Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/daily-go-test-parallelizer.md and compare its frontmatter with the valid-model example in the issue. Review the referenced run and the agentic-workflows skill or debug.md for the safe-output failure. Done means the workflow uses an available model and completes without the reported model or missing-safe-output errors.

Description

agentic-workflows
Workflow Failure

Workflow: Daily Go Test Parallelizer
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/36640170370

[!WARNING]
Invalid or Unsupported Model: The agent failed because the configured model name is invalid, unknown, or unavailable for this engine/account.

This is a configuration issue, not a transient error — retrying will not help.

How to fix this

Specify a valid model for the selected engine in the workflow frontmatter:

---
engine: copilot
model: gpt-5-mini
---

To find valid models, check your engine/provider documentation (for Copilot see supported models).

If the error text is No model available. Check policy enablement under GitHub Settings > Copilot, the model is not disabled in the workflow but by Copilot policy. Enable the model under GitHub Settings > Copilot > Policies for the org/repo, or pick a model that is already enabled. This can also be triggered by a subagent (task tool) dispatch requesting a model that the policy does not allow, even when the main agent's model is enabled.

[!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
  • A safeoutputs CLI command was malformed and never invoked the CLI
Action Required

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/36640170370
Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

[!TIP]

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false
