agentic-workflows

A routing guide for GitHub Agentic Workflows, which are automated workflows that use AI agents in a GitHub repository. It directs requests to the relevant instructions for designing, creating, updating, debugging, or upgrading them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning or changing GitHub Agentic Workflows, including troubleshooting and upgrades.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find the right workflow instructions manually. It also accounts for optional repository-specific rules when they exist.

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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to agentic-workflows — 5 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.

Repository overlay (optional):

  • If .github/aw/instructions.md exists, load it with @.github/aw/instructions.md after loading the matched prompt/skill.
  • Precedence: repository overlay instructions override upstream defaults when they conflict.

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.
