Research direction

Read .github/workflows/workflow-skills-editor.md alongside the “Compile defaults” rule in .github/workflows/guidelines.md. Update step 4 to use the plain gh aw compile command by default, leaving --validate as an optional targeted check; the change is done when the instruction matches the guideline.

File reviewed

.github/workflows/workflow-skills-editor.md

Violations

Compile defaults — --validate used as mandatory default

Offending text:

  1. Compile every modified workflow source with the agentic-workflows compile
    tool using --validate.

Suggested fix:
Per the "Compile defaults" rule in .github/workflows/guidelines.md, gh aw compile (without --validate) should be the default command; --validate should be reserved for targeted troubleshooting or explicit schema/deprecation audits. Update step 4 to use the plain compile tool call as the default, and only mention --validate as an optional targeted check when a compile error needs isolating.
