invoke actions via CLI, debug action issues, or implement patterns such as webhook receivers, custom event providers, journaling consumers, large payload redirects, action sequence pipelines, and Asset Compute workers. Also trigger when users mention serverless functions in Adobe context, action logging, IMS authentication for actions, or cron-style scheduled actions.
orchestrating-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. Use this skill when the user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, cross-phase troubleshooting, or data space and data kit management. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase sf data360 workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching phase-specific skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use observing-agentforce), standard CRM SOQL (use querying-soql), or Apex implementation (use generating-apex).

sf-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase `sf data360` workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching sf-datacloud-* skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use sf-ai-agentforce-observability), standard CRM SOQL (use sf-soql), or Apex implementation (use sf-apex).
