That's a fun little demo but won't it go into an infinite loop? Commit to main causes workflow to run which commits to main which causes workflow to run and so on..

GitHub Actions has protection against that built in - commits made by a GitHub Actions workflow won't trigger any subsequent workflow runs

I’ve found Claude code to be absolutely terrible at iterating on GitHub actions. Happy to hear you had better luck.

The workflow it wrote initially failed because it forgot to add "permissions: contents: write" but I nudged it and it added that (at 5m20s)

This has traditionally been the sort of task where I’ve done way too many iterations on and ultimately hand coded it. I wonder if it’s editing existing ones that it was having difficulty with or just improvements in the models/prompting. Suppose I’ll experiment more soon. :)
