What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents broken or insecure GitHub Agentic Workflows by guiding you to update gh-aw workflow files in a controlled, incremental way.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Scope-aware edits: Differentiates markdown body instruction changes from YAML frontmatter configuration changes so you know when recompilation is required.
• Production-grade safety: Emphasizes secure defaults (permissions), strict-mode validation, and safer output handling to reduce risk of unintended writes.
• Token and performance optimization: Provides guidance to reduce prompt/token usage by moving heavy data fetching into steps and using proxies and sub-agents.

Quick Start

Update only the workflow’s markdown body for agent behavior changes, and recompile the workflow with gh aw compile --strict only when the YAML frontmatter configuration was modified.
