github-workflow-automation FAQ

Is this a substitute for manual code review?

No. The skill provides AI assistance for workflow automation but does not replace expert review, environment-specific validation, or testing. Always validate outputs before deploying to production.

What permissions do I need?

You need appropriate GitHub repository permissions to create and modify workflows, manage issues, and handle pull requests. Specific requirements depend on your automation scope.

Can I use this with private repositories?

Yes, the patterns work with both public and private repositories, but you must have the necessary access permissions configured.

What if the automation doesn't match my workflow?

Stop and ask for clarification on your specific requirements, success criteria, and safety boundaries. The skill is designed for common patterns but may need customization for unique setups.
