Quick brief

This skill is for teams that already use GitHub Actions and want Claude Code to enter the repo through a reviewable automation boundary instead of an ad hoc local session. It covers the operator workflow of wiring Claude Code into pull request, issue, and scheduled workflow triggers, then shaping prompts, permissions, and outputs so the run stays scoped to the event that invoked it.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke this instead of using Claude Code manually when the work should happen inside CI, on repository infrastructure, with durable logs and repeatable triggers. Typical cases include PR review passes, @claude comment handling, issue triage, and small bounded fix loops.

The scope boundary is narrow: this is not a generic Claude Code product card or a general GitHub Actions listing. It is specifically about running the Claude Code Action as a guarded repository automation surface inside GitHub Actions.
