Bare shorthands like `npm` or `pypi` are **not** valid. See `.github/aw/network.md` for the full list of valid ecosystem identifiers and domain patterns. +- **Single-file output**: When creating a workflow, produce exactly **one** workflow `.md` file. Do not create separate documentation files (architecture docs, runbooks, usage guides, etc.). If documentation is needed, add a brief `## Usage` section inside the workflow file itself. +- **Triggering runs**: Always use `gh aw run ` to trigger a workflow on demand — not `gh workflow run .lock.yml`. `gh aw run` handles workflow resolution by short name, input parsing and validation, and correct run-tracking for agentic workflows. Use `--ref ` to run on a specific branch. +- **CLI commands reference**: For a complete guide on all `gh aw` commands and their MCP tool equivalents (for restricted environments), see `.github/aw/cli-commands.md` diff --git a/.github/mcp.json b/.github/mcp.json new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b953af263 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/mcp.json @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +{ + "mcpServers": { + "github-agentic-workflows": { + "command": "gh", + "args": [ + "aw", + "mcp-server" + ] + } + } +} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md b/.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..40aa1a58f --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,35 @@ +--- +name: agentic-workflows +description: Route gh-aw workflow create/debug/upgrade requests to the right prompts. +--- + +# Agentic Workflows Router + +Use this skill when a user asks to create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows in this repository. + +This skill is a dispatcher: identify the task type, load the matching `.github/aw/*.md` file, and follow it directly.
