Create GitHub starter workflow template #15

Description

@github-actions

Topic GUID: b4db7d20-aa6a-58dd-b5b2-3636837d50ad

Why

GitHub's "Actions → New workflow" UI shows starter workflows from .github/workflow-templates/. Adding templates here makes the workflow library discoverable directly in GitHub's UI for repos that have access.
Scope

  • Create .github/workflow-templates/ directory with template files.

Tasks

  • Create workflow-templates/python-ci.yml based on templates/ci-basic.yml.
  • Create workflow-templates/python-ci.properties.json with metadata.
  • Add icon and description for GitHub UI display.
  • Test that templates appear in "Actions → New workflow" for authorized repos.

Acceptance criteria

  • Template appears in GitHub Actions UI when creating new workflow.
  • One-click creates a working CI workflow using reusable workflows.
  • Properties file includes appropriate categories and description.

Implementation notes

  • GitHub requires specific file naming: {name}.yml + {name}.properties.json.
  • Templates must be in default branch to appear in UI.
  • Consider multiple templates: basic, full, with-docker.

Synced by workflow run.
