# 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).
