What the skill teaches
A short GitHub skill from the gh-aw repository with writing rules for the step summary a GitHub Actions job can publish through $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY. It asks for headings that start at level three with no emojis, the main status first, long logs and secondary data folded into HTML details blocks with a clear summary line, and commands, code and review findings in proper Markdown formatting. Inside actions/github-script it prefers the core.summary helpers, and it ends with a checklist to go through before writing.
Capabilities
- Structure GitHub Actions step summaries for quick reading
- Fold long logs into collapsible details blocks
- Format commands, code and review findings in Markdown
