Route gh-aw workflow design/create/debug/upgrade requests to the right prompts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

Read only the files you need:
Load these files from `github/gh-aw` (they are not available locally).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dotnet/skills/agentic-workflows@sha256:aed4e47b8c55fd1e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.b0bf173, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
