github-agentic-workflows CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for creating and maintaining GitHub Agentic Workflows, which are automated workflows written in Markdown and compiled for GitHub. They document the project, available commands, branch roles, and required checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on workflow files, daily intelligence runs, reports, status checks, upgrades, compilation, branching, or merges in this repository.
Why use it?
They give agents the rules needed to author, validate, debug, upgrade, and merge these workflows consistently. They also clarify the project's quality gates when no ordinary test suite or linter is present.

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.

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

github-agentic-workflows CLAUDE.md 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.

CLAUDE.md — aw-author Plugin

Project

The aw-author Claude Code plugin (v1.3.2) at zircote/github-agentic-workflows. Provides skills, commands, and reference materials for GitHub Agentic Workflow (gh-aw) authoring, plus an autonomous daily intelligence pipeline.

Commands

  • /aw-author — Author, validate, improve, debug gh-aw workflow files
  • /aw-daily [--dry-run] [--skip-research] [--skip-implementation] [--no-merge] — Autonomous daily pipeline: research → Discussion → gap analysis → implementation → PR to develop
  • /aw-merge [--dry-run] [--no-reset] — Weekly develop→main merge
  • /aw-report [--deep] [--no-post] [--domains ...] — Intelligence sweep + Discussion posting
  • /aw-status [--domain ...] [--since ...] — Quick KB briefing
  • /aw-upgrade [--force] [--dry-run] [--no-merge] [--strict] — gh-aw extension upgrade cycle

Branching

  • main — stable production
  • develop — receives daily automated PRs
  • daily-intelligence-YYYY-MM-DD — ephemeral feature branches

Quality Gates

This project has no linter, type checker, or test suite. Quality gates are:

  1. gh aw compile — all .md workflows in .github/workflows/ must compile to .lock.yml with 0 errors
  2. gh aw validate — all compiled workflows must validate with 0 errors
  3. Cross-reference consistency — facts mentioned in one reference file must be consistent across all files that reference them

After editing any .github/workflows/*.md file, always recompile with gh aw compile and verify 0 errors.

Key Files

Path Role
skills/aw-author/references/ 9 canonical reference files — the core deliverable
.claude/skills/aw-daily/SKILL.md 9-phase autonomous pipeline
.claude/skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md Persistent append-only KB
.github/workflows/daily-intelligence.md Primary daily gh-aw workflow

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.
