Research direction

Open workshop/29-skills-and-domain-knowledge.md and find the SKILL.md link that points to reference/custom-agent-for-aw. Reuse the frontmatter skills anchor already linked earlier in the same file, or check that reference/copilot-custom-agents is the right page on the live gh-aw docs site. Done when the link resolves to a page that covers SKILL.md and the file has no other broken gh-aw links.

Workshop file reviewed

workshop/29-skills-and-domain-knowledge.md

Problem

The step links the phrase "SKILL.md" to a gh-aw docs URL that does not appear in the validated documentation URL map and has no corresponding slug in the known gh-aw docs sections:

Write a local [SKILL.md](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/custom-agent-for-aw/)

This URL was not present in /tmp/gh-aw/data/doc-url-map-validated.json's doc_url_map, which only contains confirmed-reachable URLs. There is also no custom-agent-for-aw page in the known gh-aw docs section/slug inventory (reference pages include frontmatter, glossary, imports, inline-sub-agents, copilot-custom-agents, etc., but not custom-agent-for-aw).

Current correct syntax

The nearest matching documented page appears to be reference/copilot-custom-agents (https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/copilot-custom-agents/) or the skills: frontmatter section already correctly linked earlier in the same file (https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/frontmatter/#frontmatter-skills-skills). The exact correct target should be confirmed against the live gh-aw docs site before updating.

Suggested fix

Replace the custom-agent-for-aw URL with a verified gh-aw docs URL — either re-link to the existing frontmatter skills: anchor already used elsewhere in this file, or confirm and use the correct docs slug for SKILL.md authoring guidance (e.g. reference/copilot-custom-agents), and add it to the validated doc URL map for future sync checks.
