Workflow Skill Extractor Report — Shared Component Opportunities (2026-04-23)

[github-actions[bot]]

Overview

Analyzed 200 workflows in .github/workflows/ against the 50+ existing shared components in .github/workflows/shared/. Analysis focused on import frequency, combo patterns, and gaps between existing shared skills and actual adoption.

The repository has a rich shared-component ecosystem — but adoption is uneven. The top finding is that shared/daily-audit-base.md (which bundles daily-audit-discussion + reporting + observability-otlp) exists and works well, yet only 10 of the 39 workflows that would benefit from it are using it.

Method

• Counted import frequencies across all 200 workflow markdown files
• Identified recurring import combos used by 3+ workflows
• Cross-referenced against existing shared components to detect gaps
• Prioritized by: frequency × extraction complexity

Identified Opportunities by Priority

🔴 High Priority

1. Migrate 29 workflows to shared/daily-audit-base.md — Issue [#28038]

daily-audit-base.md already bundles daily-audit-discussion + reporting + observability-otlp, but 29 workflows still import these three (or the first two) separately. This is a pure adoption gap — no new skill required.

• Workflows affected: 29
• Savings: ~58 import lines + free OTLP telemetry
• Complexity: Low (mechanical find-and-replace)

🟡 Medium Priority

2. Create shared/daily-audit-charts.md — Issue [#28041]

A new bundle for workflows that produce trending discussion reports with charts. Would combine daily-audit-base + trending-charts-simple. Eight workflows use this exact combo today, 6 of which haven't adopted daily-audit-base yet.

• New skill path: shared/daily-audit-charts.md
• Workflows affected: 8
• Savings: ~16–24 import lines
• Complexity: Low (create 1 file + migrate 8 workflows)

3. Create shared/go-daily-audit.md — Issue [#28040]

A new bundle for Go code-quality audit workflows. Would combine daily-audit-base + go-source-analysis + go-make. Eight workflows use go-source-analysis, and most need the same supporting stack.

• New skill path: shared/go-daily-audit.md
• Workflows affected: 5 (full migration); 3 additional partial
• Savings: ~10 import lines + consistent Go audit baseline
• Complexity: Low (create 1 file + migrate 5 workflows)

Impact Summary

Recommendation	Type	Workflows	Lines Saved	Complexity
Migrate to daily-audit-base	Adoption	29	~58	Low
Create daily-audit-charts	New skill	8	~24	Low
Create go-daily-audit	New skill	5–8	~10	Low
Total		42–45	~92	Low

Notable Observations

• The daily-audit-base.md adoption gap (29 workflows) is the single highest-ROI fix — no new code, just workflow migrations.
• shared/reporting-otlp.md (23 users) and shared/observability-otlp.md (22 users) are widely adopted independently; the daily-audit-base migration would consolidate these.
• Engines: 103 copilot / 47 claude / 9 codex across 200 workflows.
• 44 workflows have zero imports — some are justifiably simple (slash commands, job-only workflows); others may benefit from noop-reminder.
