agentic-workflows

A routing guide for GitHub Agentic Workflows, which are GitHub workflows that use AI agents to perform tasks. It directs design, creation, debugging, and upgrade requests to the relevant instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, changing, troubleshooting, or upgrading GitHub Agentic Workflows in a repository.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right workflow guidance when a request could involve several different tasks. It also keeps responses focused and asks for clarification when the request is unclear.

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

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 today.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to agentic-workflows — 18 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.

Agentic Workflows Router

Use this skill when a user asks to design, create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows in this repository.

This skill is a dispatcher: identify the task type, load the matching workflow prompt/skill file, and follow it directly. Keep responses concise and ask a clarifying question if the correct prompt is unclear.

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.
