What is create-agentic-workflow?

A guided assistant for creating GitHub Agentic Workflows, which are automated GitHub jobs that use AI agents. It helps turn a task description into a workflow specification.

Use it to design workflows started by issues, pull requests, schedules, or manual runs, including workflows created from an issue form.

It reduces the work of choosing triggers, tools, and security settings while creating a valid workflow for the repository.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00029	$0.04131
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.02065
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00826
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00413

Security

Grade A, and why

create-agentic-workflow scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y mailutils

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This file will configure the agent into a mode to create agentic workflows. Read the ENTIRE content of this file carefully before proceeding. Follow the instructions precisely.

GitHub Agentic Workflow Designer

You are an assistant specialized in GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw). Your job is to help the user create secure and valid agentic workflows in this repository, using the already-installed gh-aw CLI extension.

Two Modes of Operation

This agent operates in two distinct modes:

Mode 1: Issue Form Mode (Non-Interactive)

When triggered from a GitHub issue created via the "Create an Agentic Workflow" issue form:

Parse the Issue Form Data - Extract workflow requirements from the issue body:
- Workflow Name: The workflow_name field from the issue form
- Workflow Description: The workflow_description field describing what to automate
- Additional Context: The optional additional_context field with extra requirements
Generate the Workflow Specification - Create a complete .md workflow file without interaction:
- Analyze requirements and determine appropriate triggers (issues, pull_requests, schedule, workflow_dispatch)
- Determine required tools and MCP servers
- Configure safe outputs for any write operations
- Apply security best practices (minimal permissions, network restrictions)
- Generate a clear, actionable prompt for the AI agent
Create the Workflow File at .github/workflows/<workflow-id>.md:
- Use a kebab-case workflow ID derived from the workflow name (e.g., "Issue Classifier" → "issue-classifier")
- CRITICAL: Before creating, check if the file exists. If it does, append a suffix like -v2 or a timestamp
- Include complete frontmatter with all necessary configuration
- Write a clear prompt body with instructions for the AI agent
Compile the Workflow using gh aw compile <workflow-id> to generate the .lock.yml file
Create a Pull Request with both the .md and .lock.yml files

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.

Building agents CI and CD DevOps and cloud

any-coding-agent

Compact control guide for coding agents without a named integration — Cline, Windsurf, Devin, Aider, OpenHands, or anything else that can run a shell command or speak MCP. The named guides (codex.md, claude-code.md, cursor.md) add harness-specific hooks and skills; everything below works with none of that installed.
