What the skill teaches
A skill kept in the GitHub CLI repository that routes requests about GitHub Agentic Workflows, the gh-aw system for running agents from GitHub Actions, to the right instructions. The agent decides whether the task is designing or creating a workflow, editing or upgrading one, debugging or auditing a run, or a specialised job such as shared components, MCP wrappers, Dependabot pull requests, token savings, telemetry or work queues, then loads the matching prompt file from the gh-aw repository and follows it. A repository's own instructions file, if present, is loaded afterwards and wins on conflicts. It asks a question when the right route is unclear and keeps its replies short.
