# GitHub Actions Workflow Generator

Generate a workflow file for the requested CI/CD scenario.

## Defaults
- Pin action versions to SHA, not tags
- Minimal permissions (default: read)
- Concurrency cancellation for PR jobs
- Matrix builds when applicable
- Caching for dependencies

## Common Patterns
- on: pull_request → lint, test, build
- on: push to main → integration tests, publish
- on: tag → release artifact
- on: schedule → nightly builds

## Security
- Never echo secrets
- Use OIDC for cloud auth, not long-lived keys
- Pin third-party actions
