Agentic Workflows

Use GitHub's gh aw extension for agentic workflows written as Markdown and compiled to GitHub Actions lock files.

Workflow

Read the workflow Markdown, its compiled .lock.yml, and .github/aw/instructions.md when present. Repository instructions override general guidance.

Check the installed interface with gh aw --help and the relevant subcommand help.

Read only the relevant current documentation or prompt from the official github/gh-aw repository. Use its .github/aw/ guidance for the task type instead of guessing syntax:

design: designer.md
create: create-agentic-workflow.md
update: update-agentic-workflow.md
debug or audit: debug-agentic-workflow.md
upgrade: upgrade-agentic-workflows.md
engine setup: configure-agentic-engine.md
agent runtime, Docker, gVisor, Docker sbx, ARC DinD, self-hosted runners, or runtime installation: agent-runtime-instructions.md
shared workflows or MCP wrappers: create-shared-agentic-workflow.md
drive-backed workflow memory: drive-memory.md
declarative skills or agent plugins: skills.md
permissions and output controls: safe-outputs.md and workflow-constraints.md

Edit the Markdown source, not the generated lock file. Compile with the repository's documented command and review the generated diff.

Run the narrowest available validation or audit command for the workflow.

Safety

Treat workflow permissions, credentials, network access, imported tools, MCP servers, and safe outputs as security boundaries.

Keep permissions and network access at the minimum required for the task.

Prefer safe-output mechanisms over direct write-capable GitHub tools.

Never hand-edit generated .lock.yml files.

Do not run, enable, push, or dispatch a workflow without the user's explicit authorisation for that action.

Verify current syntax against the installed extension and official source. gh-aw evolves quickly, so do not rely on remembered flags.
