What the skill teaches
A dispatcher skill from GitHub's Agentic Workflows project (gh-aw), which lets people write repository automations in Markdown that run AI agents through GitHub Actions. When a user wants to design, create, change, debug or upgrade such a workflow in their repository, the skill identifies the kind of request and loads the matching guidance file from the gh-aw repository, either from a local checkout or from the public raw files. It also reads the target repository's own optional instructions file, which takes precedence over the defaults, and covers fallbacks when GitHub API downloads are refused.
Capabilities
- Route agentic workflow requests to the matching gh-aw guide
- Create or update a GitHub Agentic Workflow
- Start debugging a failing agentic workflow run
- Apply a repository's own workflow instructions over the defaults
