Gh Actions Validator

Overview

Validate and harden GitHub Actions workflows that deploy to Google Cloud (especially Vertex AI) using Workload Identity Federation (OIDC) instead of long-lived service account keys. Use this to audit existing workflows, propose a secure replacement, and add CI checks that prevent common credential and permission mistakes.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:

  • GitHub repository with Actions enabled
  • Google Cloud project with billing enabled
  • gcloud CLI authenticated with admin permissions
  • Understanding of Workload Identity Federation concepts
  • GitHub repository secrets configured
  • Appropriate IAM roles for CI/​CD automation

Instructions

  1. Audit Existing Workflows: Scan .github/​workflows/ for security issues
  2. Validate WIF Usage: Ensure no JSON service account keys are used
  3. Check OIDC Permissions: Verify id-token: write is present
  4. Review IAM Roles: Confirm least privilege (no owner/​editor roles)
  5. Add Security Scans: Include secret detection and vulnerability scanning
  6. Validate Deployments: Add post-deployment health checks
  7. Configure Monitoring: Set up alerts for deployment failures
  8. Document WIF Setup: Provide one-time WIF configuration commands

Output

  - uses: actions/​checkout@v4
  - name: Authenticate to GCP (WIF)
  - name: Deploy to Vertex AI
        --project=${{ secrets.GCP_PROJECT_ID }} \
        --region=us-central1
  - name: Validate Deployment
