Stuck on [writing-js-actions] - unable to add an action

EDIT: SORRY I’m blind!!! I guess “actions:” does exist as something I am supposed to put in. I’m sorry!

Here is my yml file. I do not see any extra lines, spaces, or characters after this command like the screenshot suggests I have

Am I missing something?
