Description
74% of all workflows in this repository (142 out of 191 as of Apr 16) copy-paste an identical 6-line noop reminder prompt block. This was identified as the single largest deduplication opportunity in the entire codebase by the Workflow Skill Extractor agent. The block reminds agents to call noop when no action is needed, and it is duplicated verbatim across 142 workflow YAML files.
A shared component (e.g., shared/noop-reminder.md) already follows the established pattern — 73 shared components exist and the top one (shared/reporting.md) is used by 104 workflows. Extracting the noop block follows exactly this pattern.
Expected Impact
Removes ~852 duplicate lines from the repository (6 lines × 142 workflows). Reduces future drift risk: if the noop guidance ever needs updating, it changes in one place instead of 142. Aligns with the existing shared-component architecture already used for reporting.md, observability-otlp.md, and daily-audit-discussion.md.
Suggested Agent
Workflow Skill Extractor or a new "Shared Component Extractor" agent. Alternatively, an existing agent with bash + edit permissions can scan .github/workflows/*.yml for the repeated block, create .github/workflows/shared/noop-reminder.md, and replace all occurrences with an inlined-imports: reference.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1–4 hours): find all 142 occurrences, extract to shared file, replace with import references, validate compilation.
