What does the GitHub Actions workflow optimizer check?

The optimizer analyzes your workflow YAML for performance issues: unnecessary checkout depths, missing caching, sequential jobs that could run in parallel, outdated action versions, and excessive runner usage.

Does it estimate cost savings?

Yes. The optimizer calculates estimated minutes saved per run based on suggested improvements, and translates that to monthly cost savings using GitHub Actions pricing.

Does it check for security issues?

Yes. It flags pinned vs unpinned action versions, use of pull_request_target with checkout, secrets in logs, and overly broad permissions.

Can I paste multiple workflow files?

Currently the tool analyzes one workflow file at a time. For multi-workflow repositories, check each file separately.
