Ran a real OIDC-to-AWS question through it: the skill's bundled topic map pointed to the current docs.github.com URLs (both verified live, HTTP 200), while an unaided memory-based answer would likely cite GitHub's pre-2024-reorg doc paths that now 404.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What GitHub Actions Docs does

Answers GitHub Actions questions — workflow YAML, triggers, matrices, runners, OIDC, secrets, reusable workflows, deployments, CI migrations — by routing to and citing the current official GitHub documentation rather than answering from memory. Triggers on Actions syntax, security, or migration questions; explicitly defers failing-PR-check triage to gh-fix-ci and CodeQL/Dependabot specifics to their own skills.
