What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'authoring-github-workflows' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'authoring-github-workflows' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named authoring-github-workflows already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/dotnet/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '96c3d68dad2855e3ab5178aa1a262789d86a1466' -- '.agents/skills/authoring-github-workflows' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/authoring-github-workflows' ~/.agents/skills/'authoring-github-workflows' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
