Github Agentic Workflows

If you're working with GitHub's new agentic workflow system (the markdown-based ones that compile to lock files, not standard Actions YAML), this skill walks Claude through the full lifecycle: authoring workflows with proper frontmatter and safe outputs, running gh aw compile and validate, configuring Copilot engine auth, debugging network policies, and handling reusable workflow patterns. It's opinionated about security defaults like read-only permissions and minimal tool surfaces. Use it when you're setting up or maintaining GH-AW automation and need Claude to follow the right operational patterns instead of guessing at compiler behavior or authentication setup.

Procedures

Step 1: Identify the repository state

Inspect the workspace for .github/workflows/, .github/agents/, existing .lock.yml files, and any gh aw usage.
Execute node skills/github-agentic-workflows/scripts/find-gh-aw-targets.mjs . when a Node runtime is available.
Run gh aw version before making compiler-sensitive decisions so the workflow authoring path matches the installed CLI behavior.
If the repository contains multiple candidate workflows, prefer the workflow the user named or the one closest to the active issue, pull request, or automation surface.
If the repository has no GH-AW setup and the task is to create or maintain agentic workflows, read references/authoring.md before editing.
If the task is limited to standard deterministic GitHub Actions YAML without agentic markdown workflows, stop and explain that this skill does not apply.
