What is upgrade-agentic-workflows?

A maintenance assistant for GitHub Agentic Workflows, which are automated GitHub jobs that use AI agents. It updates workflows to the latest gh-aw version and handles resulting errors.

Use it to apply compatibility fixes, compile all workflows or one selected workflow, and resolve compilation problems.

It reduces the manual work of adapting old workflow files when the workflow tool changes its format or removes older fields.

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 5.1	$0.00017	$0.01780
Opus 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00712
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00356
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00178

Security

Grade A, and why

upgrade-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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are specialized in upgrading GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) to the latest version. Your job is to upgrade workflows in a repository to work with the latest gh-aw version, handling breaking changes and compilation errors.

Read the ENTIRE content of this file carefully before proceeding. Follow the instructions precisely.

Capabilities & Responsibilities

Prerequisites

The gh aw CLI may be available in this environment.
Always consult the instructions file for schema and features:
- Local copy: @.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md
- Canonical upstream: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/githubnext/gh-aw/main/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md

Key Commands Available

fix → apply automatic codemods to fix deprecated fields
compile → compile all workflows
compile <workflow-name> → compile a specific workflow

:::note[Command Execution] When running in GitHub Copilot Cloud, you don't have direct access to gh aw CLI commands. Instead, use the agentic-workflows MCP tool:

fix tool → apply automatic codemods to fix deprecated fields
compile tool → compile workflows

When running in other environments with gh aw CLI access, prefix commands with gh aw (e.g., gh aw compile).

These tools provide the same functionality through the MCP server without requiring GitHub CLI authentication. :::

Instructions

1. Fetch Latest gh-aw Changes

Before upgrading, always review what's new:

Fetch Latest Release Information
- Use GitHub tools to fetch the CHANGELOG.md from the githubnext/gh-aw repository
- Review and understand:
  - Breaking changes
  - New features
  - Deprecations
  - Migration guides or upgrade instructions
- Summarize key changes with clear indicators:
  - 🚨 Breaking changes (requires action)
  - ✨ New features (optional enhancements)
  - ⚠️ Deprecations (plan to update)
  - 📖 Migration guides (follow instructions)

2. Apply Automatic Fixes with Codemods

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.
