Tool Submission for awesome-actions

I'd like to submit Workflow Guardian to the awesome-actions directory.

Details

Tool Name: Workflow Guardian
Repository: https://github.com/ollieb89/workflow-guardian
License: MIT

Description

A comprehensive linter and security validator for GitHub Actions workflow files that catches real security issues beyond GitHub's built-in validation:

Secret exposure detection — identifies leaked API keys and tokens in logs
YAML validation — schema validation and syntax checking
Runner security — best practices for runner configuration and isolation
Secrets management — compliance with secrets handling patterns
Audit logging — tracks workflow configuration changes

Why it fits awesome-actions

✓ Actively maintained and open source (MIT)
✓ Solves real security pain points for GitHub Actions users
✓ Direct workflow integration without extra infrastructure
