Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/markdown-dedup.md and the failed workflow run, then read debug.md and .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md. Reproduce or inspect the Markdown Dedup failure and verify that a rerun produces a safe output or explicitly calls noop without creating another missing-safe-outputs failure.

Description

Workflow Failure

Workflow: Markdown Dedup
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-workshop/actions/runs/35353030329

[!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

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/githubnext/gh-aw-workshop/actions/runs/35353030329
Manually invoke the agent

[!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
