Migrates GitLab CI configurations to GitHub Actions with syntax mappings and reports

  • Solves the task of converting GitLab CI/CD pipelines to GitHub Actions workflows
  • Depends on migration-core, actionlint, and GitLab/GitHub APIs for validation
  • Uses syntax mappings for jobs, variables, rules, and environments to translate configurations
  • Generates a migration report template and delivers it as a PR body and archived file

# GitLab CI Migration

## Files in this skill

- `mapping.md` — syntax/command mappings from GitLab CI to GitHub Actions, including how this platform's secret/credential references translate to `${{ secrets.* }}` / `${{ vars.* }}`.
- `report-template.md` — migration report template (fill placeholders, deliver as PR body and `.github/ci-archive/MIGRATION-README.md`).

## How to use

Always pair with `migration-core` and `actionlint`. Read `mapping.md` before generating workflows; use `report-template.md` for the migration report.
