Automation (Core + Profiles)

This repository is a modular automation template you can copy into any GitHub organization as an automation repo.

It is intentionally generic:

• No assumptions about Jekyll/Hugo/Node/etc.
• Workflows look for build.sh / build.py scripts you can drop in later.
• Scripts are dependency-light and meant to be reviewed by humans before anything is published.

How to use (fast)

1. Copy this repo into the org as automation.
2. Keep core/ always.
3. Pick the profile(s) you need from profiles/ and delete the rest.
4. To actually run GitHub Actions:
   • Copy the workflow YAMLs you want into the repo root: .github/workflows/
   • GitHub Actions only runs workflows from that path.

What’s included

core/ (baseline)

• Repo health checks (low-assumption)
• Markdown link checks (best-effort)
• Ops docs and env/secrets examples
• Shared helper scripts
• Social posting templates

profiles/ (drop-in modules)

• newsletter/ — assemble newsletter drafts from modular parts
• data/ — validate + package datasets, draft releases
• research/ — build research artifacts (PDF pipeline placeholder) + release support
• website/ — deploy + check static sites (generic Pages deploy)

Convention

• automation is the source-of-truth library.
• Each project repo is the execution layer:
  • copy the workflows you need into that repo’s .github/workflows/
  • keep repo-specific config local to the repo.
