Research direction

Start with the failed run linked in the issue and the workflow description in .github/workflows/issue-classification.md. Read .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md for the debugging process, then determine why the run produced no safe outputs. Done means the workflow either generates an appropriate safe output or explicitly calls noop without reporting this failure.

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Issue Classification Agent
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34364189409

[!WARNING]
No Safe Outputs Generated: The agent job succeeded but did not produce any safe outputs.

This typically indicates:

  • The safe output server failed to run
  • The prompt failed to generate any meaningful result
  • The agent should have called noop to explicitly indicate no action was taken
Action Required
