Extracted from [here](https://github.com/vercel/api/blob/main/.github/composite-actions/install/action.yml), initially so it can be used in `slack-metrics-preset` (as [here](vercel/slack-metrics-preset#288)). There's some discussion [here](https://vercel.slack.com/archives/C03S5U5AA93/p1749562929687589?thread_ts=1749560645.436149&cid=C03S5U5AA93) about where to locate reusable workflows. Technically, [Composite Actions and Reusable Workflows are different things](https://dev.to/n3wt0n/github-composite-actions-vs-reusable-workflows-updated-2023-bl8), but they're similar enough that the decisions about how to organize them will likely have the same answer for both.

Extracted from here, initially so it can be used in
slack-metrics-preset(as here), and potentially other repos.There's some discussion here about where to locate reusable workflows. Technically, Composite Actions and Reusable Workflows are different things, but they're similar enough that the decisions about how to organize them will likely have the same answer for both.
Extraction of common CI workflows allows the best-of-both-worlds of a monorepo and a polyrepo:
(EDIT: To be explicit - if this is merged, I would then advocate for removing
.github/composite-actions/installfromvercel/api, and replacing usages with a reference to this external definition)
