## TL;DR

GitHub Actions is GitHub's automation platform for workflows that run in response to repository events. This repair avoids plan and runner-size claims and sticks to official workflow, syntax, and runner documentation.

## Core Explanation

A GitHub Actions workflow is a YAML-defined automation stored in a repository. Events start workflows, jobs contain steps, and jobs execute on GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runners depending on the workflow configuration.
