| That's insane, so they are basically dropping support on a core feature of GH Actions? |

| What they are really saying is they don't want third party contributions. They don't have anyone triaging Issues or PRs so don't send them. They will occasionally make changes if it aligns with a new product effort driven from within the org. Saying they're dropping support is a stretch esp as very few people actually pay for their Support package anyway..... (Yes they do offer it as a paid option to Enterprise customers) |

| This is on the checkout action too, by the way. You know, the very first thing people put in their CI pipeline. |

| ▲ | weikju a day ago | parent | next [-] | | they probably have a half-assed plan to push some sort of checkout action copilot button instead of dependable scripts/actions. | | |
| ▲ | captn3m0 a day ago | parent [-] | | https://githubnext.com/projects/agentic-workflows/ > Instead of writing bespoke scripts that operate over GitHub using the GitHub API, you describe the desired behavior in plain language. This is converted into an executable GitHub Actions workflow that runs on GitHub using an agentic "engine" such as Claude Code or Open AI Codex. It's a GitHub Action, but the "source code" is natural language in a markdown file. | | |
| ▲ | woodruffw 20 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | This seems like a real headache to me. I understand the value proposition of LLMs in the development cycle, but CI/CD is probably the last place where I want any degree of nondeterminism. | |
| ▲ | kokada a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | This looks like backwards. I would understand using a LLM to generate a GitHub Actions YAML, but always running your action from a Markdown file seems extremely wasteful in terms of resources. Edit: ok, looking at example it makes more sense. The idea is to run specific actions that are probably not well automated, like generating and keeping documentation up-to-date. I hope people don't use it to automate things like CI runs though. |
