Agentic Workflows Router

Use this skill when a user asks to design, create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows in this repository.

This skill is a dispatcher: identify the task type, load the matching workflow prompt/skill file, and follow it directly. Keep responses concise and ask a clarifying question if the correct prompt is unclear.

Repository overlay (optional):

  • If .github/aw/instructions.md exists, load it with @.github/aw/instructions.md after loading the matched prompt/skill.
  • Precedence: repository overlay instructions override upstream defaults when they conflict.

Read only the files you need:

Load these files from github/gh-aw (they are not available locally).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/agentic-workflows from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
