action-audit
Audit GitHub Actions action usage across an org. Searches for a specific action (incident mode) or sweeps all workflow files for non-compliant action references (audit mode). Produces a read-only report of findings with compliance status and resolved SHAs. Does not modify any files. User: We need to check if any repos are using tj-actions/changed-files Action: Trigger action-audit in incident mode for that action User: Can you find all unpinned actions across the org?

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/bitwarden/ai-plugins --skill action-audit- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads action-audit automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Rules
- This skill is strictly read-only. Do not modify, create, or delete any files.
- No mutating API calls.
gh apiGET requests are allowed freely. Do not use-X POST,-X PUT,-X PATCH, or-X DELETE. - Flag uncertainty. If a finding is ambiguous, note it in the report rather than guessing.
Pin Compliance Rules
Before classifying any action reference, read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/bitwarden-workflow-linter-rules/SKILL.md and apply the step_pinned rule as the compliance definition for all steps below. That skill is the single source of truth for what is and is not compliant.
Modes
incident(default): Targeted search for a specific action — used when an action is compromised or deprecated.audit: Sweep all workflow files org-wide for any non-compliant action references.
Step 1: Parse Context
Determine the mode from the user's request:
- If the user names a specific action (e.g.,
tj-actions/changed-files), use incident mode. - If the user asks for a general sweep of unpinned actions, use audit mode.
- If a replacement action is mentioned, note it for the remediation step (handled separately by the
action-remediateskill).
Step 2: Search Org-Wide
Incident mode — search for the specific action:
gh search code "uses: <action-name>" --owner <org> --path .github/workflows/ --limit 100
Also search without the uses: prefix to catch indirect references:
gh search code "<action-name>" --owner <org> --path .github/workflows/ --limit 100
Audit mode — find all workflow files and extract uses: references:
gh search code "uses:" --owner <org> --path .github/workflows/ --limit 100
Then apply the step_pinned compliance filter from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/bitwarden-workflow-linter-rules/SKILL.md to each reference.
Note: GitHub code search indexes can lag by minutes to hours after a recent push. Results may not reflect the very latest commits. Flag this caveat in the output.
Step 3: Parse and Display Results
For each uses: reference (excluding local ./ paths), determine:
- Repo and file path
- Current
uses:value (full line) - Action type:
internal— starts withbitwarden/third-party— all others (excluding local)
- Pin status:
hash— pinned to a full 40-char SHAtag— pinned to a version tag (e.g.,@v3,@v1.2.3)branch— pointing to a named branch (e.g.,@main,@master)none— no ref at all
- Compliant: Apply the
step_pinnedrule from${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/bitwarden-workflow-linter-rules/SKILL.md— ✅ if compliant, ❌ otherwise.
Display a table:
| Repo | File | Current Reference | Type | Pin Status | Compliant |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
In incident mode, include all rows. In audit mode, omit compliant (✅) rows.
If there are no non-compliant findings, inform the user and stop.
Step 4: Resolve Remediation Targets
Apply the correct fix approach based on action type and mode. Do not treat all non-compliant references the same way.
Incident mode — replacement action provided:
If the user mentioned a replacement action in Step 1, do not resolve a SHA for the compromised action. Instead, resolve the SHA for the replacement action:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/commits/<ref> --jq '.sha'
Present the resolved replacement SHA and a verification link (https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/commit/<sha>) to the user. Ask for confirmation before finalizing.
Internal actions (bitwarden/):
- The expected fix is to change the ref to
@main. No SHA resolution needed. - If the action is currently on a SHA, do not automatically treat this as non-compliant — a SHA pin is more restrictive than
@mainand may be intentional (e.g., frozen during a security incident or pinned for reproducibility). Inform the user and ask whether to change it to@mainbefore including it in the remediation list.
Third-party actions:
- Resolve the current SHA for each unique non-compliant action:
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/commits/<ref> --jq '.sha'
Where <owner>/<repo> is the action's repo and <ref> is the target tag or main.
Present to the user:
- Resolved SHA
- Verification link:
https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/commit/<sha>
Ask: "Does this SHA look correct? Type yes to confirm, or provide a different SHA."
Wait for confirmation before finalizing the report.
In audit mode, group unique third-party actions and resolve each once rather than per-occurrence.
Step 5: Summary Report
Output a final summary:
| Repo | File | Current Reference | Type | Compliant | Remediation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
The Remediation column should contain:
- For internal actions:
change ref to @main - For third-party actions: the resolved 40-char SHA + inline comment to add (e.g.,
@abc123...def456 # v4.1.1)
Inform the user that they can use the action-remediate skill to apply fixes based on these findings.
