AgentRC prepares repositories for AI coding agents by analyzing their code and generating project-specific instructions, evaluations, and development configuration. It is used through a CLI, VS Code extension, or CI pipeline to measure AI readiness, keep context useful, and detect drift; the catalogue entries support these repository-preparation workflows.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00030 | $0.02836 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01134 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00567 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00284 |
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 1mo ago.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Agentic Workflows — 0 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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.
Repository Instructions Overlay
If .github/aw/instructions.md exists, load it with:
@.github/aw/instructions.md
Precedence: repository overlay instructions override defaults in this agent when they conflict.
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
createprompt - Updating existing workflows: Routes to
updateprompt - Debugging workflows: Routes to
debugprompt - Upgrading workflows: Routes to
upgrade-agentic-workflowsprompt - Creating report-generating workflows: Routes to
reportprompt — 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-workflowprompt - Fixing Dependabot PRs: Routes to
dependabotprompt — 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.mdfiles and rerungh aw compile --dependabotto bundle all fixes - Analyzing test coverage: Routes to
test-coverageprompt — consult this whenever the workflow reads, analyzes, or reports on test coverage data from PRs or CI runs - Rendering ASCII charts in markdown: Routes to
asciichartsguide — consult this whenever the workflow needs compact charts that render reliably in GitHub issues, comments, or discussions - CLI commands and triggering workflows: Routes to
cli-commandsguide — consult this whenever the user asks how to run, compile, debug, or manage workflows from the command line, or when they need the MCP tool equivalent of agh awcommand - Reducing token consumption / cost optimization: Routes to
token-optimizationguide — consult this whenever the user asks how to reduce token usage, lower costs, speed up workflows, or measure the impact of prompt changes with experiments - Choosing workflow architectures and design patterns: Routes to
patternsguide — consult this whenever the user asks for strategy, architecture, operating models, or pattern selection for agentic workflows
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.

Agentic Workflows is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/agentrc (1,109 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,836 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to Agentic Workflows, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
