What this skill does
Agentic Workflows Router Use this skill when a user asks to design, create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows in this repository. This skill is a dispatcher: identify the task type, load the matching workflow prompt/skill file, and follow it directly. Keep responses concise and ask a clarifying question if the correct prompt is unclear. Repository overlay (optional): If .github/aw/instructions.md exists, load it with @.github/aw/instructions.md after loading the matched prompt/skill. Precedence: repository overlay instructions override upstream defaults when they conflict. Read only the files you need: Load these files from github/gh-aw (they are not available locally). .github/aw/action-container-substitutions.md .github/aw/agentic-chat.md .github/aw/agentic-workflows-mcp.md .github/aw/asciicharts.md .github/aw/campaign.md .github/aw/charts-trending.md .github/aw/charts.md .github/aw/cli-commands.md .github/aw/configure-agentic-engine.md .github/aw/context.md .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow-trigger-details.md .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md .github/aw/create-shared-agentic-workflow.md .github/aw/debug-agentic-workflow.md .github/aw/dependabot.md .github/aw/deployment-status.md .github/aw/designer.md .github/aw/evals.md .github/aw/experiments.md .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md .github/aw/github-mcp-server-pagination.md .github/aw/github-mcp-server.md .github/aw/instructions.md .github/aw/linter-workflows.md .github/aw/llms.md .github/aw/loop.md .github/aw/lsp.md .github/aw/maintainer.md .github/aw/mcp-clis.md .github/aw/memory-stateful-patterns.md .github/aw/memory.md .github/aw/messages.md .github/aw/multi-agent-research.md .github/aw/network.md .github/aw/optimize-agentic-workflow.md .github/aw/patterns.md .github/aw/pr-reviewer.md .github/aw/release-workflow.md .github/aw/report.md .github/aw/reuse.md .github/aw/safe-outputs-automation.md .github/aw/safe-outputs-content.md .github/aw/safe-outputs-management.md .github/aw/safe-outp …
