Add /ace slash command workflow that posts ACE editor session links on PR comments by Copilot · Pull Request #19741 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-03-05T17:59:23Z

Adds a classic (non-AI) GitHub Actions workflow that responds to /ace in PR comments, generates an ACE editor session URL, and posts a friendly reply inviting teammates to join via Slack.

Changes

.github/workflows/ace-editor.md — new workflow with:
- slash_command: ace + events: [pull_request_comment] trigger, which compiles to an if condition filtering for /ace in PR comment bodies on pull requests
- Custom post_ace_link job (depends on activation) using actions/github-script@v8 to build the session URL and post the comment
- strict: false with write permissions scoped to the custom job only
.github/workflows/ace-editor.lock.yml — compiled GitHub Actions YAML

Example comment posted

When a user comments /ace on a PR:

👋 Hey @username! Here's your ACE editor session link for this pull request:

🔗 https://ace.com/session/owner-repo-pr42

Copy and paste this link into Slack to invite your teammates into the session! 🚀

The session ID is derived from {owner}-{repo}-pr{number} for stable, predictable links per PR.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Create a classic action that triggers on comments on pull-requests. It responds to a slash_command and uses an if condition to filter for that command.

The action should:

Generate a link to the ACE editor (assume https://ace.com).

Post a comment on the pull-request with a friendly message.

The message should invite people to copy and paste the link into Slack to invite others into the session.

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.

Pull request overview

This PR adds an /ace slash-command workflow intended to post a stable ACE editor session link on PR comment threads, and updates the repo’s pinned action/version metadata and compiled workflow lockfiles to reflect updated action aliases (e.g., v7/v8) and a few new pins.

Changes:

Added an /ace workflow source (.md) and its compiled lockfile (.lock.yml) to comment an ACE session URL on PRs.
Updated action pin metadata (new/updated action versions and SHAs) used by the workflow compiler.
Refreshed numerous compiled workflow lockfiles to use updated action alias comments (e.g., # v7, # v8) and a couple of Docker action pin updates.

.github/workflows/ace-editor.lock.yml:268

The generated agent job depends on post_ace_link, meaning the Copilot/agentic workflow execution runs after the PR comment is already posted. This appears unintended for a simple slash-command responder and will consume runner time (and may fail due to missing agent secrets) even though the only desired side effect is the comment.

Consider preventing the agent job from being generated for this workflow, or ensure the agent job is not scheduled at all when only post_ace_link is needed.

    needs:
      - activation
      - post_ace_link

.github/workflows/ace-editor.lock.yml

+      - name: Validate COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN secret
+        id: validate-secret
+        run: /opt/gh-aw/actions/validate_multi_secret.sh COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN 'GitHub Copilot CLI' https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/engines/#github-copilot-default
+        env:
+          COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}


The compiled workflow is not a “classic (non-AI)” slash command handler: the generated activation job validates the COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN secret and the workflow includes an agent job that installs/runs the GitHub Copilot CLI. This makes the /ace command fail in repos that don’t have COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN configured and adds significant runtime overhead for what should be a simple github-script comment.

If the intent is truly a classic workflow, adjust the source workflow so compilation does not introduce the agent/Copilot secret requirement (or replace this with a plain .yml GitHub Actions workflow that only uses GITHUB_TOKEN).

This issue also appears on line 264 of the same file.

The PR description states this workflow posts a “friendly reply inviting teammates to join via Slack”, but the source workflow text hardcodes “Copy and paste this link into Slack” and doesn’t allow customizing the destination. If you want this to be reusable across teams/orgs, consider making the destination wording configurable (e.g., via a variable) or generalize the message (e.g., “share this link with teammates”).
