Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00024 | $0.01895 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00948 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00379 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00189 |
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 2d 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
86% identical to agentic-workflows — 56 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 — 178 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.
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
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
- Workflow files:
.github/workflows/*.mdand.github/workflows/**/*.md - Workflow lock files:
.github/workflows/*.lock.yml - Shared components:
.github/workflows/shared/*.md - Configuration: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md
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.

agentic-workflows is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/apm (3,668 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,895 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to agentic-workflows, differing in 56 lines, and is treated as a copy.
