No way, I always use defaults.json for that!

I thought it was config.json at first, but action.yml makes sense.

Wait, is it really action.yml? I thought it was something else.

It's definitely action.yml that defines inputs and outputs.

I'm a bit confused; I thought config.json might be relevant, but now I'm leaning towards action.yml based on what we practiced.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and I think it was action.yml that had the details about inputs and outputs.

I remember something about inputs being defined in a YAML file, but I can't recall if it's inputs.yml or action.yml.

I think the file that defines inputs and outputs is called action.yml, but I'm not completely sure.

I've got this one! The file that defines the available inputs and outputs for an action is the action.yml file. That's where all the metadata about the action is stored, including the required inputs and the outputs it produces. I'm feeling good about this answer.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know the inputs and outputs are defined somewhere, but I can't recall which file it is off the top of my head. I'll have to review the documentation to be sure, but I think the answer might be E. action.yml.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. When I'm reviewing an action, the file that defines its inputs and outputs is the action.yml file. That's where all the metadata about the action is stored, including the required inputs and the outputs it produces. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the inputs and outputs are defined somewhere, but I can't remember if it's in action.yml or one of the other files. I'll have to think this through carefully.
