Workflow

February 26, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

End-to-End Lifecycle

  • Development starts with local coding + local data population for realistic UI preview.
  • PR CI validates quality/security and skill test suites.
  • PR Pages-verify validates production build/signing behavior without publishing.
  • Tag-driven release workflow packages and signs skill artifacts.
  • Pages deploy workflow mirrors release/advisory artifacts and publishes the static site.
  • Wiki-sync workflow publishes repo wiki/ docs to GitHub Wiki on main.
  • Scheduled workflows continuously enrich advisory feed and supply-chain visibility.

Primary Workflow Map

WorkflowTriggerMain Steps
CIPR/push to mainLint, typecheck, build, Python checks, security scans, skill tests.
Pages VerifyPRs to mainBuild Pages artifact and validate signing outputs (no publish).
Poll NVD CVEsDaily cron + manual dispatchFetch CVEs, transform/dedupe, update feed, sign artifacts, PR changes.
Process Community AdvisoryIssue label advisory-approvedParse issue form, create advisory, sign feed, open PR, comment issue.
Skill ReleaseSkill tags + metadata PR changesPR: version-parity + dry-run checks; tags: package/sign/publish release assets.
Deploy PagesSuccessful CI/Release or manual dispatchDiscover releases, mirror assets, sign public advisories/checksums, deploy site.
Sync WikiPushes to main touching wiki/** + manual dispatchSync wiki/ into <repo>.wiki.git and generate Home.md from INDEX.md.

Local Operator Workflow

StepCommandOutcome
Install depsnpm installReady local environment.
Populate local catalog./scripts/populate-local-skills.shpublic/skills/index.json and file checksums.
Populate local feed./scripts/populate-local-feed.sh --days 120Updated local advisory feed copy.
Generate wiki llms exportsnpm run gen:wiki-llmsUpdates public/wiki/llms.txt and per-page exports.
Run local gate./scripts/prepare-to-push.shCI-like pass/fail signal.
Start dev UInpm run devBrowser preview at local Vite endpoint.

Release Workflow Details

  • Version bump and docs parity are enforced for PR/tag paths.
  • Skill packaging includes SBOM-declared files and integrity manifests.
  • checksums.json is signed and immediately verified in workflow execution.
  • Optional publish-to-ClawHub job runs after successful GitHub release when configured.
  • Older releases within same major line can be superseded/deleted by automation.

Advisory Workflow Details

  • NVD workflow determines incremental window from previous feed updated timestamp.
  • Transform phase maps CVE metrics to severity/type and normalizes affected targets.
  • Community advisory workflow creates deterministic IDs (CLAW-YYYY-NNNN) from issue metadata.
  • Both advisory workflows update skill feed copies and signature companions.

Example Snippets

# manual release prep for a skill
./scripts/release-skill.sh clawsec-feed 0.0.5
# then push tag if running in release branch mode
# pages deploy depends on successful upstream workflow run
on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ["CI", "Skill Release"]
    types: [completed]

Operational Risks

  • Workflow permissions and secret scope misconfiguration can block signing/publishing.
  • NVD/API transient failures may delay advisory freshness.
  • Invalid tag naming or version mismatches halt release automation.
  • Local scripts and CI can diverge if operator machine lacks expected binaries (jq, openssl, clawhub).
