The idea is you'll need to either create an Action or workflow FROM an existing Action (preferred), or create a new Action entirely. Look at what's on the Actions marketplace and build on one of those. Don't forget to write a blog post about it 😄
Hi @mishmanners
Thank you a lot for replying! I beg your pardon, but I find the phrase create an Action FROM an existing Action a little bit conflicting with the phrase in the original post utilize existing GitHub Actions to create workflows. As in your comment, it is suggested to create an Action while in the original post it is suggested to create a Workflow.
As the GitHub Actions Documentation states, Actions are “individual tasks that you can combine to create jobs and customize your workflow”. On the other hand, Workflows are “custom automated processes that you can set up in your repository to build, test, package, release, or deploy any project on GitHub”
So, am I supposed to create a Workflow from an existing Action or create an Action FROM an existing Action?

Thank you a lot for your help @blackgirlbytes and @mishmanners
I'm so sorry for any disturbance caused.
Feel free to create either one; an Action or a workflow. As long as it's new, and utilises an existing Action, and you write a blog post about it 😄
