Missing dependency cache · Skills Registry CI
Set `cache: 'pip'` on your `actions/setup-python` step, or add an `actions/cache@v4` step keyed on your requirements/lock file.

No job timeout · Skills Registry CI
No job sets `timeout-minutes`, so a hung step can run to GitHub's 6-hour default. Add `timeout-minutes` to each job.
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15No path filters on triggers · Skills Registry CI
Runs on every push/PR with no `paths:` filter, so docs-only changes still trigger full CI. Add a `paths:` filter if that's common.

paths:
- 'src/**'
- 'package.json'No job timeout · Deploy Web App to GitHub Pages

timeout-minutes: 15Full-history clone (fetch-depth: 0) · Skill Review
checkout fetches the entire git history every run (`fetch-depth: 0`) and nothing in the workflow appears to read it. Remove the line; the default shallow clone is much faster on big repos. Keep it if a step genuinely needs history.

The schedule has no repository guard, so forks that enable Actions inherit the cron and burn their own minutes. Gate the job with `if: github.repository == 'owner/repo'`.

runs-on: ubuntu-latestPremium runners (macOS / Windows) · AAS agent-first preview
macOS bills ~10x and Windows ~2x a Linux minute. The cost estimate above assumes Linux, so your real spend is higher. Move any job that doesn't need them to `ubuntu-latest`.
