Carefully review GitHub Actions workflow configurations to prevent subtle errors that can cause CI/CD pipeline failures or unexpected behavior:

  1. Ensure correct syntax in workflow triggers, especially avoiding nested quotes in branch names: ```yaml

    Incorrect

    branches:

Correct

branches:

  1. Always provide explicit IDs for steps that will be referenced by subsequent steps: ```yaml

    Missing ID that will cause reference failure

Correct with ID

  1. Use appropriate conditions for workflow execution, considering job skip scenarios: ```yaml

    May cause issues when dependency is skipped

    if: $

More robust handling of skipped jobs

if: $ ```
