Description

Adds an installable agentic-workflows skill for designing, creating, updating, debugging, and upgrading GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw).

The skill dynamically loads the current upstream create.md dispatcher and task-specific guidance, applies repository-local overlays, enforces read-only agent permissions with safe outputs, and documents a concrete issue-triage pattern for labeling, duplicate detection, clarification, and assignment.


Type of Contribution

  • New instruction file.
  • New prompt file.
  • New agent file.
  • New plugin.
  • New skill file.
  • New agentic workflow.
  • New canvas extension.
  • Update to existing instruction, prompt, agent, plugin, skill, workflow, or canvas extension.
  • Other (please specify):

Additional Notes

The skill intentionally keeps version-specific gh-aw syntax dynamic by fetching official upstream guidance instead of bundling a stale local copy. It has no bundled assets.
