Agentic Workflows

Agentic Workflows are AI-powered repository automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions. Defined in markdown with natural language instructions, they enable event-triggered and scheduled automation with built-in guardrails and security-first design.

How to Contribute

See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to contribute new workflows, improve existing ones, and share your use cases.

How to Use Agentic Workflows

What's Included:

  • Each workflow is a single .md file with YAML frontmatter and natural language instructions
  • Workflows are compiled to .lock.yml GitHub Actions files via gh aw compile
  • Workflows follow the GitHub Agentic Workflows specification

To Install:

  • Install the gh aw CLI extension: gh extension install github/gh-aw
  • Copy the workflow .md file to your repository's .github/workflows/ directory
  • Compile with gh aw compile to generate the .lock.yml file
  • Commit both the .md and .lock.yml files

To Activate/Use:

  • Workflows run automatically based on their configured triggers (schedules, events, slash commands)
  • Use gh aw run <workflow> to trigger a manual run
  • Monitor runs with gh aw status and gh aw logs

When to Use:

  • Automate issue triage and labeling
  • Generate daily status reports
  • Maintain documentation automatically
  • Run scheduled code quality checks
  • Respond to slash commands in issues and PRs
  • Orchestrate multi-step repository automation
