Research direction

The issue is about fixing broken heading references in three markdown files: .github/workflows/side-quest.md, security-side-quest.md, and workshop-skill-activity-author.md. They currently point to '### 5. Validate agentic workflow snippets' in workshop-author.md, but the correct heading is '### Validate agentic workflow snippets'. Open each file, find the reference, and update it to match the actual heading. After editing, run 'gh aw compile --validate' to regenerate the corresponding .lock.yml files. Verify the changes by checking that the links resolve correctly.

Description

agentic-workflows documentation workflow-editor

[!CAUTION]
Protected files were modified in this change.
This pull request is in request_review mode and requires explicit human scrutiny before merge.

Protected files: .github/workflows/security-side-quest.lock.yml, .github/workflows/security-side-quest.md, .github/workflows/side-quest.lock.yml, .github/workflows/side-quest.md, .github/workflows/workshop-skill-activity-author.lock.yml, .github/workflows/workshop-skill-activity-author.md

Removes a small piece of broken duplication: three workflow files
(side-quest.md, security-side-quest.md,
workshop-skill-activity-author.md) each pointed learners/agents to a
shared procedure at ### 5. Validate agentic workflow snippets inside
workshop-author.md — but that section is titled ### Validate agentic workflow snippets (no number prefix, and it isn't the fifth heading in
the file). The stale numbered reference was likely left over from an
earlier version of workshop-author.md that has since been reorganized.

Files changed

  • .github/workflows/side-quest.md
  • .github/workflows/security-side-quest.md
  • .github/workflows/workshop-skill-activity-author.md
  • Regenerated .lock.yml files for all three via gh aw compile --validate

Why this is more Skills-like

The fix keeps the "shared procedure" cross-reference pattern (short,
DRY, one canonical source of truth in workshop-author.md) but makes
the pointer actually resolve, so an agent or learner following the link
lands on the right section instead of a numbered heading that doesn't
exist. No behavior, trigger, permission, or safe-output changes — this
is a pure accuracy fix to existing shared guidance text.

[!WARNING]

Firewall blocked 1 domain

The following domain was blocked by the firewall during workflow execution:

  • api.github.com

[!TIP]
api.github.com is blocked because GitHub API access uses the built-in GitHub tools by default. Instead of adding api.github.com to network.allowed, use tools.github.mode: gh-proxy for direct pre-authenticated GitHub CLI access without requiring network access to api.github.com:

tools:
  github:
    mode: gh-proxy

See GitHub Tools for more information on gh-proxy mode.

To allow these domains, add them to the network.allowed list in your workflow frontmatter:

network:
  allowed:
    - defaults
    - "api.github.com"

See Network Configuration for more information.
