distros/skills/githubrunner/SKILL.md
Self-hosted GitHub Actions runner with the full Overthink toolchain. Rootless-first — runs as uid=1000 with passwordless sudo (no root, no cap_add: ALL). Host networking retained for reachability. MUST be invoked before building, deploying, configuring, or troubleshooting the githubrunner image.

githubrunner
Self-hosted GitHub Actions runner with the full Overthink toolchain.
Shares the rootless-first posture with /ov-distros:fedora-ov,
/ov-coder:arch-ov, and /ov-coder:fedora-coder.
Image Properties
| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Base | fedora | | Layers | agent-forwarding, github-runner, ov-full, dbus | | Platforms | linux/amd64 | | UID / user | 1000 / user (rootless-first) | | Network | host | | Security | layer-level only | | Registry | ghcr.io/overthinkos |
Full Layer Stack
fedora(quay.io/fedora/fedora:43)- Transitive (via
ov-full):ov+virtualization+gocryptfs+socat github-runner— Actions runner agent, skopeo, podman, buildahdbus— session bus (for runner hooks)
Rootless-first posture
Runs as uid=1000 / user with no added capabilities. The
/ov-distros:container-nesting kernel RCA establishes that surgical
unmask=/proc/* works without caps. See /ov-distros:fedora-ov for the
full rationale and /ov-distros:container-nesting for the
mount_too_revealing() RCA.
The /ov-distros:github-runner layer and runner-hook scripts still
invoke sudo where they genuinely need root (e.g. for system-level
docker setup). Passwordless sudo is provided indirectly — if you
need it for your workflows, compose /ov-coder:sshd into the
layer list (it installs /etc/sudoers.d/ov-user).
Nested container support
Unlike /ov-distros:fedora-ov and /ov-coder:arch-ov, githubrunner
does NOT compose /ov-distros:container-nesting directly. Nested
rootless podman works only via ov-full's transitive dependency
chain. If your Actions workflows need first-class rootless nested
containers (with /dev/fuse + unmask=/proc/* security opts), add
container-nesting to the layer list explicitly.
For most CI workloads that spawn containers via docker/podman against the host socket (host networking covers it), the current composition is enough.
Registration
ov config githubrunner -e RUNNER_ORG=myorg -e RUNNER_TOKEN=<token>
# post_enable hook runs config.sh --unattended
Removal deregisters via pre_remove hook:
ov remove githubrunner -e RUNNER_TOKEN=<token>
Lifecycle
ov image build githubrunner
ov config githubrunner -e RUNNER_ORG=myorg -e RUNNER_TOKEN=<token>
ov start githubrunner
ov stop githubrunner
ov remove githubrunner -e RUNNER_TOKEN=<token>
Key Layers
/ov-distros:github-runner— runner agent, hooks, security config/ov-coder:ov-full— ov + virtualization + gocryptfs + socat/ov-infrastructure:virtualization— QEMU/KVM + rootless libvirt session daemon/ov-distros:container-nesting— not composed here by default (add if workflows need first-class rootless nested containers)

Verification
After ov start:
ov status githubrunner— container runningov service status githubrunner— all services RUNNINGov shell githubrunner -c "id"— uid=1000(user)- Check runner appears as "Idle" in GitHub org/repo Settings > Actions > Runners
When to Use This Skill
MUST be invoked when the task involves the githubrunner image, self-hosted runners, or GitHub Actions CI/CD. Invoke this skill BEFORE reading source code or launching Explore agents.

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Claude Code multi-agent support in Overthink — sub-agents, dynamic workflows, and agent teams, and how each drives the existing `ov eval` disposable beds to test and verify. MUST be invoked before authoring or invoking an ov sub-agent / dynamic workflow / agent team, wiring agent-lifecycle hooks, or asking "which primitive should drive the R10 beds?".

Mounts a virtiofs share tagged `workspace` at /workspace inside a VM guest via a systemd .mount unit. Use when a kind:vm entity shares a host directory into the guest and you need it auto-mounted (and re-mounted at every boot).

overthinkos/android
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
MUST be invoked before any work involving: the `kind: android` schema kind, a `target: android` deploy, the `apk:` layer package format (installing Android apps declaratively), AndroidDeployTarget, an in-pod emulator OR a remote/physical adb-endpoint device, or nested `pod → android` deployment. The first-class Android device + app surface that sits above `ov eval adb`/`appium`.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when committing, branching, pushing, merging, tagging, creating PRs, or approving/merging PRs with gh — the feat/-branch, R10-gated, never-force-push landing workflow across the main repo + the plugins submodule + image/<distro> submodules. Covers sync-to-upstream, branch/worktree pruning, the fork+PR path for contributors without write access, and cross-repo @github landing order.
