Adds a new skill at .github/skills/debugging-workflows to guide agents on debugging agentic workflows.

Contents

  • Log download scripts - gh aw logs with filtering (date, engine, branch, firewall)
  • Run audit scripts - gh aw audit for single-run investigation with URL/job/step support
  • Workflow architecture docs - Execution flow, key components, compilation process
  • Common issue solutions - Missing tools, permissions, safe-inputs/outputs, network, timeouts
  • Advanced techniques - Polling in-progress runs, MCP inspection, firewall analysis
  • Reference command tables - Quick lookup for all debugging commands

Example usage

# Download logs from last week
gh aw logs --start-date -1w -o /tmp/debug-logs

# Audit a specific run
gh aw audit https://github.com/owner/repo/actions/runs/1234567890 --json

# Inspect MCP configuration
gh aw mcp inspect <workflow-name>
Original prompt

Add a new Agent Skills to guide the agents how to debug agentic workflows

.github/skills/debugging-workflows

the skills should include scripts to download workflow logs and workflow's summary, and docs on how agentic workflow works.

@copilot can you use this skill?

Yes! The skill loads successfully and provides comprehensive debugging guidance. I just invoked it with skill: debugging-workflows and it loaded all the documentation including:

  • Log download scripts (gh aw logs with filtering options)
  • Run audit scripts (gh aw audit for investigating specific runs)
  • Workflow architecture docs (execution flow, key components)
  • Common issue solutions (missing tools, permissions, safe-inputs/outputs)
  • Reference command tables

The skill is ready to use for debugging agentic workflows.
