Workflow Skill Extractor — Shared Component Opportunities

[github-actions[bot]]

Overview

Analyzed 261 workflows in .github/workflows/ using the workflow index. Reviewed existing shared components in .github/workflows/shared/ (80+ files). Identified 3 high-impact reuse opportunities, prioritized by breadth and extraction complexity.

Method

• Parsed workflow-index.json to extract import co-occurrence patterns
• Cross-referenced against existing shared/ bundles to avoid duplicate recommendations
• Ranked by: workflow count x extraction complexity (lower = better)

Identified Opportunities

Priority	Recommendation	Workflows	Existing?	Issue
High	Migrate to shared/reporting-otlp.md	52	Exists	#47456
High	Create shared/guard-otlp.md	19	New	#47458
Medium	Create shared/smoke-engine-base.md	8	New	#47459

Impact Summary

• Total workflows affected: ~79 across all 3 recommendations
• Approximate line savings: ~166 import lines
• Key benefit: The reporting-otlp.md opportunity is a zero-cost migration — the shared component already exists, 52 workflows just aren't using it yet

Recommendation 1 — Migrate to shared/reporting-otlp.md (52 workflows)

shared/reporting-otlp.md already bundles shared/reporting.md + shared/otlp.md. However 52 workflows still import both files directly.

Example workflows: agent-performance-analyzer.md, agent-persona-explorer.md, approach-validator.md, artifacts-summary.md, auto-triage-issues.md, aw-failure-investigator.md, ci-coach.md, cli-version-checker.md, cloclo.md, commit-changes-analyzer.md, and 42 more.

# After migration
imports:
  - shared/reporting-otlp.md

Recommendation 2 — Create shared/guard-otlp.md (19 workflows)

19 workflows co-import shared/github-guard-policy.md + shared/otlp.md. A new shared/guard-otlp.md bundle would consolidate this pattern.

Workflows: auto-triage-issues.md, daily-agent-of-the-day-blog-writer.md, daily-doc-updater.md, daily-issues-report.md, discussion-task-miner.md, issue-arborist.md, issue-monster.md, issue-triage-agent.md, org-health-report.md, smoke-agent-public-approved.md, smoke-agent-scoped-approved.md, smoke-copilot-aoai-apikey.md, smoke-copilot-aoai-entra.md, smoke-copilot.md, stale-repo-identifier.md, weekly-blog-post-writer.md, weekly-issue-summary.md, weekly-safe-outputs-spec-review.md, workflow-generator.md.

Recommendation 3 — Create shared/smoke-engine-base.md (8 workflows)

8 engine smoke test workflows (claude, codex, copilot, copilot-arm, copilot-aoai-apikey, copilot-aoai-entra, gemini, opencode) share the core combination of shared/gh.md + shared/token-telemetry-check.md + shared/reporting-otlp.md. A shared/smoke-engine-base.md bundle would standardize the smoke test scaffold and reduce divergence risk.
