.github/workflows/docs.yml:29
- This condition hard-codes a single repository slug. If the repo is transferred/renamed, docs builds/deploys will start getting skipped unexpectedly. Since the goal is to skip forks, consider checking the fork flag instead (e.g.,
github.event.repository.fork == false) orgithub.repository_owner == 'github'to keep the workflow robust to renames/transfers.
if: github.repository == 'github/spec-kit'

Summary
Add
if: github.repository == 'github/spec-kit'to both the build and deploy jobs in the docs workflow so they skip with success on forks.Problem
The "Deploy Documentation to Pages" workflow triggers on forks even when no
docs/files changed, causing failed workflow runs for contributors.Solution
Both jobs now check the repository name and skip immediately on forks, showing a green checkmark instead of a failure.
