# GitHub Actions Runtime Upgrade Conventions
Use this skill when editing GitHub Actions workflows to address deprecation warnings about action runtimes (for example Node.js runtime migrations).
## Use This Skill When
- Workflow logs report an action is running on a deprecated runtime.
- You are upgrading action versions in `.github/workflows/*.yml` or `.github/workflows/*.yaml`.
- You need to keep existing workflow behavior while modernizing action dependencies.
## Upgrade Rules
- Prefer upgrading to the latest stable **major** version of each action that is compatible with the workflow.
- Prefer immutable pins: resolve the target release to a full commit SHA and use that SHA in `uses:`.
