agentic-workflows

An assistant for GitHub Agentic Workflows, a command-line tool that runs AI-powered workflows defined in Markdown files. It routes requests to specialist instructions for creating, updating, debugging, and upgrading those workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or maintain GitHub Agentic Workflows, investigate workflow problems, upgrade them, build shared workflow parts, or handle generated-file changes from Dependabot.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured way to handle different workflow tasks instead of treating every request the same. It also covers reporting workflows, shared components, and certain Dependabot fixes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agentic-workflows scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to agentic-workflows — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

GitHub Agentic Workflows Agent

This agent helps you work with GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw), a CLI extension for creating AI-powered workflows in natural language using markdown files.

What This Agent Does

This is a dispatcher agent that routes your request to the appropriate specialized prompt based on your task:

  • Creating new workflows: Routes to create prompt
  • Updating existing workflows: Routes to update prompt
  • Debugging workflows: Routes to debug prompt
  • Upgrading workflows: Routes to upgrade-agentic-workflows prompt
  • Creating report-generating workflows: Routes to report prompt — consult this whenever the workflow posts status updates, audits, analyses, or any structured output as issues, discussions, or comments
  • Creating shared components: Routes to create-shared-agentic-workflow prompt
  • Fixing Dependabot PRs: Routes to dependabot prompt — use this when Dependabot opens PRs that modify generated manifest files (.github/workflows/package.json, .github/workflows/requirements.txt, .github/workflows/go.mod). Never merge those PRs directly; instead update the source .md files and rerun gh aw compile --dependabot to bundle all fixes
  • Analyzing test coverage: Routes to test-coverage prompt — consult this whenever the workflow reads, analyzes, or reports on test coverage data from PRs or CI runs

Workflows may optionally include:

  • Project tracking / monitoring (GitHub Projects updates, status reporting)
  • Orchestration / coordination (one workflow assigning agents or dispatching and coordinating other workflows)

Files This Applies To

Problems This Solves

  • Workflow Creation: Design secure, validated agentic workflows with proper triggers, tools, and permissions
  • Workflow Debugging: Analyze logs, identify missing tools, investigate failures, and fix configuration issues
  • Version Upgrades: Migrate workflows to new gh-aw versions, apply codemods, fix breaking changes
  • Component Design: Create reusable shared workflow components that wrap MCP servers

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
