GitHub Actions

Overview

You can use skills in CI/CD pipelines with the claude-code-action. This is useful for:

• Automated code review
• Blog post review on PRs
• Content validation
• Any automated Claude-powered workflows

Example: Blog Post Review

Here’s a workflow that automatically reviews blog posts when they change in a PR:

.github/workflows/blog-review.yml

name: Blog Writer Coach

on:
  pull_request:

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
  issues: write

jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}

      - name: Setup Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "lts/*"

      - name: Install orbitant-blog-post-review skill
        run: npx skills add weorbitant/orbitant-os --skill orbitant-blog-post-review --agent claude-code -y

      - name: Get changed blog files
        id: changed
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
        run: |
          files=$(gh pr diff "${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}" --name-only | grep -E '^blog/.*\.md' || true)
          if [ -n "$files" ]; then
            {
              echo "files<<EOF"
              echo "$files"
              echo "EOF"
            } >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
            echo "has_files=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          else
            echo "has_files=false" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          fi

      - name: Review blog posts with Claude
        if: steps.changed.outputs.has_files == 'true'
        uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
          github_token: ${{ github.token }}
          prompt: |
            Review the following blog post files changed in PR #${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}:
            ${{ steps.changed.outputs.files }}

            Use the orbitant-blog-post-review skill to provide editorial feedback.
            Post your review as a comment on this PR using gh pr comment.
          claude_args: "--max-turns 15 --allowedTools Read,Glob,Grep,Bash,Write"

How It Works

1. Install skill: Uses npx skills add to install the skill without Claude Code
2. Detect changes: Checks which blog files changed in the PR
3. Run Claude: Uses claude-code-action with the installed skill to review content
4. Post comment: Claude posts the review as a PR comment
