discover-workflows

A workflow recommendation tool for GitHub agent automations, which are repository tasks that run automatically in response to events or requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose suitable automations for testing, maintenance, code review, or other agent-assisted repository work.
Why use it?
It matches available workflows to the repository's language, framework, tests, continuous integration, and activity instead of suggesting unrelated options.

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

discover-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 34 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

discover-workflows

Recommend 1-3 workflows from the upstream githubnext/agentics catalog that fit the user's current repo. No local catalog — every call fetches the latest state from upstream.

Flow

  1. Detect repo shape: language, framework, test presence, CI presence, size (files, LOC), activity (recent commits). Use git and filesystem inspection only — no external calls yet.
  2. Fetch the upstream workflow list:
    • Prefer gh aw list (or equivalent listing verb) if it enumerates upstream workflows.
    • Otherwise, gh api repos/githubnext/agentics/contents/workflows to list available .md workflow files, and fetch githubnext/agentics's README or workflows/README.md for one-line descriptions.
  3. Short-list ~5 candidates by matching names + descriptions to the detected repo shape. Do NOT read every workflow's body at this stage — that's too many tokens.
  4. For each short-listed candidate, fetch the workflow's frontmatter only (gh api repos/githubnext/agentics/contents/workflows/<name>.md → base64-decode → parse YAML frontmatter). Confirm triggers, required secrets, and fit signals.
  5. Pick 1-3 whose frontmatter genuinely matches the repo shape. The recommendation IS the product — don't fall back to "here's the full list."
  6. For each recommendation, show: name, one-line purpose, why it fits THIS repo (one sentence, specific), estimated setup friction.
  7. Ask which (if any) the user wants to install. Hand off to /install-workflow <name>.

Hard rules

  • Never recommend a workflow whose required secrets the repo clearly can't produce (e.g. don't recommend a Slack-notification workflow in a repo with no Slack references anywhere).
  • Never recommend more than 3 at once. Two is usually right.
  • Never draft a custom workflow. If the user asks for one, point them at zircote/github-agentic-workflows and stop.
  • Never fall back to a stale or inline list if the upstream fetch fails. Surface the error plainly and stop — a broken network beats a stale recommendation.

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.

discover-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository verkyyi/github-agent-runner (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 542 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
