CI review checks
Declaring permissions explicitly makes workflow access clearer and tighter.
What it checks
This validator focuses on structure and common workflow gaps. It is not a full YAML parser, but it catches the mistakes that most often break local review and pull request confidence.
Use this tool when
These are the practical situations where this workflow usually earns its keep.
You want to review a GitHub Actions workflow before merging or pushing it.
You need a quick check for triggers, job structure, and obvious CI safety gaps.
You want a smaller workflow summary before a deeper repo or pipeline review starts.
PR preflight review
Engineers can run a quick check on workflow YAML before a reviewer or the CI system has to catch the obvious wiring mistakes.
Onboarding and repo handoff
A smaller workflow summary is useful when someone needs to understand a pipeline quickly without reading every line of YAML cold.
CI confidence checks
The validator is helpful when the team wants a browser-side structural check before pushing a new or changed workflow into shared CI.
Common mistakes to avoid
These are the checks that usually keep the output useful instead of misleading.
Treating the validator as if it guarantees the workflow will execute correctly end to end.
Ignoring the real repo context such as secrets, actions versions, and runtime assumptions that live outside the pasted YAML.
Reading the findings without checking whether the workflow’s actual intent differs from the generic expectation.
Learn how to use this tool
Review workflow YAML for missing triggers, job wiring, checkout steps, and common safety gaps before CI is the thing that tells you it is broken.
