GitHub Agentic Workflows is a GitHub CLI extension that lets developers define AI-assisted repository automation in Markdown and run it through GitHub Actions. It is intended for tasks requiring interpretation or reasoning, such as issue triage, pull-request review, CI investigation, documentation maintenance, and dependency analysis. The catalogue entries provide skills and agents for working with these workflows.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00012 | $0.00413 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00206 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00041 |
Grade A, and why
test-discipline 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.

What it actually says
Context
When APIs or public interfaces change, tests must be updated in the same commit. When test assertions reference file counts or expected arrays, they must be kept in sync with disk reality. Stale tests block CI for other contributors.
Patterns
- API changes → test updates (same commit): If you change a function signature, public interface, or exported API, update the corresponding tests before committing
- Test assertions → disk reality: When test files contain expected counts (e.g.,
EXPECTED_FEATURES,EXPECTED_SCENARIOS), they must match the actual files on disk - Add files → update assertions: When adding docs pages, features, or any counted resource, update the test assertion array in the same commit
- CI failures → check assertions first: Before debugging complex failures, verify test assertion arrays match filesystem state
Examples
✓ Correct:
- Changed auth API signature → updated auth.test.ts in same commit
- Added
distributed-mesh.mdto features/ → added'distributed-mesh'to EXPECTED_FEATURES array - Deleted two scenario files → removed entries from EXPECTED_SCENARIOS
✗ Incorrect:
- Changed spawn parameters → committed without updating casting.test.ts (CI breaks for next person)
- Added
built-in-roles.md→ left EXPECTED_FEATURES at old count (PR blocked) - Test says "expected 7 files" but disk has 25 (assertion staleness)
Anti-Patterns
- Committing API changes without test updates ("I'll fix tests later")
- Treating test assertion arrays as static (they evolve with content)
- Assuming CI passing means coverage is correct (stale assertions can pass while being wrong)
- Leaving gaps for other agents to discover
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.

test-discipline is a skill published in the GitHub repository github/gh-aw (5,091 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 413 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
c-github
Interact with GitHub using the gh CLI and jq. Manage PRs, issues, repositories, and Actions workflows. Make raw API calls with gh api for anything not covered by built-in commands.
watch-pr
Watch a GitHub pull request for CI status, reviews, comments, merge conflicts, and terminal states using the gh-watch extension. Use when the user wants to monitor a PR, wait for CI, or track PR progress.
watch-tag
Watch a GitHub repository for new tags using the gh-watch extension. Use when the user wants to be notified when a tag is created, when a release is cut, or when a tag that includes a specific commit appears (e.g. "tell me when my merge ships in a release").
watch-branch
Watch a GitHub branch for new commits using the gh-watch extension. Use when the user wants to be notified when new commits are pushed to a branch, monitor main for merges, or track branch activity.
watch-commit
Watch a GitHub commit for CI status changes using the gh-watch extension. Use when the user wants to monitor a commit's CI checks, wait for a build to finish, or track CI progress on a specific SHA.
update-architecture-docs
Generate or update the architecture documentation in docs/content/architecture/. Use on "update architecture docs", "generate architecture documentation", "regenerate architecture docs", or after any structural change to the codebase.
