Before you use this component

This is a third-party source bundle, not an installation into your account. UI Discovery has checked the available redistribution license evidence; runtime behavior has not been tested. Review all files, use a disposable project first, and do not enable scripts or hooks until you understand their permissions.

Some integrations require separately installed software, API keys or paid services. Credentials and subscriptions are not included. These are Claude Code resources; other clients may require adaptation.

Extract the ZIP into a temporary folder, inspect its entry file and supporting resources, then follow the original instructions. Do not overwrite an existing project configuration blindly. Keep the bundled license and attribution notices.

# Act - GitHub Actions Local Execution

Execute GitHub Actions workflows locally using act: $ARGUMENTS

## Current Workflows

- Available workflows: !`find .github/workflows -name "*.yml" -o -name "*.yaml" | head -10`
- Act configuration: @.actrc (if exists)
- Docker status: !`docker --version`

## Task

Execute GitHub Actions workflow locally:

1. **Setup Verification**
   - Ensure act is installed: `act --version`
   - Verify Docker is running
   - Check available workflows in `.github/workflows/`

2. **Workflow Selection**
   - If workflow specified: Run specific workflow `$ARGUMENTS`
   - If no workflow: List all available workflows
   - Check workflow triggers and events

3. **Local Execution**
   - Run workflow with appropriate flags
   - Use secrets from `.env` or `.secrets`
   - Handle platform-specific runners
   - Monitor execution and logs

4. **Debugging Support**
   - Use `--verbose` for detailed output
   - Use `--dry-run` for testing
   - Use `--list` to show available actions

## Example Commands

```bash
# List all workflows
act --list

# Run specific workflow
act workflow_dispatch -W .github/workflows/$ARGUMENTS.yml

# Run with secrets
act --secret-file .env

# Debug mode
act --verbose --dry-run
```
