CI Package Workflow Skill

Create CI workflows for automated packaging.

When to Use

• Package phase of development
• Automating release process
• Building distributable packages
• Creating GitHub releases

Workflow Structure

name: Build Packages

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*'
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Mojo
        run: |
          # Install Mojo

      - name: Build Packages
        run: ./scripts/build_all_packages.sh

      - name: Create Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
        with:
          files: packages/*.mojopkg

Common Workflows

1. Build on Tag

Trigger on version tags:

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*.*.*'

2. Build on PR

Validate packaging on PR:

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'src/**'
      - 'scripts/build_*.sh'

3. Manual Trigger

Allow manual workflow runs:

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      version:
        description: 'Version to build'
        required: true

Best Practices

• Cache dependencies
• Upload artifacts
• Create GitHub releases
• Tag with version
• Test installation

See .github/workflows/ for examples.
