create-agentic-workflow

Installation
SKILL.md

Follow the create-agentic-workflow skill workflow to convert a local skill into a GitHub-native agentic workflow.

Inputs

  • $1 — path to the existing skill directory to convert
  • $2 — optional mode: ide (Copilot Chat slash command), cicd (autonomous quality gate), or both. Defaults to guided selection if omitted.

Steps

  1. Run the Phase 0 complexity gate — confirm the task warrants agent complexity
  2. If $1 provides a skill directory, resolve and validate the path; otherwise ask
  3. Follow the create-agentic-workflow discovery phase: select workflow pattern (Sequential / Orchestrator-Workers / Evaluator-Optimizer / Stateful), agent type, trigger events for CI/CD, and orchestration design for parallel patterns
  4. Run scaffold_agentic_workflow.py with the gathered parameters
  5. Provide post-scaffold next steps (secrets, gh aw compile, etc.)

Output

Generated GitHub workflow YAML and/or Copilot agent definition files, with implementation notes for the chosen agent type and pattern.

Edge Cases

  • If $ARGUMENTS is empty: begin with Phase 0 complexity gate, then guided discovery
  • If the skill directory does not exist: ask for the correct path
  • If the task is better served by a simple command: recommend it and stop (Phase 0 gate)
  • Subagents in Orchestrator-Workers do not inherit parent permissions — remind user to configure each worker's permissions or use a PermissionRequest hook
