Do I need to recompile every time I change my workflow?

You only need to recompile using 'gh aw compile' if you change the YAML frontmatter (triggers, tools, or permissions); changes to the markdown instructions do not require recompilation.

Can I use custom tools with these workflows?

Yes, it supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing you to integrate custom tools, bash scripts, or web browsing capabilities directly into your agentic logic.

GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) is a framework for writing automation workflows in markdown that an AI agent executes within a secure GitHub Actions environment.

Which AI engines are supported?

The skill supports GitHub Copilot, Anthropic's Claude, and OpenAI's Codex engines, which can be configured via repository secrets.

How does this skill handle security?

It implements 'safe-outputs' for pre-approved write operations, sandboxed execution, and strict network allowlists to prevent unauthorized data egress or accidental damage.
