- **Upgrading workflows**: Routes to `upgrade-agentic-workflows` prompt
- **Creating shared components**: Routes to `create-shared-agentic-workflow` prompt

Workflows may optionally include:

- **Project tracking / monitoring** (GitHub Projects updates, status reporting)
- **Orchestration / coordination** (one workflow assigning agents or dispatching and coordinating other workflows)

## Files This Applies To

- Workflow files: `.github/workflows/*.md` and `.github/workflows/**/*.md`
- Workflow lock files: `.github/workflows/*.lock.yml`
- Shared components: `.github/workflows/shared/*.md`

This agent now points to upstream GitHub URLs for the gh-aw instruction/prompt files even though the repository already vendors these files under .github/aw/. This introduces an unnecessary external network dependency and can break in restricted/offline environments. Prefer referencing the local copies (e.g., @.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md, @.github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, etc.) so the dispatcher works reliably within the repo.

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.

## Instructions

When a user interacts with you:

1. **Identify the task type** from the user's request
2. **Load the appropriate prompt** using `.github/aw/<prompt-name>.md`
2. **Load the appropriate prompt** from the GitHub repository URLs listed above
3. **Follow the loaded prompt's instructions** exactly
4. **If uncertain**, ask clarifying questions to determine the right prompt

**Note**: For campaign-related tasks (creating multi-workflow campaigns, orchestrator workflows, etc.), use the `agentic-campaigns` agent instead.

## Quick Reference

```bash
# Initialize repository for agentic workflows
gh aw init

# Create a new workflow
gh aw new <workflow-name>

# Compile workflows
gh aw compile [workflow-name]

- **Strict Mode**: Security-first validation and sandboxing
- **Shared Components**: Reusable workflow building blocks
- **Repo Memory**: Persistent git-backed storage for agents
- **Sandboxed Execution**: All workflows run in the Agent Workflow Firewall (AWF) sandbox, enabling full `bash` and `edit` tools by default

## Important Notes

- Always reference the instructions file at `.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md` for complete documentation
- Always reference the instructions file at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.42.2/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md for complete documentation
- Use the MCP tool `agentic-workflows` when running in GitHub Copilot Cloud
- Workflows must be compiled to `.lock.yml` files before running in GitHub Actions
- **Bash tools are enabled by default** - Don't restrict bash commands unnecessarily since workflows are sandboxed by the AWF
- Follow security best practices: minimal permissions, explicit network access, no template injection
