gh-aw-new

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create new GitHub Agentic Workflow (gh-aw) repositories correctly and consistently by using the official gh-aw CLI scaffolding process instead of hand-writing workflow frontmatter.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Official prompt-based scaffolding: Fetches the correct create-agentic-workflow instructions from the gh-aw project (and reads ALL instructions) before generating files.
• End-to-end workflow readiness: Produces the workflow .md plus the compiled execution artifacts like the .lock.yml and related agent/workflow supporting files.
• Repository-standard compliance: Ensures lock-file pinning, .gitattributes linguist/merge settings, and runs pre-commit checks after generation to avoid invalid or noncompliant workflows.
• Use Case: When you need a brand-new GitHub Agentic Workflow that will run as part of your organization’s automation baseline, this Skill gives you the safe scaffolding path from day one.
