What is included

• @kcws/actkits/context
  • Read GitHub Actions runtime context from environment variables
  • Check common workflow predicates (push, pull request, release, tag, branch)
  • Build links to repository and run pages
• @kcws/actkits/input
  • Parse action inputs with Zod schemas
  • Resolve values from process.env and @actions/core inputs
  • Includes parsers such as zBoolean, zNumber, zJsonString, and zYamlFile
• @kcws/actkits/logging
  • Namespaced logger wrapper around @actions/core
  • printf style formatting and grouped logs
• @kcws/actkits/output
  • Type-friendly setOutput and setOutputs helpers

Usage

Parse typed inputs

import { parseInput, z, zBoolean, zNumber } from "@kcws/actkits/input";

const schema = z.object({
  dryRun: zBoolean().default(false),
  retries: zNumber().int().min(0).default(0),
  token: z.string().min(1),
});

const input = parseInput(schema);
// input is strongly typed from the schema
Copy

Work with GitHub context

import { getContext, isPullRequestEvent, getRunUrl } from "@kcws/actkits/context";

const context = getContext();

if (isPullRequestEvent(context)) {
  const runUrl = getRunUrl(context);
  console.log("Running on pull request", runUrl);
}
Copy

Log with namespaces

import { createLogger } from "@kcws/actkits/logging";

const logger = createLogger("release", "publish");

logger.info("Starting publish for %s", "my-package");
logger.notice("Version %s is ready", "1.2.3");
Copy

Set workflow outputs

import { setOutput, setOutputs } from "@kcws/actkits/output";

setOutput("version", "1.2.3");

setOutputs({
  published: true,
  artifactCount: 2,
  metadata: { channel: "stable" },
});
