| description | Scaffold a GitHub agentic workflow from an existing skill |
| argument-hint | [skill-dir] [mode: ide|cicd|both] |
| allowed-tools | Bash, Read, Write |
Follow the create-agentic-workflow skill workflow to convert a local skill into a
GitHub-native agentic workflow.
Inputs
$1 — path to the existing skill directory to convert
$2 — optional mode: ide (Copilot Chat slash command), cicd (autonomous quality gate),
or both. Defaults to guided selection if omitted.
Steps
- Run the Phase 0 complexity gate — confirm the task warrants agent complexity
- If
$1 provides a skill directory, resolve and validate the path; otherwise ask
- Follow the create-agentic-workflow discovery phase: select workflow pattern
(Sequential / Orchestrator-Workers / Evaluator-Optimizer / Stateful), agent type,
trigger events for CI/CD, and orchestration design for parallel patterns
- Run
scaffold_agentic_workflow.py with the gathered parameters
- Provide post-scaffold next steps (secrets,
gh aw compile, etc.)
Output
Generated GitHub workflow YAML and/or Copilot agent definition files, with implementation
notes for the chosen agent type and pattern.
Edge Cases
- If
$ARGUMENTS is empty: begin with Phase 0 complexity gate, then guided discovery
- If the skill directory does not exist: ask for the correct path
- If the task is better served by a simple command: recommend it and stop (Phase 0 gate)
- Subagents in Orchestrator-Workers do not inherit parent permissions — remind user to
configure each worker's permissions or use a PermissionRequest hook
