Research direction

Start with the linked workflow source, .github/workflows/copilot-pr-prompt-analysis.md, and inspect its repo-memory front matter alongside the failed run details. The report says the default memory snapshot exceeded the patch size limit and gives the max-patch-size setting as a possible adjustment. Done means addressing the reported push failure and confirming the workflow can push its repo-memory snapshot.

Failure details

📦 Repo-Memory Patch Size Exceeded: The repo-memory push failed because the memory data is too large.

Affected memories: default

To allow larger memory snapshots, increase max-patch-size in your workflow's repo-memory front matter (value in bytes):

repo-memory:
  - id: default
    max-patch-size: 51200  # Example: 5x the default limit (in bytes, default: 10240, max: 102400)
Copy a debugging prompt

Paste this into your coding agent:

Debug the agentic workflow "copilot-pr-prompt-analysis" failure.
Follow https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md
Failed run: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/actions/runs/39321668556

If the repository includes the agentic-workflows skill, load it before investigating.

Manage failure notifications

To stop creating failure issues for this workflow, set this in its frontmatter and recompile:

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

This only disables issue reporting; it does not fix the failure.
