Quick brief

Use zizmor when an agent is reviewing GitHub Actions changes and needs a security-first gate before those workflows land. The agent can scan workflow files, flag risky permission scopes, catch untrusted input paths, and surface supply-chain issues such as unsafe action pinning. The boundary is narrow and clear: pre-merge GitHub Actions security review, not a generic CI platform listing or all-purpose GitHub automation card.
