running-github-actions-efficiently
Cut GitHub Actions minutes and wall-clock time without losing coverage — the OS billing multiplier (macOS 10x / Windows 2x / Linux 1x), trigger hygiene that stops push+pull_request double-firing, concurrency that cancels superseded runs, dependency caching keyed on lockfiles, matrix discipline, and auditing scheduled crons that bill 24/7. Use when CI is burning included minutes, when runs feel slow, when setting up a new repo's workflows, or when reviewing an existing workflow for waste.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 2,017 stars are split between them (about 202 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 71/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 11a70aa680c0, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
