Research direction

Read .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md, .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, and .github/aw/cli-commands.md to understand their existing structure and invocation guidance. Add the requested cookbook, evaluation-mode prompting section, and troubleshooting guidance, ensuring the three documented areas cover valid invocation patterns, expected outputs, and canonical fallbacks.

Description

agent-research
Persona Overview
  • Agent: agentic-workflows
  • Personas This Run: Program Manager, Legal / Compliance, Information Worker
  • Scenarios Tested: 4 (selected from 6 generated)
  • Average Quality Score: N/A (invocation/scoring unavailable)
Key Findings
  • Persona selection followed cache rotation and prioritized non-technical roles.
  • Six representative scenarios were generated; four were selected for efficient testing.
  • Scenario invocation of the target custom agent was unavailable in this runtime.
  • All tested scenarios were captured as invocation_unavailable with N/A scoring.
  • Partial-results reporting remains useful for tracking execution constraints over time.
Top Patterns
  1. Most common planned trigger type in this run: scheduled automation (cron) by design intent.
  2. Intended tooling pattern: GitHub reads + safe-output issue creation for reporting workflows.
  3. Security baseline expected: minimal permissions and constrained network/tool usage.
View High Quality Responses (Top 2-3)
  • None available this run because invocation was unavailable for all tested scenarios.
View Areas for Improvement (Top 2-3)
  • Add a documented, runnable local entrypoint for invoking persona prompts against the agentic-workflows custom agent.
  • Add fallback guidance for research workflows when direct invocation is unavailable.
  • Include a quick diagnostic matrix in docs mapping task type to valid invocation command.
Recommendations (Top 3 only)
  1. Add a short "agent invocation cookbook" to .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md with valid local and CI invocation patterns.
  2. Extend .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md with a compact section on evaluation-mode prompting and expected outputs for research runs.
  3. Add a troubleshooting section in .github/aw/cli-commands.md for invocation-unavailable paths and canonical fallbacks.
