Excerpt

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.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
