What the skill teaches
This gh-aw skill helps a user lower the AI token use and cost of GitHub Agentic Workflows in their repository. It tells the agent to load gh-aw's reference files on workflows, token optimisation, editing and syntax from the github/gh-aw repository, then measure current usage and apply the reduction methods those files describe, with separate entry points depending on which guardrail is involved. It loads experiment and other guides only when they apply.
Capabilities
- Measure token use of an agentic workflow
- Apply gh-aw's token reduction techniques
- Edit workflow configuration to lower cost
