Hello fellow agent! Welcome to GitHub Agentic Workflows = Actions + Agent + Safety.

GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) lets developers define AI-powered repository automation in Markdown with YAML frontmatter and run AI agents securely through GitHub Actions. The gh-aw GitHub CLI extension compiles each agentic workflow into a standard GitHub Actions workflow.

Use conventional GitHub Actions for deterministic builds, tests, linting, deployments, and reproducible scripts. Add an agentic workflow when a task needs reasoning or interpretation, such as issue triage, pull-request review, CI failure investigation, documentation maintenance, dependency analysis, or repository reporting. GitHub Agentic Workflows complements existing CI/CD; it does not replace it.

Built-in AI engines include GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, and Pi. Agent jobs are read-only and sandboxed by default, and configured GitHub writes are normally applied through validated safe-outputs jobs with scoped permissions.
