Workflow Skill Extraction Report — Shared Import Opportunities (258 workflows)

[github-actions[bot]]

Overview

Analyzed all 258 workflows in .github/workflows/ to identify high-impact shared component opportunities. The analysis used the workflow index (workflow-index.json) to map import patterns, engine usage, and tool configurations across the repository.

Existing shared components: 65+ files in .github/workflows/shared/, including the key reporting-otlp.md bundle (already in use by 6 smoke workflows).

Key Metrics

Metric	Value
Total workflows analyzed	258
Workflows using shared/otlp.md	233 (90%)
Workflows using shared/reporting.md	54 (21%)
Workflows using shared/github-guard-policy.md	19 (7%)
Workflows using shared/mcp/serena-go.md	15 (6%)
Distinct import paths in use	65
Most common import combo	(otlp.md) alone — 113 workflows

Identified Opportunities by Priority

🔴 High — #aw_skill_rep_otlp

Migrate 53 workflows from dual reporting.md + otlp.md to shared/reporting-otlp.md

A combined bundle already exists and is proven (6 smoke workflows). 53 additional workflows still import both components separately.

• Workflows affected: 53
• Lines saved: 53 import lines
• Complexity: Near-zero (component exists, pure search-and-replace)
• Benefit: Consistent telemetry+formatting; single update point for future changes

🟡 Medium — #aw_skill_guard_otlp

Create shared/guard-otlp.md bundle for github-guard-policy + otlp pairing

7 workflows use exactly this pair. 8 more workflows use guard + reporting + otlp (could collapse to guard + reporting-otlp.md). Bundling encodes the invariant that guard-policy workflows should always emit telemetry.

• Workflows affected: 15
• Lines saved: 15 import lines
• Complexity: Low (create 1 new file, update 15 workflows)
• Benefit: Enforces telemetry discipline for community-write workflows

🟡 Medium — #aw_skill_serena_otlp

Create shared/serena-otlp.md bundle for serena-go + otlp pairing

8 workflows doing semantic Go code analysis use exactly this pair. This is a stable, semantically coherent coupling.

• Workflows affected: 8
• Lines saved: 8 import lines
• Complexity: Low (create 1 new file, update 8 workflows)
• Benefit: New Go-analysis workflows get telemetry by default

Impact Summary

Recommendation	Priority	Workflows	Import Lines Saved	New Files
Migrate to reporting-otlp.md	High	53	53	0
Create guard-otlp.md	Medium	15	15	1
Create serena-otlp.md	Medium	8	8	1
Total		76	76	2

Method

1. Loaded workflow-index.json (258 entries with imports, engine, tool flags, frontmatter previews)
2. Computed import frequency and co-occurrence across all workflows
3. Compared against existing 65+ shared components to avoid duplicates
4. Ranked by: (a) workflows affected, (b) lines saved, (c) extraction complexity
5. Validated that reporting-otlp.md pattern is already proven and scalable

Not Recommended (Why)

• daily-audit-base.md / daily-issue-base.md — these shared files exist but have 0 users; no action needed
• Engine-specific bundles (e.g., copilot + otlp) — engine is frontmatter, not an import; not extractable as a shared skill
• Minor 2-workflow similarities — too low impact relative to maintenance overhead
